1. Technical Training Workshop,
Training Module extra: The difference between Traditional urban transport planning and Sustainable Urban Transport Planning
Technical Training Workshop,
Sofia, 4 May 2012
Presentation prepared by Frank Wefering and Sebastian Bührmann (both Rupprecht Consult) and Ivo Cré, Polis

2. From the State of the Art report
Bulgaria features in the category of countries ‘which still have to adopt SUMP’
Planning = planning of infrastructure
No knowledge about SUMP, no technical capacity, no political support

3. From the SoAR (II) Barriers Car orientation
Lack of knowledge and resources
Lack of defined responsibilities and priorities
No public pressure, no political commitment
No perceived added-value over conventional transport plans

4. SUMP - an effective tool to achieve your objectives
Older style transport planning
Which scheme do we want to build?
SUMP:
What do we want to achieve?
What’s the best way to achieve it?
Do we really need to build anything?
Who do we consult?
How do we measure impacts?
With SUMP – more likely to achieve what we want
SUMP gives reasons for actions – easier to defend

5. Traditional urban transport planning
Sustainable urban mobility planning
Focus on traffic 
Focus on people
Key goal: traffic flow capacity and speed
Key goal: accessibility and quality of life
Domain of transport engineers
Interdisciplinary; integration of complementary sectors
Infrastructure is the key issue
Infrastructure only one way to achieve wider goals
Investment-intensive planning
Cost-efficient planning
Focus on large and costly projects
Focus on efficient and gradual improvements
Project planning
Strategic and goal-oriented planning
Mono-modal
Multi- and intermodal
Transport projects without strategic assessment
Strategic assessment of options considering set goals
Meeting transport demand
Transport demand management
Non-transparent decision-making
Transparent decision-making that includes the public

6. Group discussions
Force field analysis: what are barriers and drivers to make the arrows in the previous slide work? 
