In the Brittany region, a number of major projects accounted for 32% of the ERDF budgetary envelope for the region's programmes, totalling €83.8 million, concerning in particular rail transport projects, with the result that transport tops the list of ERDF programmes in Brittany. In some regions, this theme accounted for a much smaller percentage (Franche-Comté, Ile-de-France, Corsica). This is partly explained by European requirements to concentrate funds and the regions' wish to identify priority themes to maximise the leverage effect of the funds. Ile-de-France In the OMR, the «transport» theme featured highly in Martinique and Guiana which respectively programmed 20% and 12% of their ERDF budgetary envelope for this theme, i.e. more than €75 and €35 million of ERDF funds invested. In Reunion, this theme accounted for only 2% of the budgetary envelope, for the financing of port and airport infrastructure AND AFTERWARDS... During the 2014-2020 programming period, support for transport will partially be provided through thematic objective 7 (TO7), «promoting sustainable transport and removing bottlenecks in the main infrastructure network». This objective is not a priority in metropolitan France. Furthermore, the field of sustainable urban transport will be covered by the scope of thematic objective 4 dedicated to the move to a low carbon economy. 4
