Overseen by an EPIC (Industrial and Commercial Public Undertaking), RATP is a State-Funded Public Corporation. The Board of Directors is governed by the So-Called “Three-Thirds Rule“: a Third of its Representatives must be from the French State, a Third must be Employee Representatives, and the Remaining Third must be “Qualified People“
RATP owns the ÃŽle-de-France Infrastructure Networks that it operates (Metro, Tram and RER Suburban Lines). It is responsible for managing and ensuring the Safety of these Networks and also keeping them in Good Condition. The Rolling stock (Buses, Metro, RER Suburban Lines and Tram) is owned by ÃŽle-de-France Mobilités.

RATP operates its Historical Networks in the ÃŽle-de-France Region as part of a Contract with ÃŽle-de-France Mobilités, the Organising Authority for Public Transport in the Paris ÃŽle-de-France Region. The ARAF (French Rail Regulatory Body) lLw of 3 November 2009 on the Organisation and Regulation of Rail Transport reformed the RATP´s Legal and Economic Model for the first time since 1948. This Law (article 5) has adapted the Passenger Transport Regulations for the ÃŽle-de-France Region to the European OSP regulations regarding the Opening to Competition of Passenger Transport in 2009 .
The Public Transport Market in the ÃŽle-de-France Region is now open to Competition. ÃŽle-de-France Mobilités must ensure Competition between ÃŽle-de-France Operators for all New Services. For all Existing Networks, a Transition Period has been planned :
* 15 years for the Bus Network
* 20 years for the Tram Network
* 30 years for the Metro and the RER Suburban Lines Networks.
