About CIVITAS PROSPERITY Supporting local and national authorities to improve the quality and uptake of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans CIVITAS PROSPERITY is a 3-year project, started in September 2016 and supported by the European Commission within the H2020 programme. It aims to enable and create a culture shift in government agencies and local authorities to support Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs). The project focuses on promoting and supporting a broad take-up of SUMPs especially in countries / regions and cities where the take up is so far so low. It aims to achieve this through: providing mechanisms and tools for national / regional agencies to take a leading role in the development of SUMPs; building professional capacity through peer-to-peer exchange programmes and tailor made training programmes on various aspects of SUMPs and/or innovative approaches in sustainable urban mobility.

1 Executive Summary

This document summarises the communication, dissemination and exploitation activities of the PROSPERITY project which took place between 09/2016 and 08/2019. The activities were carried out by project countries – national focal points (NFPs) and project cities within work package (WP) 6: Communication, Dissemination and Exploitation. Beside that the document also summarises activities done under other WPs, primarily:  WP3: Policy and SUMP programmes; in sections Financing and Legislative framework  WP4: Capacity Building; in sections describing coaching and training activities  WP5: Monitoring, Evaluation and Quality Assurance; outputs are used in sections describing National Task Force (NTF) and main outcomes of the project National Task Force groups established during the PROSPERITY project in all project countries were found in most of the countries as one of essential elements which contributed to reaching objectives of WP6. NTF consists of representatives of responsible ministries and higher level of governments (HGL) and other partners active in SUMP topics. NFPs committed to continue the work of NTF even beyond the PROSPERITY project because the NTF concept seemed to be very successful. Task Forces were in most of countries steering the process of National SUMP Supporting Programme development, resp. in 11 of 14 countries the Preparation of National SUMP Programme was the main item at the agenda of NTF meetings. The SUMP Programmes are another important output of the project, this reports cites their outputs in chapters Legislative and Financing. Coaching events and training events were organised in 10 of 14 project countries that presented the main focus of PROSPERITY, i.e. those states where take-up of SUMP has been low. 179 cities and 334 persons were trained during multi-day training events. 30 coaching events were prepared in 10 project countries, the most popular topics were ‘Communication and Stakeholder Involvement’ and ‘Defining targets; Selecting measures and implementing measures in SUMP’. Although PROSPERITY came with many activities which were very successful and well appreciated by NFPs and project countries, e.g. concept of NTF and National SUMP Supporting Programmes discussed in detail in text below, there were also things which did not work regardless the effort of project partners. The barriers which limited impact of several PROSPERITY activities differs a lot from country to country, e.g. in CZ, SI, LT and HU the lack of capacities of stakeholders reduced the impact of PROSPERITY events.

2 Introduction Promotion of SUMPs at national level was one of the PROSPERITY objectives and a key activity for National Focal Points (NFPs) in project countries. In most of them the SUMP promotion started during previous ENDURANCE project which created national SUMP networks, and activated cities to start with SUMP. It has to be mentioned that two PROSPERITY countries, Cyprus and Croatia, did not take part in the ENDURANCE project. The SUMP Promotion Programme includes activities, progress and milestones of the NTFs, national meetings and training events (WP3 and WP4) and awareness raising activities. It also provides information on transfer of national frame conditions (legislation) and funding opportunities. This includes consideration of advantages and disadvantages of mandatory concepts/parts or directives. Data was collected through different ways: - online forms where NFPs filled in their activities in: o National SUMP promo events o National Task Force meetings o Third party events o National SUMP networks o NTF structure and its members o Dissemination actiivities - outputs of WP3 (Policy and SUMP programmes), particularly National SUMP supporting programmes; used in sections Financing and Legislative framework. - outputs of WP4 (Capacity building), particularly training events and coaching events - outputs of WP5 (Evaluation, monitoring and quality assurance), particularly results of M&E surveys and deliverable D5.3 Spain was in the PROSPERITY project represented by Catalonian region so information relating to Spain refers only to Catalonia.

3 National SUMP Promotional Programmes This chapter provides an overview of main achievements that make up the SUMP Promo Programme. A basic overview is given in the text, more detailed and country-related information is provided in Annexes of this report. 3.1 National Task Force The National Task Force (NTF) is the higher level ‘body’ that is committed to prepare the ground for the national SUMP programme, or to improve the existing programme. The NTFs were recommended to include and ideally be led by a governmental ‘higher level responsible’ for urban mobility.

National Task Force structure The structure of NTF and number of its members differs from country to country depending on different level of development of the SUMP framework at national/regional levels and setting of responsibilities. In general SUMP-responsible ministries were involved in nearly all national NTF groups. In the Czech Republic 5 ministries formed NTF (Ministries of Transport, Regional Development, Health, Environment and Education), 4 ministries formed NTF in Hungary (Ministries of Finance, Innovation and Technology, Interior and Agriculture), 3 federal ministries were part of NTF in Germany (Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure, Federal Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety and Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Community). In Poland Ministry of Infrastructure and Ministry of Investment and Economic Development were involved in NTF, In Slovenia Ministry of Infrastructure and Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning. In Belgium Departments of Transport of all 3 Belgian regions formed NTF while in Bulgaria NTF consisted preferably of stakeholders from Varna region and municipality, similar situation was in Spain, where only stakeholders from Catalonian region and Barcelona municipality were represented. In Cyprus NTF included 10 people working at the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works, NTF was supplemented by 7 municipalities. In five countries of NTFs involved also associations of cities and cities’ networks (CZ, DE, LT, PT and RO). In Hungary, Jaspers – EBI, EC (DG Regio) and people representing Prime Minister´s office were members of NTF. The number of members are shown in the table below.

Task Force meetings Although it was thought that NTF would meet once a year so 3 meetings during the project would be sufficient, in many countries it became clear that more meetings were necessary, because creation of NTFs enabled their members to meet each other for the first time in SUMP affair. They became quickly motivated for the NTF work and requested more meetings.

Preparation of National SUMP Programme was the topic mentioned in most of project countries – 11 of 14. Elaboration of quality assessment processes for SUMPs was the second most frequent point at the agenda – in 4 countries followed by Elaboration at the action plan level mentioned 3 times. Other themes were SUMP specific issues relevant for specific countries.

In many countries the National SUMP Supporting Programme was the main point on the agenda repeatedly as it was together with NTF formation one of the main outputs of the PROSPERITY project.

3.2 National SUMP networks By the term ‘National SUMP Network’ is meant a national network that actively supports its members in preparation and implementation of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. A National

11 / 29

D6.4 : Tailor made national SUMP promotion programs September 2019

SUMP Network is hosted by one or several organisations, associations, networks etc. which would ensure a minimum level of Network activities. These networks are expected to:  foster a national policy and national support for SUMP  organise and develop information, training and training materials in the local language  facilitate national knowledge exchange between cities,  be the national contact point and thus channel and institutionalise the knowledge exchange on an international level  be able to provide support to cities and agglomerations even in adverse circumstances (e.g. economic slump, hostile political environment). The networks are there to encourage and support cities to engage in sustainable urban mobility planning and implementation, so close communication with cities and their activation is needed. The build-up of enduring national networks on SUMPs was the central objective of the previous ENDURANCE project. The PROSPERITY project was not primarily focused on strengthening national SUMP networks, but it used the networks for its objectives, preferably for training events, dissemination activities and collecting the data. The PROSPERITY group of countries contained also Croatia and Cyprus which were not involved in the ENDURANCE project and where the situation regarding SUMP networks was unknown at the beginning of the project. For overarching the gap caused by absence in the forerunner project it was recommended to consider the possibility of joining already existing network which directly covers SUMP theme or at least deals with urban mobility. Table 3 provides basic information on national SUMP networks of all project countries.

mesh with statutory land use plans were both coached in 2 cities. Other topics reflected city´s needs in their process of SUMP development and/or were tailor-made, e.g. Analysis of Lisbon’s mobility situation or Sustainable mobility measures and Jonava case.

