3. The starting point – transport challenges in cities
Transport provides vital functions to EU cities. But urban mobility = still mainly conventionally-fuelled passenger cars, leading to:
Congestion: estimated €110 bn lost/year in EU
Climate change impact: emissions rising + urban transport = 23% of CO2 tran. emissions
Health impact related to poor air quality = over premature deaths/year in the EU; similar for physical inactivity (+ €80.4 bn lost/year)
Road accidents: killed in 2016 in EU, including 40% in urban areas

4. Policy: 2013 Urban Mobility Package
Need for stronger cooperation between different policy levels to deliver on sustainable urban mobility
Core concept: Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs – Annex to the Communication), big role for multimodal solutions!
Commits to reinforced EU support for local action on urban mobility ( )

5. Multimodality offers the possibility to rethink how transport works or could work.
How we use processes, use modern technologies, how we can move around in a smarter way.
It allows our transport industry to tap into new opportunities created by digitalisation and new technologies.

6. Year of Multimodality – key areas
Digitalisation with focus, inter alia, on multimodal travel information and ticketing;
Use of economic incentives to promote multimodality;
Support to multimodal infrastructure and innovation, in particular in the context of the Connecting Europe Facility;
Working towards a legislative framework to protect passenger rights in multimodal journeys;
Promotion of 'active mobility' integrated with other modes in particular in an urban and smart cities context.

7. Urban Mobility: supporting cities
CIVITAS Initiative: City, Vitality and Sustainability. COM- funded Initiative since 2002 to create cleaner, better transport in cities: “Living labs” & research projects + Network of cities for cities
European Mobility Week: pan-European awareness- raising campaign culminating in Car-Free Day; over cities participated in 2017!
Platform on SUMPs (one-stop-shop portal) + Annual SUMP Conference
Partnership on Urban Mobility - EU Urban Agenda
Smart Cities and Communities

8. CIVITAS Initiative, let's meet at:
CIVITAS in 4 key points:
Living “labs” & research projects
Network of cities for cities
Public Private Partnerships
Political commitment (with the PAC)
CIVITAS Initiative, let's meet at:

9. 16-22 September every year (launched in 2002)
Pan-European campaign culminating in Car-Free Day.
Encourages European municipalities to introduce and promote behavioural change favouring sustainable modes.
2018 theme: “Multimodality"
2526 cities registered in 2017 from 50 countries worldwide
Each year, approximately permanent measures are registered

10. Exchange Of Information & Best Practice
The urban mobility observatory: facilitates the exchange of information, knowledge and experience in the field of sustainable urban mobility in Europe
Discover: case studies, EU legislation & policies
Resources: EU funding, pictures, videos
Participate: events
Mobility plans: everything related to SUMPs!
Eltis is a platform for the exchange of information, knowledge and experiences.

11. Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan
A Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan is a strategic plan designed to satisfy the mobility needs of people and businesses in cities and their surroundings for a better quality of life.
It builds on existing planning practices and takes due consideration of integration, participation, and evaluation principles.
Increasing uptake in the EU but national/regional differences; Flanders (Belgium), France, Lithuania, Norway and Catalonia (Spain) leading

12. Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan
SUMP Concept:
Annex 1 of Urban Mobility Package COM(2013) 913 final, Dec 2013
SUMP Guidelines:
based on a systematic stakeholder consultation process, published in Dec 2013
widely used in Europe and internationally
A European success story!

13. The steps of an SUMP are the following: 1
The steps of an SUMP are the following: 1. goals and objectives (for the actual, not the administrative city and surrounding), 2. long-term vision and implementation plan; 3. assessment of current and future mobility performance; 4. balanced and integrated development of all modes of transport; 5. horizontal and vertical integration; 6. Participation of relevant local actors; 7. Monitoring and reviewing; 8. Quality assurance. The Commission supports through capacity building, data and statistics, supporting partnerships and platforms, and financial support (European Structural and Investment Fund, Horizon 2020…).

14. A SUMP typically addresses the topics:
Public transport
Walking and cycling
Intermodality
Urban road safety
Road transport (flowing and stationary)
Urban logistics
Mobility management
Intelligent Transport Systems

15. It's time to strengthen and refresh the SUMPs
SUMP is at the very heart of EU urban mobility policy! But we want:
More cities to implement SUMP
SUMP to be even more relevant for citizens
To contribute better to EU goals of decarbonisation, sustainable development, health, environmental protection, etc.

16. It's time to strengthen and refresh the SUMPs
A lot has happened in the last 5 years:
practical SUMP experience from cities
valuable material from SUMP-related and other projects of relevance (such as CREATE)
new political, technological and social developments, such as: electro mobility, MaaS, CAD, ITS, active mobility, HEAT (health), urban logistics, UVARs, etc.

17. It's time to strengthen and refresh the SUMPs
Our goals in the revision of SUMP guidelines:
Support consolidation of the take-up process of SUMP
Address emerging needs from cities and Member States for further development of guidance
Coordinate development of one comprehensive 'compendium of guidelines' bearing the logo of the Commission (as owner of the process) and of the SUMP Platform

18. It's time to strengthen and refresh the SUMPs
The process:
Launched at SUMP Conference 2018
Consultation, involvement of PUM and city networks
Coordination: European Platform on SUMP + Editorial Board, European Commission and Rupprecht Consult in the lead
Finalisation: SUMP Conference 2019
