Popis: Like other rural regions with low population density, the RCM Le Domaine-du-Roy, located in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, also struggling with population aging since the 2000s. Because it helps elderly to remain in their collectivity, collective transportation is identified as one of the solutions for active aging. For a better understanding of the elders needs for transportation, a living lab (LL) took place in the RCM and assemble all the speakers concerned by the subject. If the effectiveness of the LL is globally recognized by authors, the evaluation of this kind of mobilization by the participant is still to be done. The objective of the present article is to evaluate the relevant of the LL methodology in regard of the efficiency of the method to implement local public services and to promote territorial development. The results pointed out a real contribution of this kind of method for the RCM development. However, a number of questions remain, specifically on the potential for speakers’ empowerment in the public transport governance in the RCM Le Domaine-du-Roy.