3.4 Training events The PROSPERITY training programme was based on the user needs analysis carried out in Task 4.2 Identification of training needs in different countries. The analysis was carried out in conjunction with the CIVITAS SUMPS-Up project so that the both surveys provided complementary results to facilitate organising the training events in a coordinated way. Deliverable D4.1 Country / City Specific, Tailor-made Recommendation Documents on Training Needs summarises the assessment methodology and the outcome of the user needs analysis and provides recommendations for topic selection for training in each country. In each national training event and partner city coaching activity the training programme consisted of a combination of topics, trainers and an allocated Champion City. The combination of each element is based on the user needs analysis that has been drafted as a matrix matching countries, topics and trainers (from the expert pool of the PROSPERITY consortium). Four Champion Cities Vitoria-Gasteiz (ES), Dundee (UK), Sint-Niklaas (BE) and Vienna (AT) shared their experience during training events in host cities. Table below displays National Training Event Programme. For more information see D4.2.

4 Legislative framework

National legislation is one of the crucial factors for the development of sustainable mobility policies in cities. Summary of legislative framework in project countries is described in Del 3.3 Summary of new / enhanced programmes to encourage SUMP in PROSPERITY countries and regions which provides detail information in following paragraphs:  Summary from Endurance project report (2013)  Situation in 2017  Legislation, programmes and documents for urban mobility  Supporting or counteracting policies  Obligatory activities related to SUMPs  Need for improvement All PROSPERITY countries developed National Sump Supporting Programmes (NSSP) which will serve as a base for larger improvements on legislative elements and supporting policies. Some of these documents are undergoing a political acceptance steps (Romania, Portugal), other will be used as a foundation for development of further development steps (Hungary, Czech Republic) as Roadmaps. Changes which were a direct impact/result of project activities occurred in:  Germany (Renewal of the "National Climate Protection Initiative", and  Bulgaria (Ordinance to support SUMPs).

The situation of funding conditioned to SUMP adoption is the same as in 2017. PROSPERITY helped to increase understanding and awareness regarding the role of the SUMPs, therefore it is expected that new funding will be available because of it.

The following section presents results and main achievements of SUMP promo activities in PROSPERITY countries and feedback given by NFPs. Its data source is D5.3 Final Monitoring and Evaluation Report and D6.4 SUMP Promotion Programmes of each of project countries. Beside dissemination, national promo events, training events and coaching events two core outputs which had and will have the main impact on SUMP progress in project countries can be identified: - National SUMP Supporting Programmes - Activation of National Task Forces

National SUMP Supporting Programmes The change to and development of the respective National SUMP Programmes is illustrated in table below.

The figure above demonstrates the levels of change and progress achieved during the project timeframe. At the project commencement only 4 of the counties of focus had an existing SUMP programme – BE (the Walloon, Flanders and Brussels), PT, SI, ES. By the end of the project, 8 of the 10 countries of focus that started from the scratch have produced a new National SUMP Supporting Programme and remaining 2 produced a Road Map. Three of countries that had existing SUMP Programmes before updated their existing programmes and included new elements to improve on the previous versions.

Activation of National Task Forces

The activation of the NTF (and activation of the HGL) were the most frequently cites Prosperity activities that provided the most influence in the countries of focus to assist in the prepare their National/regional SUMP Supporting Programmes. Following table presents good experience on PROSPERITY activities provided by NFPs. NFPs were asked what worked well during the project lifetime. Activation and operation of NTF was mentioned nearly in all answers. NFP´s complete answers can be found in the Annexes.

Table 12 Positive experience of NFPs; “What worked well” The Task Force gave mainly inspiration for self-assessment and improvement of the own regional programmes Flanders: Thanks to (Endurance) and Prosperity we could realise that Flanders should no longer be ‘humble’. The awareness (thanks to the benchmark research of WP3) that Flanders is leading made us spread this good news more publicly among stakeholders and towards the leading administrative responsible persons. BE Walloon: Prosperity realised good contacts between NFP and SPW (Walloon Administration and its higher level representatives). Brussels Region: The Good Move Regional Mobility Plan as finally approved in 2019, after a long and intensive public consultation/participatory trajectory, has high ambitions to fulfill, but there is political will as leverage factor. Also, Brussels is coming more and more aware that it should become a good example of urban mobility, being the head center of European Institutions. The NTF was in fact a Regional NTF because the ministerial representatives participated only as observers. The cooperation between the NTF and the Varna BG Regional Authority worked very well. The manner of urban planning in Varna was changed. NTF was active and all participating ministries were willing to find strategies and measures for improvement the mobility situation in Cypriot cities. Also there was a CY well exchange of experience on how the national context is perceived at a city level and how the national level could further help cities in SUMP development. NTF was active and all participating ministries were willing to find strategies and CZ measures for improvement the mobility situation in Czech cities. They all were active in SUMP Programme elaboration. Difu organised National Events for the promotion of SUMPs, where different stakeholdes and employees of cities could learn important aspects about the SUM DE planning process. The NTF in Germany can strongly influence the further processes regarding sustainable mobility planning in Germany. Formalization of NTF, as well as setting a clear goal and time-frame for the NTF ES (updating the SUMP support programme within PROSPERITY) helped achieve the goal. The creation of working groups linked to the NTF was of great help.

Increased interest of local communities in sustainable urban mobility planning. Also, the focus on transport professionals that should carry the activities of promoting HR sustainable mobility in cities and encouraging them to start with these kinds of activities was very important. NTF was active and all participating ministries were willing to find ways to promote SUMP and measures for improvement the mobility situation in Hungarian cities. They HU ideas have been involved in the draft National SUMP programme during the co- creation process. Training and exchange within the project has substantially helped the staff of the LT Ministry of Transport to become more confident and in some areas, more capable. Thanks to early contacts between NFP and ministry, the Task Force was constituted without major issues. During the lifetime of the project, ministries gained more PL awareness and knowledge about SUMP. The representative of ministry was constantly engaged in the project workflow, including participation in the international exchange workshops The collaboration between the NFP and the other members of the NTF, providing a joint organization of almost all events promoted during the CIVITAS PROSPERITY PT project. The training sessions registered a high participation from cities and the training evaluations were very good. The training and coaching sessions, webinars and experience exchanges. The NTF proved to be very successful. It gathers various profiles and points of view and RO helped to create a comprehensive picture of the actual situation and improvement possibilities. NTF was doing very well and created a common perspective about what must be SE done. NTF was most important contribution from the project. With the NTF we’ve broaden SI the group of people dealing with the national programme, opened the discussion and had regular interchange based on the frequent meetings. The consistently positive and constructive comments regarding the structure and performance of the NTF illustrates that ability of the PROSPERITY project to get ministries and national agencies to play a national leading role on SUMPs and to provide an effective mechanism for ministries to take a lead role which has contributed to achieving the project objectives.

