The projects in the region

The projects deployed by SNCF Réseau in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes focus in particular on infrastructure maintenance and equipment renewal operations, as well as improving the safety of existing structures, such as bridges, tunnels and level crossings. The projects in our region ensure regenerating railway lines, building new tracks and improving the performance of existing lines.

Our initiatives for the region

Through its activities, SNCF Réseau makes a significant contribution to revitalising the region. Developing the mobility offer in close collaboration with our customers, putting safety at the heart of our day-to-day operations, improving the regularity of service and reducing our environmental footprint are the major challenges that guide the actions of our agents on a daily basis. 

Always satisfying our customers more

SNCF Réseau's regional customers are: the State (Intercités trains), the Regional Council (Regional Express Trains), and around twenty passenger and goods transportation companies. Their satisfaction is at the heart of our business plan. That's why we work hard every day to achieve a high level of service quality. To achieve this, we maintain a regular dialogue with our customers and partners.

Safety as a priority

Safety is at the heart of our day to day operations. Every day, we inspect and maintain the rail network, paying particular attention to safety at level crossings. We are also taking action to improve health and safety at work, which is an integral part of our corporate culture.

Regeneration of lines providing comprehensive coverage of the region

SNCF Réseau's mission is to concentrate its efforts on the busiest network, serving the greatest number of passengers. More isolated lines, with very specific needs, require financial support from our partners.
