1. The SUMP Coordinating Group
Christof Marx, EASME
Brussels, 10th November 2016
TOWARDS A NEW CULTURE FOR URBAN MOBILITY

2. Why & What

3. The starting point
Transport provides vital functions to cities, enabling economic growth and access to jobs
At the same time, urban transport still focused on conventionally-fuelled individual car mobility, leading to:
Congestion
Climate change impact: urban transport accounts for 23% of CO2 emissions from transport
Health impact related to ambient air quality (NOx, PM emissions)
Road accidents: urban areas still account for 40% of all road fatalities (approx per year)

4. What the EU does
Transport is a shared responsibility between the EU and the Member States
The subsidiarity principle applies
Urban mobility is essentially a local responsibility; however local authorities should not be left alone
That is why there is a long tradition of EU support:
Setting the policy framework
Offering funding & financing
Facilitating the exchange of experience and best practice
Raising awareness

5. The 2013 Urban Mobility Package http://ec. europa
Calls for action from the Member States
Commits to reinforce EU support
Gives help for cities to develop Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans
Gives recommendations for coordinated action in: Urban logistics, Urban access regulations, ITS deployment in urban areas, Urban road safety
Sets out the concept of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan to support a new approach to mobility planning
Commits to setting up a Platform on SUMPs to coordinate EU action and provide a one-stop-shop portal
