If the AMF. However. Meanwhile, intercommunalities of France and Urban France share the attention paid to the urgency to finance the road infrastructure and the imperative need to find new funding they denounce the treatment reserved for the municipal block and to the not very dense areas in the final report presented today by Philippe Tabarot Minister responsible for transport.

– the reallocation on the one ambitions france transports – road new hand significant part of road revenues to municipalities and inter -municipalities, accompanied by a specific compensation mechanism for the additional costs of rural areas;

– Integration of the municipal block into ambitions france transports – road the post-contested motorway economic model. Municipalities. intercommunalities which manage more than 65% of the road network must have access to part of the road financing today exclusively monopolized by the State.
