18 October 2005 : supported by the Region, the transport and logistics sector professionals joined forces under the umbrella of the APTL (association of transport and logistics professionals in the Languedoc-Roussillon).

End 2005 : the Region financed a study by the Banque de France to evaluate the economic and financial situation of businesses in the sector.

Boosted by the reassuring findings of the study conducted in 2005, the Region launched the idea of the network contract. After a stage of evaluation and meetings that underscored the urgent need to restructure the network, step up commercial development and improvements to productivity, and develop intermodal solutions, 4 working groups were set up which rapidly defined the network’s underlying objectives.

The APTL took part in the Public Debate on "Transport policy in the Rhone valley and the Languedoc area" and drew up a directory of industry players.
