The national cycling plan aims to triple the number of cyclists in our cities by 2024. This cycling plan is part of the Mobility Orientation Law. The introduction of the Sustainable Mobility Package is one of the key measures of the cycling plan.
Cycling: a device eligible for the Sustainable Mobility Package
The Forfait mobilités durables (sustainable mobility package) enables employers to contribute to home-to-work journeys made by bicycle, thanks to the LOM law. Employers can decide to grant up to €700 a year to their employees to encourage them to use "soft" forms of mobility.
What expenses are eligible for the Sustainable Mobility Package?
Sustainable mobility package and purchase of an electric bicycle
The employee can use the sum allocated under the Forfait mobilités durables scheme to purchase an electrically-assisted bicycle. The Forfait mobilités durables can be used in conjunction with the various subsidies offered by regional or local authorities. For example, Île-de-France Mobilités offers a 500-euro bonus for the purchase of an electrically-assisted bicycle. To this sum can be added the 700 euros (Promulgated by the Climate and Resilience law) of the Forfait mobilités durables paid by the employer. This is a real advantage for employees.
Sustainable mobility package and purchase of a "classic" bicycle
The Sustainable Mobility Package allows you to finance the purchase of any type of bicycle. This includes mountain bikes, mountain bikes, road bikes, etc.
Sustainable mobility and bicycle repair package
The Sustainable Mobility Package also allows you to have your own bike repaired. Annual maintenance or repairs (changing brakes, punctures, etc.) are included in the Sustainable Mobility Package.
Sustainable mobility package and free-floating bicycle use
The Sustainable Mobility Package can also be used to subscribe to a bike-sharing service. These are self-service bicycles, electric or not
Sustainable mobility package and bicycle mileage allowance
The Sustainable Mobility Package replaces the kilometre-based bicycle allowance, which rewards employees for using their personal bicycles to get to work. Employers who pay employees the kilometre-based bicycle allowance may continue to pay this allowance. This payment is then assimilated to the payment of the sustainable mobility allowance.
Good to know: since January 1, 2022, expenses under the Sustainable Mobility Package include the purchase of a motorized personal mobility device, in particular electric scooters, monoroues, gyropodes, skateboards and hoverboards.
Worklife card to facilitate the implementation of the Sustainable Mobility Package
The Worklife mobility voucher card offers greater administrative simplicity for the company and effective traceability of expenditure. With the Worklife card, transactions can be tracked instantly, and their validity checked against the company's mobility policy. Worklife vouches for employees' use of sustainable mobility and provides the company with a single monthly certificate for all employees. This gives the company the assurance that the sums allocated will be spent on home-work mobility. No more payment receipts to analyze and validate.
