Mobility pass (titre-mobilité)
Mandatory French benefit (LOM law) for employers with 50+ staff: coverage of at least 75% of the cost of employees' public-transit passes.
Definition
The mobility pass (titre-mobilité) is a benefit created by France’s 2019 Mobility Orientation Law (LOM). It covers employees’ public-transit subscriptions. For companies with at least 50 employees, this coverage is mandatory and at least 75% of the pass price.
In detail
The mobility pass replaces the former “titre-transport”. It is codified in Article L3261-1 of the Labour Code:
- 50 employees or more: coverage is mandatory, at 75% minimum of the price of a public-transit pass (metro, bus, train, RER).
- Fewer than 50 employees: coverage is optional, but once an employer introduces it, it cannot be withdrawn unilaterally (save in defined cases).
Extension to bikes
The scheme also covers self-service bike subscriptions and shared road-mobility services. It is exempt from social charges and income tax up to 75% of the cost.
Link to the sustainable mobility package
The mobility pass (transit subscription) and the sustainable mobility package (FMD) are cumulative: an employee can receive both the transit-pass coverage and the FMD for other mobility costs (carpooling, EV charging).
Worked example
An employee pays a monthly pass of €75:
- Employer coverage (75%): €56.25
- Employee share: €18.75/month, i.e. €225/year
- Charge-exempt cost for the employer.
Frequently asked questions
Is the mobility pass mandatory for every company?
It is mandatory (75% minimum) for employers with 50 or more employees. Below that threshold it is optional, but once granted it cannot be reversed.
Does the mobility pass combine with the sustainable mobility package?
Yes. Transit-pass coverage (mobility pass) is cumulative with the sustainable mobility package for other clean-travel expenses.
