Project summary BUMP helps local authorities develop their SUMPs through training, coaching, mutual learning, networking Pillars:  building capacity in LAs;  mutual learning and sharing of expertise among high-ranking officers and directors working for the LAs involved in the project, their peers from other LAs and stakeholders;  easily replicable BUMP model using existing materials from the ELTIS platform;  international and national networking to boost sustainable urban mobility.

Background Congestion, pollution, noise, land use issues, inadequate public transport systems, vehicle speed decline are a reality of a vast majority of European cities. Transport and mobility are becoming key policy concerns for local authorities often ill-prepared for the challenge. BUMP offers a fresh approach, with integrated, strategic multi-sector and multi-level planning. Among the most significant drivers for the problem:  insufficient political commitment, policy coordination and long-term political planning;  insufficient incentives for consumers;  insufficiently developed markets for energy efficiency improvements;  low awareness of energy saving opportunities;  cultural barriers, mistrust of new technologies and lack of willingness to adopt EE solutions BUMP’s way to implement sustainable mobility goes through comprehensive, structured support, insisting on capacity building, coaching, mutual learning and exchange of expertise, know-how and best practices at a national and international level.

Objectives and main steps 3-stage implementation:  definition of the model and national adaptations;  training (capacity building, exchange of expertise, mutual learning);  coaching to help LAs develop their SUMPs. Specific Objectives:  reducing transport-related energy consumption and environmental impact  building capacity inside local authorities to develop and keep updated SUMPs  promoting mutual learning and sharing of expertise among officers and directors working for the local authorities involved in the project, building upon existing materials and models developed by the EU’s ELTIS platform.  spurring 50 local authorities to join the CIVITAS network and contribute to a wider dissemination of the results achieved and further mutual learning among the members of the network. Strengths:  international networks (ICLEI; REC; EPOMM PLUS; Cities for Mobility; CIVITAS);  support by 40 local and regional authorities, consortia and associations of LAs;  focus on the specific requirements of the target groups to customize the training and coaching model.
