What petr du doubs central does

PETR du Doubs central is a French public territorial organisation (Pôle d'Equilibre Territorial et Rural) headquartered at the Hôtel des Services in Baume-les-Dames, Doubs. It was originally created in 1999 as a syndicate to capture compensation funding linked to the Canal du Rhône au Rhin project, evolved into the Syndicat mixte pour le Pays Doubs Central, was converted into a PETR on 1 January 2015, and merged with the SCoT syndicate on 1 April 2017 into its current form. The organisation coordinates territorial planning and rural development across an area of approximately 900 km² comprising 139 communes and nearly 39,000 inhabitants, structured around three communautés de communes: Doubs Baumois, des 2 Vallées Vertes, and Pays de Sancey-Belleherbe.

Its core activities span six service lines: (i) SCoT (Schéma de Cohérence Territoriale) territorial coherence planning, with the current scheme in force since 2016 and a revision underway; (ii) administration of the European LEADER rural development programme funded through FEADER, with active 2014-2022 and 2023-2027 programming periods; (iii) TADOU on-demand transport, including a Simpliciti-powered online reservation platform, vehicle rental, the Rougemont-Baume navette, and a carpooling service; (iv) the Contrat Local de Santé, including an IRSN radon study; (v) environmental transition via the Plan Climat Énergie Territorial and CEE schemes; and (vi) local economic development through the Filière Forêt-Bois, including the pedagogical forests school programme (5 schools, 13 classes, ~300 students in 2025-2026) and the "Biens sans maître" device. The technology stack is fundamentally administrative rather than software-product-oriented: planning documents, LEADER application workflows, the Simpliciti reservation system, and standard institutional communications (website, bulletins, social channels).

The revenue model is that of a French établissement public. Funding comes from member communauté contributions, French state and regional subsidies, and European FEADER/LEADER allocations that pass through to local project promoters. The only direct user fee is TADOU vehicle rental, with pricing on an annual cadence. Distribution runs through the Baume-les-Dames headquarters, the Simpliciti digital self-service platform, and the inter-municipal network of the three member communautés de communes. The organisation is governed by elected officials; on 11 May 2026, Alix Millet was installed as President alongside five Vice-Presidents (Thomas Vigreux, Frédéric André, Yves Brand, Clovis Roussel, Julien Boillot).