Negative experience from NFP perspective Although PROSPERITY came with many activities which were very successful and well appreciated by NFPs and project countries, e.g. concept of NTF and National SUMP Supporting Programmes mentioned above, there were also things which did not work well regardless the effort of project partners. To realize these barriers which negatively influence the SUMP development at national levels is valuable and can help to plan future steps in SUMP promotion. Table below shows NFP´s answers to the question “What did not work well”.

Table 13 Negative experience of NFPs; “What did not work well” Walloon: There are more Prosperity external factors that influence whether or not BE SUMP policy will be improved. Cultural (and social-economic) differences sometimes remain a barrier for further cooperation. The Bulgarian team did not achieve to persuade the ministries to take over the BG SUMP framework. They didn’t change their position that the SUMP is a municipal

task and the state level should not provide any framework for SUMP development and implementation In Cyprus it is difficult to change the mentality of stakeholders and sometimes hard to CY convince them about positive effects of SUMP. Cities involvement in events organised within the project was not as high as was CZ thought at the project start. Municipal staff and local politicians are overloaded by work which was the reason for their lower attendance. The issue of Verkehrsentwicklungspläne (VEP) or Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMP) is still a topic for medium or big size cities in Germany. Despite the attempt DE to provide an appropriate agenda for small cities at the second annual national conference, it was hard to activate smaller municipalities. The lack of personnel and financial resources are main reasons for it. The fact that coordination between affected parties already existed before PROSPERITY (although based on non-formalised structures, whose main mechanism is the closeness and daily contact between the technicians responsible ES for each competent administration) made it difficult to “sell” the idea of the National Task Force meeting, which was initially perceived as unnecessary by some potential participants. HR The Ministry did not participate/take a leading role Municipal experts have very limited capacities to participate such events. Moreover, HU the decision-makers do no always support them. Less new cities were engaged during the project, however, the ones got engaged are really devoted. Cities involvement in events organised within the project was not as high as was thought at the project start. It was expected more politicians or high level municipal LT administration representatives. Unfortunately, municipal administration and local politicians are overloaded by work which was the reason for their lower attendance. There were no major barriers, only some related to availability of certain NTF PL members for meetings attendance and continuous work on tasks. The ministry delegated its NTF participation on the NFP. The focus of the ministry at PT the start of the Prosperity project were strategic documents that were started in before the start of the Prosperity project and that were focused on regional planning. The main weakness of the NTF is given by the fact that it has not allocated a RO dedicated funding (fact making difficult the face to face meetings as well as its promotion). SE There is always a lack of time/money. The lack of capacities of main players in the NTF (Ministry of Infrastructure, UIRS SI and others) to respond to the increased demand for the support and development of SUMPs in the country. The barriers which limited impact of (several) PROSPERITY activities differs a lot from country to country. In CZ, SI, LT and HU the lack of capacities of stakeholders reduced the impact of PROSPERITY events. This was the most frequently mentioned complaint. In some countries it is still needed to inform about SUMP benefits, because some stakeholders do not see the positive effect of it (CY), or SUMP topic is not the priority for ministries (BG, PT).

7 Continuation of PROSPERITY activities The PROSPERITY project came with many activities which were very successful and well appreciated by project countries, e.g. concept of NTF and National SUMP supporting programmes. The ambition of the PROSPERITY was to start continuous process of SUMP support which will endure beyond PROSPERITY period and where regular meetings of NTFs and regular updates of National SUMP Supporting Programmes will play a main role. Table provides a summary of NFPs assumptions how SUMP promotion will continue.

Table 14 Continuation of PROSPERITY activities The BEPOMM network & steering board (NTF) remains active and will follow up on SUM policies. The scattered competences of the Regions however brings the NFP is BE a ‘delicate’ positions, not being able to influence fully (because Regional Ministries and Authorities finally decide). The promotion of the SUMP topic will continue beyond the PROSPERITY project with the elaboration and implementation of the Varna SUMP. The promotional BG activities are planned in the Regional SUMP Programme and the members of the NTF are willing to continue working regardless the end of the project. Promotion of the SUMP topic will continue beyond the PROSPERITY project, CY promotion activities are planned in SUMP Programme, all members of NTF are willing to continue to work regardless the end of the project. Promotion of the SUMP topic will continue beyond the PROSPERITY project, CZ promotion activities are planned in SUMP Programme, all members of NTF are willing to continue to work regardless the end of the project. Even after the end of the Prosperity project the NTF will keep on meeting. The Difu, as the NFP within Prosperity, will organise the meetings. Further meetings of the DE NTF are important to further the process of support for SUMP and all the participating members of the NTF agree on this point. From a National perspective, DIBA is willing to maintain the NTF approach through the creation (in the medium/long term) of a "Mobility Forum” for Barcelona, in which the administrations with competences in mobility in Barcelona region periodically meet to discuss aspects such as: ES • Defining/updating of methodological approaches • New support needs for municipalities • Future challenges for mobility • Others The best way to continue the development/implementation of the SUM program is to connect all the interested stakeholders in this process, from the government level to HR the business sector, in order to develop a critical mass of stakeholders that is needed for the successful implementation of the program. Promotion of the SUMP topic will continue beyond the PROSPERITY project, HU promotion activities are planned in SUMP Programme, all members of NTF are willing to continue to work regardless the end of the project. Key factors for the continuation of the SUMP Programme: - Regular meetings of National SUMP Commission (NTF will be integrated in it) with LT Ministry of Transport - Promotion of EU and other international events on sustainable transport and LT mobility to our cities / PROSPERITY network members - Continued thematic workshops on the nine themes that make up the SUMP guidelines in LT - Cooperation on national campaigns for road safety

The continuation of the SUMP Promo Programme in Poland will take place within the framework of further meetings of the working group officially established by the PL Ministry. The established working group will deal with detailed development and implementation of the solutions described in the SUMP Programme, which were not implemented within the time horizon of the Prosperity project. If the National SUMP Programme Proposal is approved, the National Task Force members will be invited to form the Programme Task Force (PTF) that will coordinate PT the implementation of the Programme throughout its validity (2019-2024). The PTF intends to hold Programme Coordination meetings twice a year. There is a need of maintenance of the NTF as an urban mobility exchange platform and advising body enabling the communication between the various governance RO levels and sectors for the optimization of the effectiveness of SUMPs as operational tools. The Swedish Transport Administration will work with as many as possible of the SE proposed tasks in the National progamme. Sweden will also connect other projects, such as Park4SUMP, to the ongoing work with SUMPs/Traffic strategies. We’ll continue with NTF´s work after the project with even more intensive work and SI we managed to secure resources for it in a different project. This shows the importance and success of the NTF in Slovenia.

Through NFPs all project countries stated that promotion of SUMPs will continue beyond PROSPERITY project and NTFs will continue their work. The real power of NFP and its influence on HGL, resp. the position of NFP in NTF and in a structure of national SUMP stakeholder´s is a crucial factor whether and how much this continuation will be effective.

