the fastest-growing cities in France the south-western conurbation of Montpellier has jumped from the country's Fast-expanding French city with transport worries First major order for Alstom Citadis vehicle the south-western conurbation of Montpellier has jumped from the country’s 25th to 8th largest city in the last 25 years City leaders decided in July 1995 that they needed a long-term solution for the growing transport problems that this expansion was beginning to cause and gave themselves five years to complete the project Modern light rail systems have gained much popularity in France with several under construction and others being expanded Montpellier is currently working on extension proposals with a total of 30.5km (19 miles) of new alignments planned in the city system was largely determined by the city leaders’ desire for a system with its own dedicated alignments were not seen as a viable solution and as existing bus routes were already at or near capacity a new high-capacity articulated tram system similar to those which had already proved popular and successful in many other growing central European cities Public transport accounts for a relatively high 17% of all journeys into and out of the city centre but the tramway’s introduction is seen as a major contributor to the achievement of strict new EU standards on air quality and further extensions to the network in the three years from 2007 are enhancing this position The operator is Transports de l’Agglomeration de Montpellier (TAM) a complex French-based conglomeration of 96 individual companies many of them joint ventures with local authorities in more than 50 cities it has become a leading world light rail operator The initial route follows a winding course running broadly east-west from Odysseum to Moisson with 26 intermediate stops along its 15.2km length (two more were added in 2002) Around 75,000 people live within five minutes’ walk of a tram stop and the route serves such major centres of activity as the main hospital exhibition centre and principal rail terminus The tramway is seen as the final piece in the jigsaw of urban regeneration which has already seen the university As much of the tramway as possible is laid on grassed tracks on reserved alignments separated from existing roads and cycle racks are provided at all stops The lengthening of trams by a third has required modifications to stops and depot maintenance facilities The preferred route for the new 19.5km Line 2 agreed in September 2001 and connecting from Line 1 in the city centre is from the south-west to the north-east and is fully operational of which a quarter will come from central government A further 10km extension to Line 2 is currently being investigated alongside a 500m extension of Line 1 The extension of Line 2 will take it from St-Jean-de-Vedas to Courmonsec The main extension of the network is the construction of Line 3 and a 20km (12.5-mile) alignment is proposed running between Juvenac and Moisson to connect with Line 1 Construction is due to be completed in 2010 Montpellier was the first city to order Alstom’s sleek low-floor trams were ordered but ridership has been so high that new centre cars have been needed Citadis is a modular light rail vehicle platform which can be adapted to each customer’s needs A range of interior layouts is offered by Alstom or it can be customised to individual requirements leading contemporary artists Elizabeth Garouste and Mattia Bonetti have been employed to design an elegant corporate livery which the city believes encapsulates its qualities of warmth The swallow motif is said to evoke freedom The trams operate under multiple-aspect colour light signals and the use of almost entirely reserved trackbed allows a much-simplified signalling system to be used the signals are phased to give priority to trams at all times The trams are fitted with a variant of the automatic train operation (ATO) system which allows the length of station stops to be set automatically is seen as the precursor to an eventual three-line network with north and eastward extensions also planned alongside the original line is the site of a proposed Languedoc-Roussillon TGV (high-speed heavy rail) terminal and will also serve the city’s airport the construction of Line 3 is now becoming a reality with a completion deadline of

the city center to cross Montpellier completely It is therefore imperative to reduce this transit traffic 2 routes are planned via boulevards and road bypasses: solutions are in place to avoid traffic jams: parking lots and alternative car use schemes Easy access to the city center with convenient parking is possible: The Comédie tunnel reinforces its function as access to the 1,200 spaces in the Comédie and Triangle parking lots the route to these parking lots is reinforced The Métropole has installed 66 charging stations Notably in the vicinity of the Hôtel de Ville and Hôtel de Métropole and in multimodal interchange hubs (Saint-Roch In 2024, the Metropole has gradually deployed 600 new charging points in public spaces with its partner E-totem The slowest charge will be free for metropolitan residents via the M'ticket application Charging points for electric-assist bicycles will also be available the maximum speed limit in Montpellier's "agglomerate zone" has been 30 km/h There are many arguments in favor of this measure This decision is the responsibility of the local authorities 5 advances to consider when lifting the foot off the gas: The other communes have agreed to a gradual application all communes in the metropolis will have generalized 30 km/h Since July 1, 2022, the "Low Emission Zone" (ZFE) has been implemented in the Montpellier metropolis This national scheme is compulsory in 35 French conurbations restrict the right to circulate to the most polluting vehicles the ZFE is one of the actions to improve air quality along with public transport (free and extended network) cycling (reserved lanes and assistance) and walking The air is significantly impacted by various emissions linked to road traffic: nitrogen oxides first these pollutants combined with the effects of sunlight generate Ozone in the ambient air All these pollutants have effects on health: respiratory problems Private and professional users of motor vehicles 6 categories, from the least polluting vehicle to the most polluting, according to the energy used and the date of introduction.
