A particularly important step in the construction of the 3rd metro line has therefore just been taken, in the presence of Karine Traval-Michelet and Gérard André, vice-presidents of Toulouse Métropole and elected representatives of the Métropole Solidaire, Ecologique et Démocratique Group within Toulouse Metropolis.

Taking part in a favorable way to vote on this deliberation, Karine Traval-Michelet, mayor of Colomiers, praised the important work carried out by the Tisséo teams in this context, and underlined the importance of the financial commitment that this market constitutes. in a context particularly marked by the economic and social crisis: “Beyond the 140,000 hours of social integration planned within the framework of this contract, this public investment must support the recovery and benefit our territories by constituting a strong lever for employment “.
