Introduction
The Public Transport Authority
Discover new ways of getting around with the CAT !
At the heart of the Aube department, the Communauté de l’Troyes Agglomeration (CAT) counts more than 120,000 inhabitants, bringing together twelve communes: Bréviandes, La Chapelle-Saint-Luc, La Rivières-de-Corps, Les Noës-près-Troyes, Pont-Sainte-Marie, Rosières-près-Troyes, Saint-André-les-Vergers, Saint-Germain, Saint-Julien-les-Villas, Saint-Parres-aux-Tertres, Sainte-Savine and Troyes.
The CAT is the Public Transport Authority over an area which extends, in several directions, outside of its own territory. As such, it is setting up an urban public transport service, whose operation is being entrusted to the TCAT.
In parallel, the CAT is implementing a social policy aimed at offering as many people as possible access to public transport (jobseekers, people receiving income support, and so on).
As part of its overall approach, the Troyes Agglomeration has set up a Plan de Déplacements Urbains (PDU – urban transport plan) defining the traffic and parking principles for its area. It aims to find a compromise between the travel needs of all, and the reduction of energy consumption, gaseous emissions and noise pollution.

Specific services
Accessibility
Because each of us is different, the CAT and the TCAT make the town easier for all.
The Communauté de l’Agglomération Troyenne has chosen to makes its public transport accessible, so that everyone – regardless of their disability – can travel by bus. With the support of its managing body, the TCAT, it has drawn up a master plan for public transport accessibility, programming compliancy for the entire network (bus and bus-stops) by 2015.
The TCAT bus network is already equipped with:
extra-low platforms on regular lines, leaning-down on standard buses, 47 wheelchair-accessible buses (the network will be fully compliant will the law on accessibility) 5 lines (1, 2, 5, 6 and 7) are already equipped. All of the buses are equipped on Sundays.
Inside the bus, scrolling displays and audible announcements support visual and auditory autonomy.
A specific Minibus and Taxi services is available to People with Reduced Mobility.
In terms of helping people on board, our personnel has received training, and measures to assist ambulant disabled people have been implemented.
