The owner of the Cable Car: the GLCT
The GLCT (Local Group of trans-frontier cooperation) was created on 15th March 2006, by the District Bylaw n° 2006.549. This organisation allows the creation of a new legal base more suitable to the trans-frontier cooperation necessary to manage the Salève cable car. Its aim is to manage the operations of the lift service of the Salève cable car. For this, it: - Assumes the whole of the obligations of an owner for the property and buildings put under its responsibility to exercise its job, - Organises the lift service (periods and amplitude of functioning, frequency and times of the services), - Chooses the day-to-day running of the installations (the management contract, competitive marketing, the financial aspects and the control), - Fixes the tariff structure, the information details and the advertising, - Puts into act all actions aimed at developing the use of and the attractiveness of the lifts, - Coordinates the day-to-day running with the appropriate authorities of the other public transport systems.
The GLCT has a president (M. Maurice GIACOMINI), a vice-president (M.Robert CRAMER), a board and an assembly made up of people representing:
 | The Republic and the Canton of Geneva |
 | The Commune of Monnetier-Mornex |
 | Annemasse Agglo, the Community of communes of the Annemasse Annemasseienne |
