What Communauté d'Agglomération de Haguenau does

Communauté d'Agglomération de Haguenau (CAH) is a French public territorial collectivity — an Établissement public de coopération intercommunale governed by the Code général des collectivités territoriales — that coordinates shared municipal services for 36 communes in the Alsace region around Haguenau. It is led by President Claude STURNI and a Community Council, with a staff of 148 employees headquartered at 84 route de Strasbourg, 67500 Haguenau. Its statutory remit covers waste collection and recycling, potable water and sanitation, multi-modal public transport (including the Ritmo bus network celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2026, plus cycling greenways and a carpooling service), early-childhood and nursery services, urban planning and construction permitting, culture and tourism (operating the Musée Historique, Musée Alsacien, and the 65th Festival du Houblon — the largest music festival in Grand Est), and economic-development support for local businesses including management of the Zone Commerciale du Val-de-Moder.

CAH's underlying technology layer is a public administrative digital platform built around the agglo-haguenau.fr corporate website and the services.agglo-haguenau.fr "Mes Services" self-service portal, which handles waste-bin invoicing through TIPI, water-bill payments, nursery registrations, job and internship listings, and event submissions. A complementary M'HAG quarterly print magazine is distributed across all 36 communes, and an online directory indexes more than 370 sports associations across 46 categories. The portal is RGPD-compliant with a designated DPO, while the website itself is currently declared non-compliant against RGAA version 4 accessibility standards with remediation underway.

CAH's revenue mechanics are those of a French local authority rather than a commercial enterprise: funding flows from local taxation (taxe foncière, taxe d'habitation, Cotisation foncière des entreprises), state dotations, and service fees for utilities such as waste collection and water/sanitation. Pricing for citizen-facing services such as waste bins and water tariffs is administered through the Mes Services portal. CAH serves three primary segments — the residents of the 36 communes, local businesses and entrepreneurs seeking development support, and visitors to the area — and distributes services through the digital portal, the Maison des Services physical counter, the Ritmo public bus network, the Val-de-Moder commercial zone, and the Tourism Office of Pays de Haguenau.
