Sustainable mobility –
the challenges
• Mobility is closely connected with other important topics
– Climate change
– Scarcity of resources / Dependency on resource suppliers
– Environmental quality
– Urban growth / Demographic change
– Change through new media
– Economic growth
– Financial instability
– Social justice / Participation in community life / Accessibility
• How can we deal with uncertainties and risks?
• How can we reach consensus about goals and means to achieve them?
• How can we communicate complex problems / How trustworthy is
politics?

The biggest challenge:
Climate change
• Climate-related goals in Europe:
– max. 2° temperature increase
– min. 80% reduction of CO2-emissions until 2050
(compared to 1990; better -95%)
– Transport: 20% reduction of greenhouse gas
emissions (2008 – 2030)
• This implies in concrete terms:
– 1 ton CO2 quota per capita and year
(instead of 10 tons today)

Porto Alegre, 25 November 2013
Reaching climate goals
implies in practice
• Example: -80%-CO2-Szenario for Wuppertal,
Germany
– Avoid transport (“the compact city“)
• Reduce transport by 4%
– Make transport more efficient (vehicle technology)
• reduce CO2-emissions to 1/3
– Modal shift to more sustainable tranbsport modeswalking 32% => 32%
cycling 1% => 10%
bus& train 16% => 32%
car 51% => 26%

Which solutions
are being discussed
in the European Union?
Development of a SUMP – European Experiences
Porto Alegre, 25 November 2013
Strategies discussed in the
EU Transport White Paper
• Goal: the intelligent (“smart“), CO2-reduced city
– Halve the use of ‘conventionally-fuelled’ vehicles in
urban transport by 2030; phase them out in cities by
2050
– CO2-free city logistics in major urban centres (2030)
– Harmonisation of multimodal information- and
payment systems (public transport & urban tolls)
– Elimination of market distortions: “user pays“/
“polluter pays“ principle to finance transport investments
– Increase traffic safety (“near zero fatalities“ 2050)
Development of a SUMP – European Experiences
Porto Alegre, 25 November 2013
SUMPs in the
EU Transport White Paper (2011)
• to "establish procedures and financial support mechanisms" at
European level for preparing Urban Mobility Audits and Urban
Mobility Plans;
• to "examine the possibility of a mandatory approach for cities of a
certain size, according to national standards based on EU
guidelines";
• to link regional development and cohesion funds to cities and
regions that have submitted a current, and independently validated
Urban Mobility Performance and Sustainability Audit certificate;
• to consider the establishment "of a European support framework
for a progressive implementation of Urban Mobility Plans in
European cities."

The concept of Sustainable
Urban Mobility Plans is a crucial
element of the European climate
change and transport policy

What is a
Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan?
Development of a SUMP – European Experiences
Porto Alegre, 25 November 2013
A Sustainable Urban
Mobility Plan (SUMP) 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.”

Porto Alegre, 25 November 2013
How was SUMP developed
• European exploratory projects since 2004
• Knowledge consolidation, awareness
raising and training on SUMP in 31
European countries (ELTISplus, 2010 - 2013)
• State-of-the-Art Report on SUMP in Europe
• Guidelines. Developing and Implementing a
Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan
• Based on broad practitioner input from all
over Europe
– 49 interviews with stakeholders/ 26 countries
– online survey, expert consultations
– workshops with 168 experts/ 26 countries
• www.mobilityplans.eu

Characteristics of sustainable
urban mobility planning
• A long-term vision and a clear implementation plan
• A participatory approach that involves citizens and stakeholders
from the outset and throughout the planning process
• A balanced and integrated development of all transport modes
• An integrated approach that considers practices and policies of
different policy sectors, authority levels, and neighbouring
authorities
• An assessment of current and future performance
• Monitoring, review and reporting
• Ambition to internalise external costs for all transport modes

Looking ‘beyond the borders’
• Joint Local Transport Plan for the West of England
� cooperation of four councils
• Works alongside local enterprise partnership, core strategies and
local strategic partnerships of the four councils and with partners in
the bus industry and through memoranda of understanding with the
highways agency, health sector, network rail and train operators.

SUMP Aims and Scope
Creation of a sustainable urban transport system by:
•Ensuring the accessibility of jobs and services to all
•Improving safety and security
•Reducing pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption
•Increasing the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the transportation of persons and
goods
•Enhancing the attractiveness and quality of the urban environment
Policies and measures should address:
•All modes and forms of transport
•Entire urban agglomeration
•Public and private
•Passenger and freight
•Motorised and non-motorised
•Moving and parking

The SUMP planning cycle
• A full SUMP cycle includes four main phases:
I: Preparing well for the planning process
II: Rational and transparent goal setting
III: Elaborating the plan
IV: Implementing the plan
• SUMP Guidelines developed in ELTISplus:
���� 11 Elements (= main steps) and
� 32 Activities (= detailing specific tasks)
• Elements and activities provide a logical rather than a sequential
structure – obvious timing requirements, but process resembles cycle of
activities, partially running in parallel
• It is a framework for the development and ratification of an SUMP
