REGIM

What REGIM does

RÉGÎM (Régie intermunicipale de transport Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine) is a Quebec public intermunicipal transit authority established in 2010 and formally constituted as a Régie under Quebec law on January 1, 2013. Headquartered in Carleton-sur-Mer, the organization operates collective and adapted public transportation across the Gaspésie peninsula and the Îles-de-la-Madeleine archipelago, serving a geographically dispersed rural and island population. Its core network comprises approximately 22 numbered bus routes organized by sector (Haute-Gaspésie, Côte-de-Gaspé–Rocher-Percé, Baie-des-Chaleurs, and Îles-de-la-Madeleine), supplemented by adapted transport for people with reduced mobility (A2 Gaspé, A4 Baie-des-Chaleurs), electric carsharing via the SAUVÉR platform, bike sharing, and seasonal shuttle services including the Forillon tourist shuttle and intermodal connections.

The core technology platform is a proprietary mobile application launched August 2025 on iOS and Android that integrates real-time GPS vehicle tracking, dynamic schedule management, multi-territory coordination, ride reservations, itinerary visualization, push notifications, and a digital access card accessible as a barcode within the app — replacing physical fare cards. The app is explicitly designed to operate in zones with intermittent or absent mobile network coverage, reflecting the territory's rural connectivity constraints. Operations are supported by six physical service points, a toll-free customer service line (1 877 521-0841), and an in-app customer space.

RÉGÎM's revenue model is hybrid, blending farebox revenue with public funding. Fare streams include single-trip cash fares (raised for the first time since 2015 in January 2024), monthly and seasonal subscription passes, student passes ($200 session pass at Cégep de la Gaspésie et des Îles-de-la-Madeleine), senior and youth free-summer gratuities, and usage-based carsharing fees ($5/hour promotional rate through December 2025). The larger revenue pillars are the Quebec government's Programme d'aide au développement du transport collectif (PADTC), fuel tax contributions (declining), and municipal contributions. Customer segments include general residents, students, seniors, people with reduced mobility, and seasonal tourists, with ridership of 113,915 displacements recorded in 2017. The organization is governed by a board including municipal officials such as Gaspé mayor Daniel Côté as president and Allen Cormier as vice-president, with Marie-Andrée Pichette serving as Directrice générale.

Revenue model

1. Public Transit Fares: Single-trip fares paid by riders at boarding ($4 per boarding for adapted transport; cash and digital ticket options available). Revenue is supplemented by monthly and seasonal pass sales, student passes, and booklet tickets sold at points of service and via the app.
2. Government Funding (PADTC): Primary funding from the Programme d'aide au développement du transport collectif (PADTC), a Quebec government program. The organization has operated for 15 years with government transfers, fuel tax revenues, and municipal contributions as core funding pillars. Recent reductions to PADTC parameters (effective retroactively January 2025) have led to service adjustments.
3. Fuel Tax Revenues: Automobile contribution via a fuel tax, which has been decreasing in recent years, constituting a declining portion of the revenue mix.
4. Carsharing Fees: Revenue from electric vehicle car-sharing at $5/hour (promotional rate through December 2025), covering vehicle usage without monthly fees or insurance costs.