1 Introduction Promotion of SUMPs at national level is one of PROSPERITY objectives and a key activity for National Focal Points (NFPs) in project countries. In most of them the promotion has started during previous ENDURANCE project which created national SUMP networks, and activated cities to start with SUMP. The SUMP promotion programme includes activities, progress and milestones of the Task Force, national meetings and trainings (WP3 and WP4) and awareness raising activities. It also provides information on transfer of national frame conditions and financing and funding opportunities. This includes consideration of advantages and disadvantages of mandatory concepts/parts or directives.

2 SUMP Promo Programme main achievements This chapter provides an overview of main achievements that make up the SUMP Promo Programme. A basic overview is given in the text, more detailed information is provided in Appendix of this report.

2.1 Task Force The Task Force is the higher level ‘body’ that is committed to prepare the ground for the national SUMP programme, or to improve the existing programme. The Task Force should include and ideally be led by a governmental ‘higher level responsible’ for urban mobility. The Prosperity NFP’s have the task to start-up the Task Force (TF). There are 4 essentials to understand the Task Force (1) Governmental higher level body: the TF operates with the engagement of the national or higher level public authority that is responsible for sustainable (urban) mobility. The chair of the Task Force is ‘ideally’ the institute/person that has the decision making power. It might be the National Ministry of Transport or the Administration (sometimes also called ‘Department’) but when the referred competences are regionalised it might be another level institute. The task force however shouldn’t be defined institutionally/by law, in many countries this would take too much time. (2) Committed: means that the Task Force has tasks to do, and is not just an informal working group without clear objectives, targets and timing. Once again, this means that they ideally should have the power to decide amongst them. Being able to work efficiently, the group should be limited (see composition). (3) Prepare the ground for the national SUMPprogramme or to upgrade the existing one: is their main objective and task. This means however that – not whilst a strictly timing and purposeful agenda – in most countries it won’t be possible for the Task Force to obtain a fully elaborated and approved higher level framework programme within the duration of the Prosperity Project. The Road Map will report on the evolution and final status and will indicate steps how to continue beyond the Prosperity timing. (4) The national SUMP programme: the task is focussed on the development of a higher level policy framework for SUMP that might include institutional, legal and financial conditions and incentives to encourage and support cities in the development and implementation of

33

high quality SUMPs. The national SUMP programme can become either a voluntary or regulatory (legal) framework.

Task Force meetings As described in WP 3; analysis of national SUMP programmes, one should be aware that the 3 Regions in Belgium – that all have competence over and support L-SUMPs with guidelines, institutional, financial and organisational legislation (based on Decree or Ordonance) It is based on the Flanders experience in the Mid 90’ies that Task Forces were established to develop these support programmes. Meanwhile the Walloon Region and Brussels Capital region Mobility Departments have similar ‘high level steering bodies’ that watch over progress and improvements. After 2 first National Task Forces the 3 Regions agreed to concentrate on the respective updates of their Regional SUMP programmes individually, and have only contact with the NFP via telco’s on the basis of specific (support) needs. Nevertheless, the responsible Ministry persons meet each other in the intergovernmental working group and once a year during the EPOMM general assembly in Brussels. In all regions the Task Force work gave mainly inspiration for self-assessment and improvement of the own regional programmes. The outcomes and state of play of updates concerning the respective Regional SUMP Programmes for Flanders, Brussels Capital City and Walloon Region can be read in the WP3 deliverable 3.4 about the SUMP national/regional supporting programmes

More information can be found in Appendix. 2.2 National SUMP network The buildup of enduring national networks on SUMPs was the central objective of previous ENDURANCE project. By term ‘National SUMP Network’ is meant a national network that actively supports its members in preparing and implementing Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. A National SUMP Network is hosted by one or several organisations, associations, networks etc. who would ensure a minimum level of Network activities during and beyond the ENDURANCE project. These networks were expected to:  foster a national policy and national support for SUMP  organise and develop information, training and training materials in the local language  facilitate national knowledge exchange between cities,  be the national contact point and thus channel and institutionalise the knowledge exchange on an international level  be able to provide support to cities and agglomerations even in adverse circumstances (e.g. economic slump, hostile political environment). The networks are there to encourage and support cities to engage in sustainable urban mobility planning and implementation, so close communication with cities and their activation was needed

The Belgian SUMP Network is organised via BEPOMM. The Belgian Platform exists already 6 years as a result of EPOMM-Plus and was broadened to Mobility Management and SUMP network since 2014.

The network can rely on a contact database of + 260 active people (professionals and supporters that regularly come to the organised network events) Half of them are locally based (municipalities and cities).

2.3 Cities and their activation Interest of cities in SUMP and their involvement into the project is the key success factor. Specific tool for cities activation was developed in the Endurance project and is described in Roadmaps of the Endurance project (http://www.epomm.eu/endurance/index.php?id=2833, http://www.epomm.eu/docs/2250/D3_4_ENDURANCE_Report.pdf). A modified diagram below offers the guidance for categorisation of cities (interested/uninterested in SUMP and advanced/less advanced in SUMP). interested in interested in SUMP network/SUMP improvement SUMP network/SUMP improvement 1 2

The city activation strategy was in particular designed for cities to join national existing or newly established SUMPs networks. As these networks have been already established in most of Prosperity countries within Endurance project, city activation is not needed any more in countries where national SUMP networks work well. For the rest of countries it is recommended to use the principles of it. It is relevant especially in Croatia and Cyprus which were not Endurance partners.

In Belgium, most of the small and medium sized cities are active BEPOMM members with 16 SUMPs actual information online via the Endurance website, including Brussels Capital (in fact 19 municipalities and cities) Belgium has a total of 510 approved L-SuMPs. ( Flanders and Brussels have 100%, Walloon region 70 % coverage ratio). Cities active in SUMP can be found on ENDURANCE project website:

37 http://www.epomm.eu/endurance 2.4 Other meetings and dissemination activities Several types of other activities took place to promote SUMPs at national level: Meetings: - National SUMP Promo Events - annual national SUMP conference in own country (national training weeks are excluded). - Third-party Events - events with active participation (with own original content): presentation, leading a workshop, lecturing Dissemination: - Printed materials - publications released within CIVITAS PROSPERITY project - Media - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content - Digital promotion (2.0 media) - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content - Regular blogging – In terms of the PROSPERITY project a blog is represented as a dedicated section on the respective city website, on a respective national SUMP platform website, or on the CIVITAS PROSPERITY website. Regular blogging on own experience with the whole SUMP process (both, planning and implementation) by city representatives, experts and NFP in their own local language to encourage follower cities in the own country to become active. - News and case studies - news and case studies fed into the Mobility Plans Platform website

Detail overview of all types of activities and specific actions realised during the project can be found in Appendix of this report.

3 Legislative framework

This chapter is made up of extracts from the SUMP Programmes of Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels-Capital Regions.

Flanders Region

After almost 20 years of ‘leading’ good practise in local SUMP (L-SUMP) support, the northern region in Belgium – Flanders - has chosen a new approach: (basic) accessibility, multimodality in logistics and passenger transport , layered transport networks & nodes combined with MaaS will become the bone of Regional SUMPs. In the 15 transport regions several cities and municipalities in the same spatial influence area will cooperate on planning, implementing and evaluating a more user-oriented sustainable mobility policy.

The new ‘Decree’ on Regional SUMPs should be seen in the context of the change towards a more ‘holistic’ sustainable mobility policy.

