In the private sector

As a public official, you benefit from partial support of your transport costs enter your home and your workplace by your employer administration. The conditions of support vary depending on whether you use the public transport, a two-wheeler or a carpool. We detail these conditions.

Public transport

You can benefit from the partial support the public transit ticket you use to get from your home to your workplace whether you are a public servant or a contract employee CDD: titleContent or in CDI: titleContent.

If you do not have transportation costs to get to work, you are not entitled to this coverage. This is the case in the following situations:

  • You get other compensation or free transport between your home and your workplace
  • You are accommodated by your employer administration and you do not have transport costs to get to your work
  • You have a company vehicle.

Warning  

Some agents may be obliged to reside within a given geographical area in order to benefit from the partial coverage of their home-work transport costs. This is the case, for example, for teacher researchers.

The tickets that can be partially paid for are:

  • Multimodal subscriptions (i.e. allowing different types of public transport to be used: train, bus, etc.) with unlimited number of journeys
  • Annual, monthly or weekly or tacit renewal cards and subscriptions with unlimited or limited number of trips issued by the RATP: titleContent, the SNCF: titleContent, private transport companies belonging to the professional organization of transport of Île-de-France (Optile) or any other public passenger transport company
  • Subscriptions to a public bicycle rental service.

Tickets purchased individually (e.g. bus tickets purchased individually) are not supported.

Warning  

Support for a public transport service subscription and a bicycle rental service subscription cannot be combined if the subscriptions cover the same routes.

The amount of support varies depending on whether you are traveling in the Paris region or in another region (general case).

General scenario

Your employer administration takes care of the 3/4 of the price of your subscription.

However, the participation of your employer administration cannot exceed €104.04 per month.

The participation of your employer administration is based on the most economical rate charged by carriers. For example on the 2e class for an SNCF subscription.

The participation of your employer's administration covers the cost of the ticket(s) allowing you to make the journey in the shortest time between your habitual residence closest to your workplace and your workplace.

If you work part-time or incomplete or incomplete time, you will receive the same support as a full-time agent if your working time is equal to or greater than half-time.

If your working time is less than half-time, your care is reduced by half.

Partial refunds of the price of your subscription ticket are exempt from income tax.

They are therefore not included in the amount of taxable net income on your pay slips and pre-filled tax return.

Paris region

Your employer administration takes care of the 3/4 of the price of your subscription.

The participation of your employer administration is based on the annual navigo package (even if you have for example a monthly navigo package).

The participation of your employer administration cannot exceed €104.04 per month.

The participation of your employer's administration covers the cost of the ticket(s) allowing you to make the journey in the shortest time between your habitual residence closest to your workplace and your workplace.

If you work part-time or incomplete or incomplete time, you will receive the same support as a full-time agent if your working time is equal to or greater than half-time.

If your working time is less than half-time, your care is reduced by half.

Partial refunds of the price of your subscription ticket are exempt from income tax.

They are therefore not included in the amount of taxable net income on your pay slips and pre-filled tax return.

To benefit from the partial support of the price of your subscription tickets, you must provide your human resources department your transport document(s).

Your tickets must be in your name.

The partial refund of the price of your ticket is monthly.

An annual ticket is refunded every month.

You must report any change in your individual situation that changes the conditions of the support (change of address, change from a public transport subscription to a bicycle subscription, etc.).

The coverage of your transportation costs differs depending on whether you have several employer administrations or a single employer administration, but several workplaces:

Multiple Employer Administrations

If you have to subscribe to different subscriptions, each of your employer administrations will cover the subscriptions required to travel between your home and your workplace.

If you use the same subscription for all your trips, you benefit from a coverage of your ticket, by each of your employer administrations, in proportion to the time worked with each of them.

Several workplaces

If you have several workplaces (with the same employer administration), you benefit from the coverage of the ticket(s) allowing you to move between your home and your different workplaces.

Partial payment of your ticket is no longer paid during the following periods:

  • Sick leave, long-term sickness leave, severe sickness leave, long-term leave, leave for temporary invalidity attributable to service, leave for accident at work or occupational disease
  • Maternity or adoption leave
  • Paternity and childcare leave
  • Parental Attendance Leave
  • Vocational Training Leave
  • Union Training Leave
  • Family solidarity leave
  • Enhanced leave
  • Annual leave taken under the time savings account.

Care is maintained until the end of the month in which the leave begins.

When the resumption of service takes place during a subsequent month, the support is carried out for that entire month.

Thus, if your absence starts within one month and ends the following month, the care is not interrupted.

However, it is interrupted when the absence begins within a month and ends more than 2 months later.

Example :

In case of absence from June 4 to August 18, you do not benefit from the partial coverage of your ticket during the month of July.

Two wheels or carpooling

The conditions for covering your transportation costs vary according to your public service (State - FPE, Territorial - FPT, Hospital - FPH):
