Abstract: Several legal, economic, political and human factors converge in the elaboration of departmental public transport policies. Thirst, a certain flexibility of the legal framework gives the departmental authorities a rather important freedom of decision making. The departmental authorities are in charge of the public transport organization. Therefore, they must negotiate with its different partners. Moreover their intervention is limited by the potentialities of the interurban transport market and by transporters strategies. At last it is directed by several objectives; most of them rather are constraints than real political choices. The decision making depends on the organizational means the representatives dispose of. To conclude these factors explain the worrying disparities which are characterizing the carrying out of policies.
