How can we ensure that the growth of urban populations in European cities doesn’t lead to increased traffic, congestion, and pollution? The solution lies within mobility management, which offers adaptable strategies to promote sustainable transportation in diverse local contexts.

Both Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) and mobility management share the common goal of encouraging the use of eco-friendly transportation methods. Mobility management measures are integral components of any comprehensive SUMP.

To support urban planners and transportation practitioners in this process, the third Policy Support Group of the CIVITAS ELEVATE Coordination and Support Action has produced a Topic Guide on the Integration of Mobility Management for both Public and Private Organizations into SUMPs. This group includes experts from five organizations: European Platform on Mobility Management, Klimaaktiv mobil, Tisséo Collectivités, Alba Iulia Municipality, and Gdansk Municipality. It also involves the CIVITAS Policy Advisory Committee, TRT (Trasporti e Territorio), and stakeholders from the mobility management sector.

Within the SUMP Topic Guide, a set of key recommendations is presented, accompanied by diverse examples of successful practices from across Europe. These examples underscore the advantages of effectively incorporating mobility management for both public and private entities into SUMPs across five critical domains: urban development, governmental bodies, businesses, education institutions, as well as the tourism and recreation sectors.

The Topic Guide is an integral part of a compendium of EU guidance materials, complementing the revised second edition of the SUMP Guidelines.
