Organisers
The Transports Publics 2012 exhibition is organised by the GIE Objectif transport public created by the GART (French Transportation Authorities Group) and the UTP (French Public and Rail Transport Union).
Created by the Transportation Authorities Group (GART) and the Public and Rail Transport Union (UTP), GIE Objectif Transport Public's mission is to promote public transport and raise awareness of sustainable mobility issues among professionals and the general public. This strategy is implemented by organising large-scale events in France.
