The project aims to improve the technical and policy expertise of urban transport planners regarding Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) and facilitate their implementation at city or regional levels. It targets local training for TEN-T urban nodes, Mission cities, and small/medium-sized EU cities, alongside capacity-building workshops to assist in establishing National SUMP support programmes (NSSPs) at the national/regional levels. This initiative is crucial for implementing the Commission Recommendation on NSSPs, bridging capacity gaps in smaller cities, and ensuring national engagement and support. The primary goal of the project is to enhance the expertise of urban and regional transport planners, as well as newcomers, focusing on SUMPs and offering centralized support for their implementation at the local and regional levels. The project entails a comprehensive program encompassing more than 20 training sessions and workshops.

 

UIRS's role: Cooperation in preparation of the SUMP modules and training material. Provision of support and material in NSSP workshops.
