The Autorité de Régulation des Activités Ferroviaires is a French government agency which regulates rail transport.[1]
ARAF was officially founded in December 2010,[2] but there was considerable informal work before that date. The headquarters is in Le Mans.[3] and Pierre Cardo was appointed as its first president.[4] ARAF is funded by a levy on track access fees paid to RFF.[5] The president of ARAF is Pierre Cardo.
In May 2013, the French government announced plans to reform SNCF Infra and RFF and create a single national infrastructure operator; this may lead to ARAF taking a bigger role in ensuring equal access for other train operators.[8]
