The administrative court of Orléans disavowed a mother of a family of Sainte-Maure-de-Touraine (Indre-et-Loire) which called for the creation of a new breakpoint for the school transport.

Known locally for being the president of the A10 residents' association, this woman had in fact seized the president of the Centre-Val-de-Loire Region, François Bonneau (PS), to benefit from this new bus stop between his property, rue des Lamberts and the Chesneau bridge.

No new school bus stop despite the request of this mother in Indre-et-Loire

But the elected official had “refused” to grant his request November 11, 2021.

To justify the rejection of the implementation request, the management of the Transport and Sustainable Mobility department of the regional council had in fact “based on the risks incurred in the event of bus stops on this path.

But the mother hadn't given up however, and had referred the matter to the Orléans administrative court on January 11, 2022: she considered that no “security reasons” opposed the creation of this new bus stop.

To benefit from school transport you must live more than 3km from the establishment

Pour benefit from the transport network schools Rémi 37, “the distance between the place of residence and the location of the school attended” must in fact “be greater than or equal to 3 km” to be qualified asentitled to this public servicein fact provides for the regulation of school transport.

In this case the applicant “lives 2.6 and 2.8 kilometers from the schools of her two children, who cannot therefore claim the status of rights holders of the school transport service”, begins by first evacuating the administrative court of Orléans in a decision dated October 8, 2024 and which has just been made public.

The “visibility distance” is not respected

For “persons not meeting the criteria” of this first condition, it is however always possible to request the creation of a new judgment, swe reserve the organization of a “field visit” to “validate the security” of the premises.

However, an on-site “visit” was organized on September 28, 2021, in the presence of the carrier and the mayor of Sainte-Maure-de-Touraine.

This trip organized by the Region had “demonstrated (…) that no stopping point could not be validated on the grounds that the required visibility distance of 110 meters could not be respected. In the end, the mother therefore provides “no relevant element” to contest the “security reasons” retained by the Centre-Val-de-Loire Region.

She has until December 8, 2024 to to appeal of this judgment before the administrative court of appeal of Versailles.
