Self Service Bike Sharing System in Paris - Vélib
The introduction of the largest self-service bike sharing system took place in Paris in July 2007 with initially 1,000 self-service stations and 10,000 bikes in the first 8 months of operation; these have increased to over 1,450 stations and 20,000 bikes. In the first 8 months of operation there have been over 15 million registered borrowing of bikes and the success of the scheme has received widespread media coverage and significant interest from other cities considering the introduction of similar schemes.
Rapp Trans' associated office in Paris is assisting the City of Paris in the project management of the data and payment system used for delivering the on-street service and monitoring the service provider against the contractual service levels.

French Heavy Vehicles Tax
The national heavy goods vehicle distance-based tax project was launched by the French government as a result of the environment round table in October 2007. The project involves the collection of a tax without stopping the liable vehicles, deployment of innovative contracts and technologies.
A consultancy team led by Rapp Trans supports the French government in the planning of this strategic project to be implemented within a very short time frame. The team is responsible for the general and technical assistance across the programme, preparation of the statement of requirements, and supporting the procurement process.
