Authorities in Geneva and France have signed a historic agreement to jointly finance cross-border mobility infrastructure entirely on French soil.
Under the plan, both parties will invest 182 million CHF by 2032 in projects aimed at easing traffic congestion, including park-and-ride facilities, high-capacity buses, trams, and dedicated lanes.
Officials describe the initiative as crucial for tackling severe congestion in the region, with Geneva alone experiencing five and a half hours of daily traffic delays.
The agreement foresees the creation of over 2,100 new park-and-ride spaces along with enhanced cross-border public transport connections, potentially removing thousands of cars from key crossings each day.
The projects are contingent upon a mandatory referendum in Geneva, expected at the end of 2026 or early 2027. If approved, construction could begin immediately thereafter.
