The Quebec Ministry of Transport produced a report in 1999 which analyzed the Lanaudière region's transport problems. This report overwhelmingly favoured a public transportation service managed within the region instead of the integration of existing public transit in L'Assomption and Les Moulins with either of the large Montreal (STM) or Laval (STL) systems. The result of this was the creation of the Conseil régional de transport Lanaudière in 2002, under the management of the six regional county municipalities of D'Autray, Joliette, L'Assomption, Matawinie, Montcalm and Les Moulins, with additional transit user representation on the board. This also required each MRC to manage operations in their territory, with a structure which may vary depending on different local needs. In June 2017, Quebec Ministry of Transport approved the law 76, which modified the transport gouvernance of transport entities in the Metropolitan Region of Montréal. The Administration of the CRTL was transferred to the MRC de Joliette – Division Transport, as well as the CTJM (Corporation de Transport Joliette-Métropolitain) and the TAJM (Transport Adapté Joliette-Mértopolitain) got implemented into the MRC de Joliette's transport division the same date.