38

 On the 18th of December 2015, the Flemish Government approved the concept memorandum "With basic accessibility towards an efficient and attractive transport model in Flanders that optimally meets the requirements” (VR 2015 1812 DOC.1446). With this decision the concept of basic accessibility was further specified.  In the concept memorandum "State of the art Basic accessibility" approved by the Flemish Government on October, 2017 (VR 2017 2710 DOC 1072) it is proposed to draw up a transport plan that is broader than just the aspects public transport and customized/on demand transport.  In 2016 three pilot Transport Region projects were introduced and evaluated. A fourth project following in 2017 in the Transport Region of Antwerp. The remaining Transport Regions started in the latter part of 2018 or will shortly commence in 2019. The evidence from these pilot projects provided advancing insights for modifications in the new Decree. The Decree has evolved into a 25-page long policy document and a more comprehensive 70-page ‘Memorandum’ was also drafted to provide further guidance and explanation. The documents were approved by the Flemish government on 21st of December 2018. Consultation with the CIVITAS Prosperity Belgian National Task Force took place to follow up on the incremental changes. First step workshops, with the Flemish quality chamber, were held to assess possible improvements. The CIVITAS Prosperity National Focal Point was also included in the final consultation process of a broad expert stakeholder sound board. This Sound Board is refining and detailing the new guidelines before the Flemish Parliament finally adopted the new Decree late Spring 2019. This new regulatory framework sets the Flanders region apart from other countries as a forerunner once more by moving the design of its future mobility from the local level to a functional city approach. 2019 will be an important year of ‘change’ with the first Regional SUMPs expected to be ready by 2020.

Wallonia Region

All decrees related to mobility will be reviewed gradually to be incorporated in the new Mobility Code. The legal basis of the SUMP guidelines is the Decree on mobility and local accessibility (2004). In addition, there is a separate legislation on the financing of urban mobility plans (2004). City councils must adopt an L-SuMP (PCM). In the case of a SUMP (PUM), most City councils (representing 2/3 of the population of urban area) have to adopt the PUM (with a final approval by the Walloon government). The other planning levels, such as the SAMs, provincial mobility plans and cross-border mobility plans have no mandatory legal status (by any decree) and are voluntary.

Brussels-Capital Region

After two generations of regional SUMPs, changes in the region and the increasing importance of the mobility policy created the need today for a more proactive approach than the approach initiated with the first two generations of regional SUMPs (called “Iris” plans). To make regional

39 and municipal mobility strategies and projects more consistent with one another, the Brussels- Capital Region approved an Ordinance on 26th July 2013 giving regulatory status to its new Regional SUMP. The ordinance of 2013 also defines the content of the regional and local SUMPS and specifies that all L-SUMPS need to be in line with the legislative parts of the regional SUMP. In addition, non-legislative parts of the regional SUMP need to be taken into account in the L-SUMP. Finally, the ordinance specifies that L-SUMPS will be updated every twelve years and that the regional SUMP is updated every ten years. The regional SUMP is part of the indicative strategic plans that are binding for all administrative entities that depend on the Region, such as the Regional Sustainable Development Plan (GPDO), the Noise Plan and the Air-Climate Energy Plan. Various legislation provides a framework for aspects of the mobility policy or the resulting actions: The Brussel’s spatial planning legislation forms the legal basis for the plans and resources for the implementation of the spatial planning organisation policy:  The Regional Zoning Plan (GBP) is at the same level as the regional SUMP; these must be consistent with each other;  In the Guidelines for Construction (RPA), the regulatory provisions of the others plans that conflict with it have been withdrawn;  The Regional Urban Planning Regulation.

The Brussel's Legislation of Air, Climate and Energy Management controls the plans and resources for the implementation of the policies for air quality, climate and energy. The Parking Ordinance provides the framework for the Regional Parking Policy Plan (GPBP) and the Municipal Parking Action Plans (GPAP).

4 Financial Resources and Other Incentives

This chapter is made up of extracts from the SUMP Programmes of Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels-Capital Regions.

Flanders Region The motivation for the new holistic Mobility policy and new Decree is to provide a more ‘cost- efficient’ transport system. A more user-oriented and demand-oriented layered transport system is the opposite of the superseded supply-oriented system that was too costly and created adverse effects such as competition between modes (e.g. public transport with cycling). Advice from the Transport Regions will ensure a more integrated investment programme at both local, regional SUMP and Flanders level. For the Regional SUMPs, this means they have to work with predefined budget lines and prioritize actions. The Flemish government will also continue to provide specific financial incentives, such as grants, subsidies and cooperation agreements for infrastructure and non-infrastructural

40 projects or measures implemented to support (non-mandatory) updates in L-SUMPs or under the new regulatory framework programme supporting Regional SUMPs. Defining budgets and resource allocation is part of the multi-annual action plans, the final phase in the Regional SUMP planning (see 2.6.4.) In the guiding documents it is mentioned that financing the Regional SUMP should take into account the “budgetary margins” that have been defined by the government.

Wallonia Region

The ministry for Transport and Mobility of the Walloon government provides financial resources for the development and for the revision of a SUMP. The financial resources can cover up to 75% of the costs for personnel costs of the municipality as well as for external consultants. The maximum amounts are set to: . € 200,000 for municipalities with less than 50,000 inhabitants . € 250,000 for municipalities with more than 50,000 inhabitants

If municipalities collaborate for a SUMP, the ministry will evaluate whether the collaboration is relevant. If the collaboration is considered appropriate, the maximum amount for financial support is multiplied by the number of municipalities. The financial resources allocated as follows: . 30% upon approval of the application; . 30% on the basis of supporting documents showing the purpose of the plan and the accounting documents for personnel costs; and . 40% after the approval of the municipal mobility plan by the municipal council.

Besides financial resources, another incentive for municipalities is the possibility to obtain technical assistance from the Directorate-General for Transport, to designate a project designer, obtain a model specification or draw up an agreement between the municipality and the project designer. In addition, once the SUMP is in place, there are additional funding opportunities for projects involving improving multi-modal travel, public transport, cycling, walking, carpooling or accessibility. The maximum amounts of these projects are set to:  € 150,000 for municipalities with less than 10,000 inhabitants  € 200,000 for municipalities with 10,000 to 50,000 inhabitants  € 250,000 for municipalities with more than 50,000 inhabitants These financial incentives are called impulse credits and they are conditional upon having an L-SuMP or SUMP1. Currently this is no longer the case and funding can be obtained in absence of a SUMP. Finally, large cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants (this is the case for eight Walloon cities: Namur, Liège, Verviers, Charleroi, Tournai, Mouscron, La Louvière and Mons) can receive a grant from the region for the commitment of a mobility advisor or CeM.

Brussels-Capital Region

Good Move specifies that the L-SuMPS can be financed for 50% by the regional government. In addition, there are financial incentives for municipal investments that contribute to the objectives of the regional SUMP: An ordinance of 2018 specifies that financial resources for investments that contribute to the objectives of the regional SUMP are eligible for a higher percentage of funding.

5 SUMP Promo Programme main outcome

The National Promo Programme contributed to a cultural shift in terms of environment for Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMP) and in the organizational culture of transport planning as follows:

In Flanders, Renewed Act on 15 (SUMP) Transport Regions was adopted in Dec. 2018, being implemented in 2019-2020.

