Communauté d'agglomération de l'Auxerrois

What Communauté d'agglomération de l'Auxerrois does

The Communauté d'agglomération de l'Auxerrois is a French public inter-municipal cooperation institution (Établissement public de coopération intercommunale, EPCI) created in 2011, coordinating public services across 29 communes in the Yonne department of Burgundy-Franche-Comté. Its territory covers approximately 69,500–71,700 inhabitants and includes Auxerre as its urban center, with the CA being the largest communauté d'agglomération in the Yonne and coordinator of the PETR du Grand Auxerrois spanning 8 intercommunalities. The institution delivers a comprehensive portfolio of municipal services: multi-modal sustainable mobility under the AuxR_M brand (100% decarbonised bus network from September 2024, 420 electric bikes at 56 stations operated by partner Fifteen, subsidised Karos-based carpooling), waste management with a ~7 million EUR annual budget across 6 déchèteries, urban planning via the GNAU digital permit portal serving 24 communes, housing and renovation services, environmental programs (PCAET climate plan approved June 2024, solar cadastre with SDEY, Atlas de la Biodiversité 2026-2028), economic development (AuxR_Parc, ZAE), and cultural heritage (Pays d'art et d'histoire label since 2020). Urban renewal is conducted under the Contrat de Ville 2024-2030 targeting priority neighbourhoods (Sainte Geneviève, Brichères, Les Rosoirs, Rive Droite).

The CA Auxerrois operates a tax-and-grant revenue model rather than a commercial one. Its funding is anchored by the Taxe d'Enlèvement des Ordures Ménagères (TEOM), which covers approximately 80% of the ~7 million EUR annual waste management budget, and the Contribution Économique Territoriale (CET) business tax, supplemented by Eco-emballages producer-responsibility support, sale of recyclable materials, and direct service fees for mobility and ancillary services. It has secured 3,232,100 EUR in FEDER European Regional Development funding via the Région Bourgogne-Franche-Comté for sustainable mobility, tourism, heritage, urban green infrastructure, and renewal projects. Governance is exercised through the conseil communautaire under President Mathieu Debain, with 12 vice-presidents and additional delegated councillors covering finance, environment, mobility, urban policy, housing, water, tourism, and other functional domains.

Revenue model

1. Taxe d'Enlèvement des Ordures Ménagères (TEOM): The primary revenue source for waste management (covering ~80% of the ~7 million EUR annual waste management budget) is the Taxe d'Enlèvement des Ordures Ménagères, a property-based tax paid by households.
2. Eco-emballages support: Approximately 10% of waste management costs are covered by Eco-emballages, a producer responsibility organisation that provides financial support based on tonnage recycled.
3. Sale of recyclable materials: Revenue from the resale of compacted recyclable materials (packaging, glass, metals) to manufacturers. Represents approximately 10% of waste management financing alongside fines and other sources.
4. FEDER European funding: The CA Auxerrois received a FEDER (Fonds Européen de Développement Régional) allocation of 3,232,100 euros for projects in sustainable urban mobility, sustainable tourism, heritage and culture, urban green infrastructure, and urban renewal, under the Regional programme launched September 2022.
5. Business rates / Contribution Economique Territoriale (CET): As an communauté d'agglomération, the CA Auxerrois collects the Contribution Economique Territoriale (CET), which replaced part of the former taxe professionnelle, entirely redistributed to member communes according to agreed modalities.

Broad incumbents

• Grenoble-Alpes-Métropole: Métropole in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes widely cited as a leader in low-carbon mobility (cyclable, TAG bus/tram, carpool) and ambitious PCAET climate policy. Functionally comparable to CA Auxerrois' mobility-and-climate positioning but at significantly larger scale and budget.
• Bordeaux Métropole: Large Métropole in Nouvelle-Aquitaine with extensive mobility (TBM bus/tram, bike-share, carpool), waste, and environmental services. Comparable competency set but materially larger scale; serves as an upper-bound reference for what a fully scaled French agglomeration mobility and climate stack can deliver.
• Strasbourg Eurométropole: Eurométropole in Grand Est operating an integrated multi-modal mobility stack (CTS tram/bus, Vélhop bike-share, carpool), ambitious PCAET, and large-scale FEDER-funded urban renewal. Comparable competency breadth but materially larger in population, budget, and European funding capture.
• Nantes Métropole: Large Métropole in Pays de la Loire with a high-profile multi-modal mobility stack (Naolib bus, tram, bike, carpool), comprehensive waste management, and a well-developed PCAET and biodiversity strategy. Comparable functional scope, though at materially larger scale than the CA Auxerrois.

Direct peers

• Dijon Métropole: Communauté d'agglomération and Métropole in the Côte-d'Or department of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, ~150 km from Auxerre. Same regional administration, same FEDER funding pool, and overlapping competencies (mobility, waste, urban planning, economic development) make it the closest functional peer for the CA Auxerrois.
• Tours Métropole Val de Loire: Métropole in Centre-Val de Loire comparable in agglomeration size and competencies (urban transport, waste, urban planning, economic development). Peer relevance is high given similar Loire-valley context, apprenticeship/training ecosystem, and reliance on FEDER regional programming.
• Chalon-sur-Saône agglomeration (Grand Chalon): Communauté d'agglomération in Saône-et-Loire (Bourgogne-Franche-Comté), the closest departmental neighbour of Yonne. Operates similar mobility, waste, and economic development services for a comparable population, and competes with Auxerrois for regional training and investment attractiveness.
• Orléans Métropole: Communauté d'agglomération / Métropole in the Centre-Val de Loire region, ~170 km from Auxerre. Similar mid-sized agglomeration structure, mobility services (bus, bike, carpool), waste management, and economic development mission, with which Auxerrois shares the strategic Paris-Lyon/Orléans axis positioning.
• Bourg-en-Bresse Communauté d'Agglomération: Mid-sized communauté d'agglomération in the Ain department of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Comparable in scale (~75,000 inhabitants), competencies (mobility, waste, environmental services), and the challenge of serving a mid-sized urban centre with surrounding rural communes, making it a structurally similar peer.

Others

• ADEME (Agence de la transition écologique): French national ecological-transition agency that co-funds and advises EPCIs on PCAET execution, waste reduction, and mobility decarbonisation. Not a competing agglomeration but a critical funder/advisor peer in the same ecosystem and a determinant of CA Auxerrois' ability to finance its 6-year climate plan.
