Description

The tool kit is a set of products intended to support national and local government officials, planning practitioners, and policy makers of transitional and developing countries to design and implement a process for developing a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP). It was designed complementary to the “Guidelines for Developing and Implementing a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP)” and provides additional resources for the different phases of drafting a sustainable urban mobility plan.

Tool Outcome

The concept of Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning, as defined in the Urban Mobility Package, is based on eight commonly accepted guiding principles:
– Plan for sustainable mobility in the “functional urban area”
– Cooperate across institutional boundaries
– Involve citizens and stakeholders
– Assess current and future performance
– Define a long-term vision and a clear implementation plan
– Develop all transport modes in an integrated manner
– Arrange for monitoring and evaluation
– Assure quality

Sustainability Criteria

Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans commit to the general aims of:
– improving accessibility for all, regardless of income and social status;
– enhancing quality of life and the attractiveness of the urban environment;
– improving road safety and public health;
– reducing air and noise pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption;
– economic viability, social equity and environmental quality
