## Working on now

- Operate and improve public transport for Agglopolys/Blois: 8 principal lines, free electric city shuttles, school and demand-responsive services, and Handigo accessible transport.
- Expand flexible mobility: RESAGO zone 3 has been running a more agile reservation model since 1 September 2026.
- Electrification and predictive maintenance: SOH Fleet is deployed on six Azalys electric buses; the project reports a target of +20% battery life and -20% vehicle-maintenance costs.
- Modernize passenger and operator information: Hubup Geolite now covers 55 periurban and school lines operated by Keolis Blois and subcontractors, providing real-time information.
- Prepare/announce low-emission trials: a hydrogen minibus developed with Phinia is reported as intended for real-world Azalys testing by the end of 2026; this is secondary-source reporting and should be treated as planned, not confirmed deployment.
- Support local customers and events through dedicated service: free ADA Blois Basket match shuttles and free Rendez-vous de l'Histoire 2026 event shuttles.

## Summary
