What Departmental Council of Haute-Garonne does

The Departmental Council of Haute-Garonne (Conseil Départemental de la Haute-Garonne, CD31) is a French local public authority governing the Haute-Garonne department in the Occitanie region, headquartered in Toulouse with a secondary antenna in Saint-Gaudens. It discharges statutory responsibilities across six policy areas — Solidarités (social services), Aménagement du Territoire (territorial development), Bifurcation Écologique (ecological transition), Éducation et Jeunesses (education and youth), Cultures/Sport/Tourisme, and Valeurs Républicaines et Citoyenneté — serving all residents of the department, with particular focus on vulnerable populations, youth, and communes/intercommunalities through subsidies and project support.

Its service portfolio combines physical infrastructure (140 km Réseau Express Vélo cycling network, departmental roads, 50+ colleges, Maisons des Solidarités social-service centers) with a digital stack including an Open Data portal powered by OpenDataSoft (data.haute-garonne.fr), a public-procurement platform (haute-glemagne.marches-publics.info), the eCollege31 educational platform, and an interactive territorial map (carte.haute-garonne.fr). Core web technologies are HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, ARIA, and SVG, with integrations to Wemap (mapping), TarteAuCitron (cookie consent), YouTube (video), OpenDataSoft (data), and hosting by Systonic. The council operates under French public law, funded through departmental taxation and state transfers rather than commercial revenue, with services to citizens provided free of charge.

Strategic priorities for 2024-2030 center on the Ecological Transition Roadmap (2025-2030) and Digital Roadmap (2024-2028, 39 projects), supported by a 23-member scientific council installed in 2026 and an SPASER-integrated Public Procurement Charter (2024-2028) that mandates social and environmental criteria — 55% of contracts over €90K HT in 2025 carried social clauses, with 326 contracts totaling €171M HT launched that year.
