The decree turns a 2025 financial support scheme into a recurring annual mechanism for French departments and single territorial authorities. The aid, paid by the National Solidarity Fund for Autonomy, is set at €75 million per year and supports mobility programs and structured dialogue or best-practice sharing linked to autonomy services. Departments must send forecast spending documents by 31 March to receive support. They can receive an advance of up to 80% by 31 May, with the final amount adjusted by 30 September of the following year based on actual justified net costs. The decree also adds caps for vehicle purchase and rental support costs that can be counted under the scheme.

Obligations
What this law requires
Departments and single territorial authorities must transmit their annual or multiannual forecast mobility-support and dialogue/best-practice-sharing programs, and any annual updates, to the National Solidarity Fund for Autonomy (CNSA).
To receive the annual financial support, departments and single territorial authorities must send CNSA an attestation listing the forecast eligible expenses for the year under the relevant programs.
Departments and single territorial authorities must justify the actual net costs incurred under the supported programs so that the final amount of aid can be established.
When calculating eligible expenses for direct vehicle-purchase support, departments and single territorial authorities may count purchase-support expenses only up to €20,000 per vehicle, or €4,000 per year where the support is amortized.
When calculating eligible expenses for vehicle-rental support, departments and single territorial authorities may count rental-support expenses only up to €350 per vehicle per month.