The Walloon region has a well-established urban transport planning framework that incorporates SUM planning with support from the regional level. The SUM planning occurs at different levels: (a) The “Plan urbain de mobilité” or PUM is an SUMP at the level of the functional city. (b) The “Plan InterCommunal de mobilité” or PICM is a mobility plan of several municipalities combined. (c) The “Plan Communal de mobilité ” or PCM is a mobility plan at the level of one municipality (i.e., an L-SuMP) (d) Finally, the “Plan Provincial de Mobilité” or PPM is a mobility plan at the level of the province. All decrees related to mobility will be reviewed gradually to be incorporated in the new Mobility Code starting 2019-2020.

In Brussels Region a new regional SUMP (3th) generation has been adopted Spring 2019, with a more proactive approach than the approach of the first two generations of regional SUMPs (called “Iris” plans). To make the regional and the municipal mobility strategies and projects more consistent with one another, the Brussels-Capital Region approved an Ordinance on 26 July 2013 giving regulatory status to its new regional SUMP, called Good Move. This Ordinance specifies that L-SuMPs need to be in line with the regional SUMP. The regional SUMP therefore guides the nineteen municipalities to adhere to a specific set of goals, targets and even actions. In turn, the regional SUMP has been established with strong involvement of the municipalities to create a shared vision and a dynamic partnership between the region and the municipalities. Finally, Brussels-Capital Region provides a set of practical

42 guidelines on the L-SuMP planning process, defining the planning cycle of the L-SuMP that follows the EU guidelines.

The situation in Belgium – with the scattered mobility compentences for the Regions is quite different, and was ongoing already long before Prosperity. In fact, Belgium was wrongly defined a take up country. Nevertheless effort on promotion and especially exchange of experience in the Task Force led to increase interest to promote Belgium in the European context of SUMP support in a leading role. Prosperity gave inspiration and input to certain topics, which finally resulted sometimes in updates or improvements of the SUMP national programmes ; e.g. Flanders, Walloon region. Further policy exchange on Ministry level happens in the intergovernmental consultations on the highest level.

Continuation of the SUMP promotion programme The BEPOMM network & steering board (NTF) remains active and will follow up on SUM policies. The scattered competences of the Regions however brings the NFP is a ‘delicate’ positions, not being able to influence fully (because Regional Ministries and Authorities finally decide).

Main Prosperity outcomes

Flanders Region Thanks to (Endurance) and Prosperity we could realise that Flanders should no longer be ‘humble’. The awareness (thanks to the benchmark research of WP3) that Flanders is leading made us spread this good news more publicly among stakeholders and towards the leading administrative responsible persons. This was also a leverage factor to constantly improve the SUMP programme, which was done finally in 2018-2019 (but not only as a result of Prosperity). Prosperity realised good contacts between NFP and MOW (Flemish Administration and its higher level representatives). NFP gained from that in general, being consulted as an expert partner in SUMP; e.g. in the process of SUMP renewal towards Regional approach. Flanders presented its ‘integral’ support approach towards L-SuMPs at three SUMP conferences : Dubrovnik, Nicosia and Groningen.

Walloon Region The Walloon Region was maybe the region that had to most beneficial potential, but also high level Ministry/Administration representatives encounter the bureaucratic barriers of Ministries’ cabinets or overall Regions problems, e.g. austerity policy.

43

There are more Prosperity external factors that influence weather or not SUMP policy will be improved. Prosperity realised good contacts between NFP and SPW (Walloon Administration and its higher level representatives). Exchange of experience will continue – e.g. cycling should become more priority topic. Cultural (and social-economic) differences sometimes remain a barrier for further cooperation.

Brussels Region M21 – as (BEPOMM) NFP is in permanent regular contact with the BCR and continues SUMP networking and help BCR help find EC funding opportunities (one of the BRC objectives is to double the EC projects funding budget). The Good Move Regional Mobility Plan as finally approved in 2019, after a long and intensive public consultation/participatory trajectory, has high ambitions to fulfill, but there is political will as leverage factor. Also, Brussels is coming more and more aware that it should become a good example of urban mobility, being the head center of European Institutions.

1 Introduction Promotion of SUMPs at national level is one of PROSPERITY objectives and a key activity for National Focal Points (NFPs) in project countries. In most of them the promotion has started during previous ENDURANCE project which created national SUMP networks, and activated cities to start with SUMP. The SUMP promotion programme includes activities, progress and milestones of the Task Force, national meetings and trainings (WP3 and WP4) and awareness raising activities. It also provides information on transfer of national frame conditions and financing and funding opportunities. This includes consideration of advantages and disadvantages of mandatory concepts/parts or directives.

2 SUMP Promo Programme main achievements This chapter provides an overview of main achievements that make up the SUMP Promo Programme. A basic overview is given in the text, more detailed information is provided in Appendix of this report.

2.1 Task Force The Task Force is the higher level ‘body’ that is committed to prepare the ground for the national SUMP programme, or to improve the existing programme. The Task Force should include and ideally be led by a governmental ‘higher level responsible’ for urban mobility. The Prosperity NFP’s have the task to start-up the Task Force (TF). There are 4 essentials to understand the Task Force (5) Governmental higher level body: the TF operates with the engagement of the national or higher level public authority that is responsible for sustainable (urban) mobility. The chair of the Task Force is ‘ideally’ the institute/person that has the decision making power. It might be the National Ministry of Transport or the Administration (sometimes also called ‘Department’) but when the referred competences are regionalised it might be another level institute. The task force however shouldn’t be defined institutionally/by law, in many countries this would take too much time. (6) Committed: means that the Task Force has tasks to do, and is not just an informal working group without clear objectives, targets and timing. Once again, this means that they ideally should have the power to decide amongst them. Being able to work efficiently, the group should be limited (see composition). (7) Prepare the ground for the national SUMPprogramme or to upgrade the existing one: is their main objective and task. This means however that – not whilst a strictly timing and purposeful agenda – in most countries it won’t be possible for the Task Force to obtain a fully elaborated and approved higher level framework programme within the duration of the Prosperity Project. The Road Map will report on the evolution and final status and will indicate steps how to continue beyond the Prosperity timing. (8) The national SUMP programme: the task is focussed on the development of a higher level policy framework for SUMP that might include institutional, legal and financial conditions and incentives to encourage and support cities in the development and implementation of

56

high quality SUMPs. The national SUMP programme can become either a voluntary or regulatory (legal) framework.

Task Force meetings Four Task Force meetings were held during the project. The main points of the meeting were the analysis of the state of SUMP in Bulgaria, the efforts to involve the individual ministries (meetings were held with the Ministry of Regional Development, Ministry of Transport and Ministry of Environment and Waters) and the cooperation with the Varna Regional Administration in order to establish a SUMP program at Regional level. The main output of the Task Force's work is the Varna Regional SUMP Programme and the commitment to the Task Force to continue its work beyond the PROSPERITY project. More information can be found in Appendix.

