Railway regional passenger transport is experiencing since 1970 in France and Italy but also in the main European countries a decline in modal split facing car mobility. To inverse this trend, the regionalization of railway regional passenger transport is today implemented in France and Italy. This reform is still in both countries in process and will have some impacts on the regional service by opening the field to service's contracts between transport authorities and operators (only the national operator SNCF in France is allowed). In this paper, we will analyze the framework of regional railway passenger in France and Italy.
