What is our ambition?

SNCF Réseau is a committed company whose vocation is to pave the way for sustainable mobility everywhere and for everyone. Our ambition is to create the conditions for doubling rail traffic in the next 10 to 15 years, so that rail becomes the preferred mode of transport for passengers and goods.

For the rail system as a whole, we manage crisis management, accessibility for people with reduced mobility and the management of passenger stations.

Industrial regeneration, timetable construction, project management for major projects, etc. Our teams mobilise their unique and long-standing expertise to meet the needs of our customers, regions and society as a whole.

    Innovating together

Trains accessible to all

In terms of accessibility, we share the ambition of the entire rail system: to develop trains for everyone! The mission of our Accessibility Department is to guarantee rail mobility for people with disabilities and reduced mobility all across the French rail network. Together with all the railway companies and partner associations, it initiates and coordinates actions to make trains and stations accessible: facilities, equipment, digital accessibility, staff training, etc.  

Rail accessibility

Europe's railways are ours!

A railway area without borders is emerging in Europe. We are making an active contribution to its construction, by maintaining an ongoing dialogue with the European Commission and European railway stakeholders, to identify the key performance areas for the major network of the future.