2.2 National SUMP network The build up of enduring national networks on SUMPs was the central objective of previous ENDURANCE project. By term ‘National SUMP Network’ is meant a national network that actively supports its members in preparing and implementing Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. A National SUMP Network is hosted by one or several organisations, associations, networks etc., that would ensure a minimum level of Network activities during and beyond the ENDURANCE project. These networks were expected to:  foster a national policy and national support for SUMP  organise and develop information, training and training materials in the local language  facilitate national knowledge exchange between cities,  be the national contact point and thus channel and institutionalise the knowledge exchange on an international level

57

 be able to provide support to cities and agglomerations even in adverse circumstances (e.g. economic slump, hostile political environment). The networks are there to encourage and support cities to engage in sustainable urban mobility planning and implementation, so close communication with cities and their activation was needed

In June 2019 - 11 of 19 (58%) of all Bulgarian cities over 50.000 inhabitants were network members. The common number of the members of the network is 289. Since the PROSPERITY project started (September 2016), the total number of Bulgarian city members increased from 20 to 25 and the total number of members increased from 200 to 289.

2.3 Cities and their activation Interest of cities in SUMP and their involvement into the project is the key success factor. Specific tool for cities activation was developed in the Endurance project and is described in Roadmaps of the Endurance project (http://www.epomm.eu/endurance/index.php?id=2833, http://www.epomm.eu/docs/2250/D3_4_ENDURANCE_Report.pdf). A modified diagram below offers the guidance for categorisation of cities (interested/uninterested in SUMP and advanced/less advanced in SUMP). interested in interested in SUMP network/SUMP improvement SUMP network/SUMP improvement 1 2

The city activation strategy was in particular designed for cities to join national existing or newly established SUMPs networks. As these networks have been already established in most of Prosperity countries within Endurance project, city activation is not needed any more in countries where national SUMP networks work well. For the rest of countries it is recommended to use the principles of it. It is relevant especially in Croatia and Cyprus which were not Endurance partners. As of June 2019 there are 25 Bulgarian cities listed on the country website and they are all members of the national SUMP network. Cities active in SUMP can be found on ENDURANCE project website: http://www.epomm.eu/endurance

2.4 Coachings Three coachings were organised during the project in Varna on various topics of SUMP. As defined in the AF, the coaching events were targeted especially to the employees of the transport department of Varna and other Varna stakeholders. Other cities were not invited.

Event Date Topic Attendance Cities People Coaching 1 30.03.2018 Defining targets; Selecting 1 19 measures and implementing measures in SUMP

Coaching 2 04.07.2018 Introduction to the 1 14 communication and to stakeholder involvement; tTe elements of continuous communication Coaching 3 16.11.2018 Monitoring and evaluation of 1 15 SUMP

The main impact of coachings was the increased capacity of Varna municipal transport staff. The transport professionals from the municipality and the company “Municipal Car Parks and Blue Zone” needed to learn more about how to put in practice the SUMP steps and the linked activities related to the selection and development of effective package of measures. The team was involved in a number of activities ranging from the management of the newly established paid parking scheme in the city center of Varna to more strategic tasks and projects linked to new infrastructures and plans. There were many participants participating in two or three coaching events and this has enormously facilitated the discussion on the SUMP planning cycle. Some other activities and projects initiated by the city have been briefly introduced to “set the scene”: the reclamation of areas and facilities still into the perimeter and responsibility of the port authority (in conjunction with the works for the new seaport of Varna located in a new area); the construction of a road bridge crossing the lake of Varna and the projects, etc.

2.6 Other meetings and dissemination activities Several types of other activities took place to promote SUMPs at national level: Meetings: - National SUMP Promo Events - annual national SUMP conference in own country (national training weeks are excluded). - Third-party Events - events with active participation (with own original content): presentation, leading a workshop, lecturing Dissemination: - Printed materials - publications released within CIVITAS PROSPERITY project - Media - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content - Digital promotion (2.0 media) - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content - Regular blogging – In terms of the PROSPERITY project a blog is represented as a dedicated section on the respective city website, on a respective national SUMP platform website, or on the CIVITAS PROSPERITY website. Regular blogging on own experience with the whole SUMP process (both, planning and implementation) by city representatives, experts and NFP in their own local language to encourage follower cities in the own country to become active. - News and case studies - news and case studies fed into the Mobility Plans Platform website

Detail overview of all types of activities and specific actions realised during the project can be found in Appendix of this report.

3 Legislative framework State level The National legislation is one of the most crucial factors for the development of sustainable mobility policies in cities. According to the legal frame in Bulgaria, the central Government does not deal with the urban transport. The Ministry of Transport delivers the national transport policy through the Operational programme “Transport”. In May 2013 MTITC published the “Integrated Transport Strategy of Bulgaria till 2030” that focused mainly on infrastructure measures facilitating the intercity transport connections as well as the TEN-T corridors in the country. Public transport in cities as well as SUMP, MaaS and FTS were not a part of this Strategy.

Regional level The Regional Administrations (comprising several municipalities) are obliged to draw up the district transport schemes which include the intercity lines between two or more municipalities. The traffic organisation, the specific requirements for traffic road systems and public transport of passengers are monitored by the regional government. Most of the mobility services commonly applied for mobility management is not applicable at regional level due to a lack of specific regulations permitted by the national legal frame.

62

Local level The transport schemes in the urban areas are regulated by the Law of Automobile Transport. The municipal councils and mayors are responsible for policy and decision making related to the spatial and urban planning and development of the municipal territory. According to this law, each municipality must elaborate and adopt a specific Municipal urban spatial plan which includes a transport scheme. The basic document that the municipalities follow in the process of planning and design of the communication and transport systems of urban areas is the Regulation no 2/29.06.2004 for Planning of Transport systems of Urban territories published by the MRDPW. The municipalities are obliged to develop the transport system of urban areas considering the street grid, transport modes organisation i.e. the public transport, walking, parking, transport facilities (service and fuel stations, bus stations), and the facilities for traffic regulation and management. Each municipality is obliged to follow the principles of the Regulation by passing through the municipal council a specific municipal decision. After an intensive campaign for including SUMP into the Bulgarian legislation led by CSDCS and some other organizations, by the end of 2017 the above mentioned Regulation was updated (Regulation N RD-02-20-2 from 20.12.2017 г.) introducing SUMP as a non obligatory planning instrument for the first time. Actually it is written that a SUMP might be developed following the decision of the LG when occurs elaboration of a new urban transport system or updating of an existing system.

4 Financing In Bulgaria the financial resources are of crucial importance for implementing SUMPs. European resources have emerged as the main motivation for kick-starting SUM planning in the first 9 cities. Actually with the support of H2020 CIVITAS Projects Ruse is implementing part of the measures of their SUMP and Varna is performing the initial SUMP planning. Financial Incentives In the period 2007-2013 the OP »Regional development« led by MRDPW allocated resources for developing Integrated plans for urban transport (IPUT) for the seven major Bulgarian cities. These plans focused on the implementation of infrastructure measures sometimes accompanied with fragmented mobility initiatives, without considering public participation, thus working against SUMPs and provoking misunderstanding among local actors. Some municipalities (Sofia and Burgas) declared, after the implementation of their IPUT, that they have a SUMP and later they pretended to elaborate the 2nd version of their SUMPs. In fact, Burgas completed its first SUMP in 2016 and Sofia is still elaborating its first SUMP that has to be ready by the end of 2019. During the planning period 2014-21 the MRDPW allocated in the OP “Regions in growth” resources for integrated transport plans of 37 medium-sized cities in Bulgaria. Again the accent was put on the infrastructure but some cities used their resources for implementation of their SUMPs (Ruse, Gabrovo, Kardjali, Srara Zagora). The further comprehensive system of support for municipalities and regions should be achieved by deploying their own resources or asking for bank loans. Other Forms of Incentives

63

A number of incentives and mechanisms will be implemented that will stimulate the interest in SUM planning in municipalities, regions and responsible bodies at the national level. Varna RA and CSDCS use to organize annually SUMP trainings inviting representatives of the EU SUMP Platform and the JASPERS team for promoting the SUMP incentives in Bulgaria. The Varna RA will provide support for training and consulting the small municipalities in elaboration of the regional transport planning. When collaborating with other ministries (MOEW, MPH, MCE), SUMPs will be recommended as a tool for managing challenges indirectly related to mobility (e.g. inadequate air quality, relations between human health and movement, education in mobility in High schools and Universities, etc.).

