In addition, there are now some local small businesses. In the meantime, the village has also turned into a residential community. Many workers are therefore commuters who go to work in the Besançon agglomeration.
The village is well developed in terms of traffic. It is located on a departmental road that leads from Besançon to Audeux. The closest connection to the A36 motorway , which crosses the municipality, is about five kilometers away. Another road connection is with Pelousey.
