Tontouta Mouv' is the inter-company mobility plan (PDIE) of the Nouméa-La Tontouta airport platform.

Initiated by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of New Caledonia, this collective approach aims to better understand and optimize the movements of employees and visitors to the airport.

For the companies on the platform, it is a means of participating in the implementation of a transportation system aimed at streamlining, sharing, and facilitating movements. It will allow, based on the diagnosis of each individual's practices and constraints, to build an action plan and optimize modes of transportation.

Background and CCI's Intention

Nearly 1,000 people work at the Nouméa-La Tontouta airport platform and commute daily between their homes and the airport, primarily using private cars as the mode of transportation. These commutes, often occurring at unconventional hours due to air traffic, represent a significant source of stress, fatigue, road risks, as well as costs and greenhouse gas emissions.

With 100 employees present at the Nouméa-La Tontouta airport, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) decided in 2016 to explore mobility solutions that could be developed to access the airport platform. Already engaged in raising awareness and supporting companies in addressing environmental challenges, the CCI rallied the Ademe (French Environment and Energy Management Agency), the government, and eleven companies and entities present on the airport platform to identify strategies for shared transportation among employees. In total, the launch of Tontouta Mouv' affects 800 people.
