1 Sustainable Urban Mobility EU Policies European Commission

2 1. Importance of urban transport - Mobility in the cities - Citizens 75% of EU population - Enabler of economic growth and access to jobs

3 Private car issues Congestion - physical space problems Climate change impact - urban mobility = 40% of CO 2 emissions from transport Health impact - air quality (NOx, PM emissions), noise Road accidents - 40% of road fatalities are in urban areas (approx. 11,000 per year)

4 = shared responsibility (between EU and Member States) Subsidiarity principle 2. EU actions Urban mobility = basically a local responsibility local authorities should be supported in developing mobility Long tradition of EU support: 2.1 Policy framework 2.2 Funding for implementation, for research & innovation 2.3 Facilitating the exchange of experience and best practice 2.4 Awareness-raising

5 2.1 Policy framework Action Plan on Urban Mobility (2009) implemented White Paper (2011) stock-taking in 2015/ out of the 10 goals are urban: Halve the use of conventionally fuelled vehicles in urban areas by 2030, then phase them out by 2050 Achieve CO2-free city logistics in major urban centers by Urban Mobility Package (2013)

6 2.1.3 The 2013 Urban Mobility Package Calls for decisive action from the Member States Commits to reinforce EU support Exchange of experience and best practice Funding for implementation, including urban nodes on the TEN-T Funding for research & innovation Gives further help for cities to develop SUMPs Gives recommendations for coordinated action in specific areas: Urban logistics, Urban access regulations, ITS deployment in urban areas, Urban road safety

7 Member States are invited to: Assess their current urban mobility and develop an approach that ensures coordinated action at national, regional and local level Review the tools put at those authorities' disposal The Commission: Support cities in developing SUMPs To render urban mobility more efficient and sustainable proposes a SUMP concept in the ANNEX I of the U.M.P. Sets up a Platform on SUMPs to coordinate EU cooperation and provide a one-stop-shop via the ELTIS portal Supports SUMPs development and implementation, also through its financial instruments

8 Support cities in developing SUMPs Objective: A SUMP has as its central goal to improve the accessibility of urban areas and to provide highquality and sustainable mobility Content: A SUMP presents, or is linked to an existing, longterm strategy for the future development of the urban area; it includes a delivery plan for shortterm implementation of the strategy Urban development Article 7 SUMP waste, water, approach land-use, social aspects, health, climate etc.

9 Analysis: The development of a SUMP should build on a careful assessment of the present and future performance of the urban transport system Integration: Support cities in developing SUMPs A SUMP fosters a balanced development of all relevant transport modes, while encouraging a shift towards more sustainable modes; it puts forward an integrated set of technical, infrastructure, policy-based, and soft measures to improve performance and cost-effectiveness with regard to the goal and specific objectives The development and implementation of SUMP follows an integrated approach with a high level of cooperation, coordination and consultation between the different levels of government and relevant authorities

10 Support cities in developing SUMPs Transparency: A SUMP follows a transparent and participatory approach Monitoring: The implementation of a SUMP should be closely monitored Quality assurance: Local Planning Authorities should have mechanisms to ensure the quality and validate compliance of the SUMP with the requirements of the SUMP concept

European Energy Efficiency Fund Others: 10.LIFE 11.Connecting Europe Facility funds 12.Horizon European Fund for Strategic Investments 14.Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking

13 Funded by Horizon CIVITAS initiative Over : city-led demonstration projects and support projects Some 60 cities benefited from EU co-funding for testing some 700 urban mobility measures Since 2015: also knowledge-building projects

14 2.3 Exchange of experience and best practice Urban Mobility Portal ELTIS: Facilitates the exchange of knowledge and experience One stop shop for transport and related disciplines professionals Specific section about SUMPs

15 ELTIS Mobility Plans A SUMP self-assessment tool Information on support schemes by country

16 European Conference on SUMPs 12/13 April 2016, Bremen, Germany: register on

17 2.4 Awareness-raising Do The Right Mix campaign dotherightmix.eu/ Promotes transport multi-modality Includes the European Mobility Week with around 2000 local partnerships registered every year EU-award schemes European Mobility Week Award and SUMP Award - spring CIVITAS Award - autumn
