Luxembourg and nine municipalities agree TICE funding through 2036

Funding is settled until 2036 (extension possible): the state initially contributes more than EUR 700 million and the municipalities at most EUR 150 million; the governing bodies of the new association are split equally.

On 10 November 2025 the state signed an agreement with the nine member municipalities of TICE in the south of the country (including Esch-sur-Alzette, Differdange and Dudelange) that dissolves the intermunicipal association on 1 January 2027 and replaces it with a mixed association of state and municipalities whose governing bodies are split equally. Funding is settled until 2036; the state initially contributes more than EUR 700 million and the municipalities at most EUR 150 million, and the association is to provide efficient public transport in the southern region in line with the future National Mobility Plan 2040. On 14 November 2025 the government council approved the preliminary draft of a law on funding scheduled bus services in the nine municipalities, while the draft on founding the association is still being prepared.
