TER Franche Comté is the regional rail network serving the Franche Comté région, France.

Since the convention signed in 2002 for a duration of 5 years, between Jean-François Humbert, then president of the Regional council of Franche-Comté and Noël Belin, then regional directeur of the SNCF, the regional council of Franche Comté is the organising authority of regional transports. A new agreement, signed on the 21^st December 2006, by Raymond Forni, president of the Conseil Régional de Franche-Comté and Josiane Beaud, regional directeur of the SNCF, en présence d'Anne-Marie Idrac, présidente de la SNCF, couvre la période 2007-2012.

• The axes Dijon-Dole-Besançon and Besançon-Montbéliard-Belfort: these to axes form in reality only one, called the axe Saône-Doubs. It constitutes the backbone of trips in Franche-Comté with 60% of the passengers and 60% of the Gross profit. It's along this axe that pass highwayss, canals and railways.
• Axe of the Revermont : Besançon-Lons-le-Saunier-Bourg-en-Bresse. Second axe by its importance, it is for a large part a single track (between Saint-Amour and Mouchard).
• Besançon-Morteau-La Chaux-de-Fonds : this line has been certified by french normes in 2005. The exploitation of this line is done with SNCF Class X 73500 and SNCF Class X 2800, though occasionally harnessed to SNCF Class XR 6200.
