Communauté de communes de l'Oisans

What Communauté de communes de l'Oisans does

The Communauté de communes de l'Oisans (CC Oisans, CCO) is a French public intercommunal authority (Établissement public de coopération intercommunale — EPCI) created in 2009 under the Code général des collectivités territoriales, headquartered at 1 bis rue Humbert, Le Bourg-d'Oisans, in the Isère department of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. It coordinates public services across 19 member communes serving approximately 11,000 permanent residents and a much larger seasonal population concentrated around the Alpe d'Huez and Les Deux Alpes ski resorts. Its service portfolio spans waste management and recycling, early-childhood and youth services (multi-accueil, parenting programs, youth animation), cultural programming through an intercommunal library network and music school, sexual and family health, urban planning and building permits, economic development (business creation support, coworking space, seasonal employment assistance), sustainable mobility (four free shuttle lines and greenway infrastructure), and energy renovation subsidies.

CC Oisans is governed by a President (Guy Verney) and Vice-Presidents, with 44 elected community delegates representing the 19 communes; it operates two wholly-owned operating arms — the Centre Intercommunal d'Action Sociale (CIAS) for social action and the Syndicat d'Assainissement du Canton de l'Oisans (SACO) for sanitation — alongside a ~120-agent staff base (per one firmographics source). Its revenue model is non-commercial: the entity is funded by local taxes (taxe foncière, cotisation foncière des entreprises, taxe d'habitation), grants from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region, the Isère Department, the French State, and the European Union (notably LEADER), and a network of 20+ institutional partners. Core digital assets are limited to the ccoisans.fr portal, the Cadastre solaire de l'Oisans (a solar potential calculator built with AGEDEN), and standard third-party integrations (Google Maps, YouTube, social platforms). There is no public revenue disclosure, no commercial pricing, and no traditional go-to-market motion — service delivery is direct-to-citizen and free at point of use.

Strategic priorities are codified in two long-horizon frameworks: the SCoT Oisans 2040 territorial coherence scheme (public inquiry June–July 2025) and the Plan Climat Air Energie Territorial (PCAET), with execution evidenced by €100,000 in energy renovation aid for condominiums (2023), the new Navette Vénéon shuttle (2024), the Voie Verte cycle path extension (2024), and the July 2025 inauguration of four territorial entry gates. Commercial products launched include the Cadastre solaire tool (March 2022), secure bicycle storage at 3 sites (July 2023), and the Energie co-ownership renovation program (July 2023). The Conseil communautaire d'installation scheduled for April 16, 2026 will reset the political leadership cycle for the 2026–2032 term.
