Demand-responsive transport
From a report about the legal aspects of demand-responsive transport and the use of transport vehicles with drivers.
Context:
"La distinction TAD [demand-responsive transport]/ services privés de transport est difficile.
Le décret de 1985 prévoit que les services publics réguliers et les services publics à la demande de transport routier de personnes peuvent être organisés en faveur de catégories particulières d’usagers.
Le service organisé par une collectivité peut être considéré comme transport à la demande s'il est ouvert à une catégorie particulière d'usagers mais sans distinction entre **administrés** et **non administrés**.
En revanche, il est retenu la qualification de transports privés lorsque ce service est réservé aux seuls administrés du ressort de la collectivité.

Selected
person coming under the responsibility of that local authority
A bit long-winded, but that is what it means. Alternatively: person for whom that local authority is responsible.
For example, I am not a French citizen, but I pay French local taxes, have the right to vote in French local elections and am, therefore, an "administrée" and the local authority would provide me with e.g. social services support if I needed it.

Thanks Daryo. It might be, but I'm not sure whether there might not be some exceptions, e.g. prison inmates, minors, hospital patients etc., or people temporarily residing elsewhere.

: Yes. WOuldn't it come in handy if the term "adminstratee" existed?

Thanks Nikki. I think I'd prefer "administree", except for the fact that I'd rather not be administered. When I worked for local authority housing, we were having the word "customers" imposed on us instead of "tenants" or social services' "clients".

citizen (from the local authority area)
"les administrés de la collectivité (locale)" are the people living in the area managed by the local authority (be it a "commune", a "canton", a "departement"... whatever)

: Not the same as citizenship. I'm not a French citizen, but I am an administrée of my commune. Somebody born in my commune but living elsewhere would not be an "administré" of this commune.

: you got yourself there on a very slippery slope - what about residents that are citizens of some other state? not to forget the stateless, if you want to make it really complicated ...

: probably yes, but not necessarily. Really depending on the context. They have choosen the word "administrés" not "residents/habitants" that is not by accident...

administré [administʀe]
adj [prix, taux] → set by the government

http://fr.thefreedictionary.com/administré
administré nm (qqn géré par une collectivité) citizen
http://www.wordreference.com/fren/administré
citizen :
- An inhabitant of a particular town or city: "the good citizens of Edinburgh" (Oxford Dict.)
- 2. A resident of a city or town, especially one entitled to vote and enjoy other privileges there.

So if the closest version is "person coming under the responsibility of that local authority" so be it. I am surprised there is nothing shorter for such a common situation.
I wrote "probably yes". However in some cases you might have to be French, or EU citizen, or pay taxes to the local authority.... etc.
If the writer picks up "administé" and not "resident", 'habitant" there is a meaning to it.
In most of the cases it will be the people leaving in the area (although that might vary)
