The Ministry

Last update

The government statement sets specific objectives for each of the two domains covered by the remit of the Ministry of Mobility and Public Works (MMTP). The Ministry is divided into four general directorates to carry out its missions:

  • DG I – General directorate of European and Legal Affairs, Public Procurement and Logistics
  • DG II – General directorate of Public Buildings and Urban Development
  • DG III – General directorate of Mobility, Transport and Transport Infrastructure
  • DG IV – General directorate of General Affairs, Aviation, Strategy and Innovation

The Ministry is supported in carrying out its remit by two public institutions:

the Fonds Belval: the project owner for the construction of government projects on the Belval industrial wasteland  

the Fonds Kirchberg: responsible for the urban development and planning of the Plateau de Kirchberg.

The priority interventions in the areas of transport and public works are:

The implementation of an integrated transport policy

The government seeks to ensure that addressing mobility bottlenecks for both professional and leisure activities is given top priority.

The sustainable mobility strategy serves as a set of guidelines that need to be further developed and implemented for this purpose.

The aim is to ensure good public transport coverage and to factor in active mobility in the planning stage of all road and rail infrastructure projects, public buildings, new housing developments, leisure facilities and shopping centers. Targeted management of parking areas will also be introduced.

In this context, the Ministry develops a national mobility plan in order to organise and coordinate mobility with the aim of optimising sustainable and multimodal transportation.

The Ministry has the digital mobility observatory (Observatoire digital de la mobilité, ODM) at it’s disposal in order to effectively and continuously gather the necessary data for mobility planning adapted to evolving needs,

Identifying new approaches to enable faster and more efficient construction and maintenance

To address the urgent infrastructure needs, the objective is to ensure the rapid construction and maintenance of public buildings and infrastructure projects, while optimizing financial and human resource allocation.

An ambitious investment program and financial monitoring of major projects will allow implementation within a shorter timeframe.
