Car park infrastructure will be improved to encourage potential users to continue their journey by public transport. Société du Tramway de Rabat-Salé (STRS) is planning to build two park and ride points in Salé and a third near the Madinat Al Irfane university campus in 2012. The city will benefit from French expertise through its collaboration with the Agence française de développement (AFD), the French development agency and Greater Lyon.
