The Forfait Mobilité Durable included in the law on mobility, represents an optional payment by the employer of comuting costs for employees using "soft mobility" (or active modes: bicycle, etc.) or "alternative" modes (carpooling, free-floating, etc.).
it responds to an issue of social justice and fairness with regard to public transport, for which 50% reimbursement is mandatory for employers
