Île-de-France Mobilités, Official Partner of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games

In Île-de-France, host region for the Paris 2024 Games, 25 Olympic venues and 17 Paralympic venues await the arrival of spectators.

For this major event, a goal was established: ensure that all spectators have access to the competition venues via public transport.

This is a major challenge that Île-de-France Mobilités, the organising authority for public transport in the Ile-de-France region and Official Partner of the Paris 2024 Games, is ready to take on and has been preparing for several years.

Transporting spectators: Île-de-France Mobilités has been actively involved since the initial application of the bid.

Welcoming several million spectators and thousands of athletes and accredited participants requires preparation! For several years, Île-de-France Mobilités has brought together all its expertise in public transport management, to serve the largest global sporting event.

Actively involved since the application phase to make this global event a success, Île-de-France Mobilités, which brings together and oversees all public transport stakeholders in the Île-de-France Region, has set up a transport and mobility plan designed specifically for the Paris 2024 Games, in close collaboration with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Mobility Committee for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games (CMJOP).

During the Paris 2024 Games, the public transport services provided by the Île-de-France Mobilités operators (principally RATP and Transilien SNCF Voyageurs) will be more concentrated in the heart of the city and around 15% greater than on a typical summer day.

le-de-France Mobilités: Official Partner for regional public transport

In addition to Toyota, the Global Mobility Partner, which is already supporting the Paris 2024 Games, the Organizing Committee chose Île-de-France Mobilités for the transport of accredited participants (Olympic and Paralympic athletes, federations, volunteers or media).

With a fleet of 10,500 buses and coaches, distributed around 200 bus operational centres, Île-de-France Mobilités is one of the key players in this challenge. The public authorities have extended its responsibilities for the duration of the Games so that it can carry out these missions alongside Paris 2024.

A fleet of buses and coaches to transport accredited participants

A fleet of around 1,000 buses and coaches (equivalent to the transport network of the city of Lyon) will meet the challenge to transport 200,000 accredited participants, in addition to the standard public transport service.

Passenger information and a dedicated app

Île-de-France Mobilités is also supporting Paris 2024 to provide the best possible information for the region’s residents and tourists, to help them organise their travel plans. Île-de-France Mobilités will launch an application dedicated to transport in Île-de-France during the Games in spring 2024.

A “Paris 2024” pass

For easier access to public transport, to avoid queues and save time the “Paris 2024” pass I being launched. It is a practical and value for money pass designed to make life easier for spectators at the Paris 2024 Games.

Shuttles dedicated to transporting spectators in wheelchairs

Even though 90% of tram, train and RER traffic will be covered by an accessible station by the start of the Paris 2024 Games, the extraordinary level of demand for public transport will pose some problems for the mobility of spectators in wheelchairs. and their companions. Four thousand spectators in wheelchairs are expected each day during the Olympic Games and 2,500 during the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.

To facilitate travel for all spectators, Île-de-France Mobilités is setting up a transport service dedicated to spectators who have purchased a PFR (wheelchair) ticket for the Paris 2024 Games.

By reservation only, this service will get spectators directly to the Olympic and Paralympic venues from the major central Paris stations on the network (Gare de Lyon, Gare d'Austerlitz, Gare Montparnasse, Gare Saint-Lazare, Gare du Nord, Gare de l East, Rosa Parks station on the RER E), using reserved traffic lanes on the roads.
