Lift outages in Paris

Transit lift and escalator status across the Paris region is published by Île-de-France Mobilités (IDFM) through its open data portal. RATP-operated Metro and bus stations and SNCF-operated RER and Transilien stations both feed availability data into IDFM's accessibility dataset. France's broad accessibility duty derives from the loi handicap of 11 February 2005 (loi n° 2005-102), which established the right of disabled persons to full participation in public life and set accessibility obligations for transport infrastructure and public buildings.

For residential and commercial lifts, French building regulations set maintenance requirements, and syndics de copropriété (building management committees) are responsible for keeping shared lifts operational. Lift outages at IDFM-covered transit stations are added to the public record here as they appear on the agency feed; outages in other buildings are added as riders and building staff submit them.

How to report a broken lift in Paris

  • Transit stations (Metro, RER, Transilien): report through RATP customer services or SNCF's accessibility line, or submit directly via the IDFM open data portal
  • Residential buildings (copropriété): contact your syndic de copropriété
  • Social housing (HLM): contact your bailleur social or the local mairie
  • Any building, public record: file an outage on Elevator Uptime in 15 seconds
