What is the Sustainable Mobility Package?

The Forfait Mobilités Durables (Sustainable Mobility Package) is a measure introduced by the French government thanks to the Loi d'Orientation des Mobilités (LOM) dated December 24, 2019, which enables employers to cover all or part of their employees' travel costs between home and work.
The allowance granted by the Forfait Mobilités Durables is fully tax-free for the employee and exempt from social security contributions for the employer, enabling companies to help their employees while remaining tax-neutral on the amount granted.

Which modes of transport are eligible for the Forfait Mobilités Durables (FMD)?

There are many modes of transport eligible for the FMD, enabling private-sector companies to cover a wide range of means of locomotion.
The modes of transport are as follows:

  • Public transport other than those covered by the 50% subsidy for season tickets
  • Car-sharing services for low-emission motor vehicles (hybrid, electric, rechargeable or hydrogen-powered vehicles).
  • Scooters, electric scooters and bicycles, electric or otherwise, for hire
  • The employee's personal bicycle (electric or mechanical)

Mobility Pack enables you to manage these procedures. Avoid your employees having to advance expenses, and your managers having to process expense claims.

So that they can pay for their journeys to and from work. This solution enables you to easily deploy FDM in your company. It represents an interesting tool in environmental, social (particularly for young people) and fiscal terms.

The advantages of the Sustainable Mobility Package for fleet managers

One of the main advantages of the Forfait Mobilités Durables is its financial incentive aspect, as it allows tax exemption for charges and social security contributions when the amount allocated to each employee does not exceed €800 per year for many uses. What's more, the Forfait Mobilités Durables allows companies to track employee expenses, so that at the end of the year, they can keep a close eye on what the employee has actually spent.

However, apart from the economic aspect, the Sustainable Mobility Package helps to establish a strong CSR policy, as it shows that the company is part of a responsible environmental dynamic, concerned about the ecological impact that its employees may have during their various journeys.

The forms the Sustainable Mobility Package can take

The Forfait Mobilités Durables (Sustainable Mobility Package) can be represented in a number of ways, such as through mobility vouchers. The advantage of these mobility vouchers is that employees can use their balance for a variety of purposes, such as car-sharing, car-pooling or even fuel costs for their company vehicle.

For example, the Ticket Mobilité solution is designed to pay for fuel costs, up to an allocated budget (e.g. €200 per year) for internal combustion or electric vehicles, as well as for journeys between home and work.
