Unemployment and transportation in France
You live in the department Haute Garonne and you are unemployed?
If you are registered to Pôle Emploi, you can get a free transportation pass for Bus/subway/tramway (Tisseo) and departemental train (SNCF-TER) for a period of 6 months.
1) You live in one of these 53 cities around Toulouse
see this PDF to know if your city is included : http://www.tisseo.fr/sites/default/files/Communes_PTU_gratuite_DE.pdf
a) Bus/subway/tramway (Tisseo)
- If you do not have it yet, you need to get your pass "Carte Pastel" at one of this Tisseo agence (Jean Jaurès, Arène or Occitane in Toulouse). You will need a photo, an ID card (passport) and an "Avis de situation" from Pôle Emploi. You can print the "Avis de situation" from your personal account on the pôle emploi website.
- If you have your "Carte pastel" just go to one of this Tisseo agence (Jean Jaurès, Arène or Occitane) with your "Avis de situation" from Pôle Emploi.
b) Departemental Train (SNCF-TER)
Few days after you got your free transportation for bus/subway/Tramway, you will receive at home a document from the Conseil General de la Haute-Garonne, with a little blue card called "justificatif SNCF".
To get the free transportation for departemental train (SNCF-TER) you need to go to this address with this little blue card and your Carte Pastel:
