The consortium administrations are the Generalitat de Catalunya (51%) and local administrations (49%), which are Barcelona City Council, the Barcelona Metropolitan Area (AMB) and the Association of Municipalities for Mobility and Urban Transport. (AMTU). It is worth noting the presence of representatives of the General State Administration (AGE) in the governing bodies of the ATM, as observers.
The purpose of the ATM is to articulate the cooperation between the public administrations in charge of the services and infrastructures of the collective public transport of the Barcelona area that form part of it, as well as the collaboration with the administrations that, like now the State Administration, are committed to it from a financial point of view or are owners of their own services or not transferred.
