- 22 September 2010: Jean-Paul Huchon, then-leader of STIF, presents the future lines of the network when he visits a Line 1 construction site:
- 4 October 2010: The STIF approves the financing agreement for studies and consultation on constructing T Zen Lines 3 and 4
- 2 May to 11 June 2011: A public consultation is held about the construction of Line 3;

The plans for the Garges-lès-Gonesse - Villepinte and Saclay - Massy routes were abandoned in exchange for a new route running from the 13th arrondissement of Paris at Bibliothèque nationale de France to Les Ardoines and Choisy-le-Roi. Other branches and sections were also studied to enhance the T Zen network, including branches recommended in an Île-de-France report known as the Plan de Mobilisation.
