The project promotes the practice of carpooling among inhabitants and workers of the Greater Geneva area.
There are indeed more than 88,000 inhabitants on the border who commute from France to the Greater Geneva area every day! Three actions have been implemented: the creation of a carpool service (drivers and passengers), the improvement of adapted infrastructure (for example carpool spaces), and the creation of a web platform (covoiturage-leman.org).
Partners
- Departmental Council of Haute-Savoie (France)
- Departmental Council of Ain (France)
- Vaud Canton (Switzerland)

- Chablais Region Association (Switzerland)
- Republic and Canton of Geneva (Switzerland)

Target group(s)
Inhabitants and workers of the Greater Geneva area.
