The trade union of transport of Ile-de-France ( STIF ) is the organizing authority of transport of the area Île-de-France. The members of the STIF are the Île-de-France area and the eight department S of this area: the Essonne, Hauts-de-Seine, Paris, Seine-Saint-Denis, Seine-et-Marne, the Valley-of-Marne, Val-d'Oise, Yvelines.
Within the framework of decentralization, the State withdrew on July 1st, 2005 of the Board of directors of the STIF, which since is chaired by the president of the Area Île-de-France.
New missions were also entrusted to the STIF. With 3,7 billion euros poured in 2005 for operation, the STIF is the principal financor of franciliens transport.
History and evolution
The STIF is resulting from the evolution of various forms of organization of Parisian transport, born in the years 1930.November 12th 1938 is founded the committee of Parisian transport, directed by the State.
The 1er January 1949, the regional office of Parisian transport (ORTP) succeeds the committee of Parisian transport. The 1er January 1959 the ORTP is replaced by the STP (Trade union of transport Parisian), public corporation consisted the State, the town of Paris and the departments of the the Seine, of Seine-et-Oise and Seine-et-Marne.
In 1968, the STP is reorganized to make there enter new the department of Ile-de-France (the Essonne, Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-Saint-Denis, the Valley-of-Marne, Val-d'Oise, Yvelines). Moreover the STP has financial autonomy and its president is the Regional prefect).
In 1991, its competence is extended to the whole of the territory of the area Île-de-France.
December 14th, 2000, the STP is transformed into STIF, pursuant to the law n° 2000-1208 of the 12/13/2000 relating to solidarity and the renewal urban, said law SRU. This reform results in the transformation of the STIF, tool controlled (and partially financed) by the State in a public corporation placed under the supervision of the Area, with an increasingly restricted financing of the State.
The evolution in progress, which was to apply at the latest the 1er July 2005, envisages the complete withdrawal of the State of the board of directors, which will consequently be chaired by the president of the area or one of its representatives. Its competences will be widened, with equal those of the organizing authorities of transport of province, in particular giving him the capacity to carry out projects of infrastructure, to organize the regular school transport and river services travellers, to revise PDU, or to fix the rates of the payment transport.
A vast debate between the district council and the State concerning the budgetary equipment of the STIF largely delayed these forecasts. The STIF, new formula, thus meet on March 15th, 2006 for the first time
