The Town of Carcans is experimenting from Tuesday, November 3, 2026, with the Transport d’Utilité Sociale et Solidaire (TUSS), a new service aimed at facilitating travel for residents facing difficulties.

The Transport d’Utilité Sociale et Solidaire (TUSS) is a new mobility service launched by the Town of Carcans. This experimental initiative will begin on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, with the goal of facilitating travel for residents experiencing mobility challenges and promoting their independence.
The service will be provided by volunteer drivers, including those from the Communal Reserve for Civil Security and various social support structures. They will offer free assistance for certain journeys. TUSS is intended for residents registered on the vulnerable persons list, enrolled in the MONALISA program, or facing temporary medical difficulties.
Trips may include nearby grocery shopping, administrative tasks, or medical appointments, even those located far from the town.
TUSS will operate on Tuesdays and Thursdays each week, using municipal vehicles. Requests must be registered and scheduled in advance with the town hall reception, at least the day before the transport, to ensure optimal organization.
This experiment aims to provide a concrete response to mobility needs and strengthen solidarity among the residents of Carcans.