5 SUMP Promo Programme main outcome In the Bulgarian conditions the main outcome of the project was the decision of the Varna Local Authority to elaborate a SUMP. Varna was the first Bulgarian city that decided to borrow money from the EBRD for a SUMP development. We can also mention as a positive result from the project the creation of the Task Force, the interest of its members to work behind the PROSPERITY project and the elaboration of the Regional SUMP Programme, accepted and approved by the Varna Regional Council. Due to the training and coaching events and the four national SUMP promo events conducted in the frames of the project, all Bulgarian municipalities were informed about the benefits of SUMP and many of them increased their knowledge of SUMP preparation, elaboration or implementation. The city of Ruse received some money from the OP “Regions in Growth” and thanks to the increased capacity of the municipal staff started implementing their SUMP. The main impact of coachings was the improved capacity of the Varna transport staff which is prepared for contributing to the SUMP elaboration and implementation.

The Promo Programme contributed to the change of the state document defining the manner of urban and regional planning – the North-East Strategy for Development (including Varna Region). After a series of discussions with the Varna Regional Governor and the mayors of the municipalities in Varna region, some general provisions related to SUMP (including sustainable mobility measures, flexible transport systems and last mile concept) were introduced in the main text of the Strategy, including the Varna SUMP as a prerequisite of larger scope of sustainable mobility planning at regional level. The Regional SUMP Programme of Varna was approved as a model for replication in other Bulgarian regions and the decision about the launching the Varna SUMP was officially taken. The Varna team assisted by CSDCS started the implementation of the preliminary SUMP measures just after the National SUMP training in November 2018 and by the end of the project some important measures were successfully implemented and reached a large public approval and satisfaction (new parking policy and enlargement of the Blue zone, pedestrian strategy, e-mobility, etc.). What worked well? The NTF was in fact a Regional TF because the ministerial representatives participated only as observers. The cooperation between the TF and the Varna Regional Authority worked very well. The manner of urban planning in Varna was changed. The proof were the decision of the Municipality to use the money from the OP “Regions in growth” for building a new infrastructure

64 for the new transport scheme that will be implemented by the SUMP, the successfully implemented preliminary SUMP measures in Varna, as well as the start of the implementation of many mobility initiatives in the Varna smaller municipalities. CSDCS and Varna enlarged their common cooperation with experienced partners. They applied for the EU IUC Programme and won a Cooperation project with the city of Santa Monica, California. The joint team had the possibility to learn and to exchange experience in SUMP and mobility measures during two mutual learning visits and participation in international conferences in EU and North America. What did not work well? The Bulgarian team did not achieve to persuade the ministries to take over the SUMP framework. After many meetings and discussions with the three ministries that might be concerned, they didn’t change their position that the SUMP is a municipal task and the state level should not provide any framework for SUMP development and implementation.

Continuation of the SUMP promotion programme The promotion of the SUMP topic will continue beyond the PROSPERITY project with the elaboration and implementation of the Varna SUMP. The promotional activities are planned in the Regional SUMP Programme and the members of the TF are willing to continue working regardless the end of the project. Varna is intended to join the CIVITAS PORTIS project as a following city in order to implement some SUMP measures related to the Varna port.

1 Introduction Promotion of SUMPs at national level is one of PROSPERITY objectives and a key activity for National Focal Points (NFPs) in project countries. In most of them the promotion has started during previous ENDURANCE project which created national SUMP networks, and activated cities to start with SUMP. The SUMP promotion programme includes activities, progress and milestones of the Task Force, national meetings and trainings (WP3 and WP4) and awareness raising activities. It also provides information on transfer of national frame conditions and financing and funding opportunities. This includes consideration of advantages and disadvantages of mandatory concepts/parts or directives.

2 SUMP Promo Programme main achievements This chapter provides an overview of main achievements that make up the SUMP Promo Programme. A basic overview is given in the text, more detailed information is provided in Appendix of this report.

2.1 Task Force The Task Force is the higher level ‘body’ that is committed to prepare the ground for the national SUMP programme, or to improve the existing programme. The Task Force should include and ideally be led by a governmental ‘higher level responsible’ for urban mobility. The Prosperity NFP’s have the task to start-up the Task Force (TF). There are 4 essentials to understand the Task Force (9) Governmental higher level body: the TF operates with the engagement of the national or higher level public authority that is responsible for sustainable (urban) mobility. The chair of the Task Force is ‘ideally’ the institute/person that has the decision making power. It might be the National Ministry of Transport or the Administration (sometimes also called ‘Department’) but when the referred competences are regionalised it might be another level institute. The task force however shouldn’t be defined institutionally/by law, in many countries this would take too much time. (10) Committed: means that the Task Force has tasks to do, and is not just an informal working group without clear objectives, targets and timing. Once again, this means that they ideally should have the power to decide amongst them. Being able to work efficiently, the group should be limited (see composition). (11) Prepare the ground for the national SUMPprogramme or to upgrade the existing one: is their main objective and task. This means however that – not whilst a strictly timing and purposeful agenda – in most countries it won’t be possible for the Task Force to obtain a fully elaborated and approved higher level framework programme within the duration of the Prosperity Project. The Road Map will report on the evolution and final status and will indicate steps how to continue beyond the Prosperity timing. (12) The national SUMP programme: the task is focussed on the development of a higher level policy framework for SUMP that might include institutional, legal and financial onditions and incentives to encourage and support cities in the development and implementation of high quality SUMPs. The national SUMP programme can become either a voluntary or regulatory (legal) framework.

Task Force meetings Three Task Force meetings were held during the project. The main points of the meeting were the analysis of the state of SUMP in the Czech Republic, the intersection of the agenda of individual ministries and the topic of urban mobility and later the creation of the SUMP Programme. The main output of the Task Force's work is the SUMP Programme and the commitment to the Task Force to continue its work beyond the PROSPERITY project. The structure of NTF was effective. STE has organised many task force meetings and knowledge of experience events where participants had the chance to discuss about the importance of SUMP and SUM programmes. Also STE has disseminate the activities through social media and its website. More information can be found in Appendix.

2.2 National SUMP network The buildup of enduring national networks on SUMPs was the central objective of previous ENDURANCE project. By term ‘National SUMP Network’ is meant a national network that actively supports its members in preparing and implementing Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. A National SUMP Network is hosted by one or several organisations, associations, networks etc. who would ensure a minimum level of Network activities during and beyond the ENDURANCE project. These networks were expected to:  foster a national policy and national support for SUMP  organise and develop information, training and training materials in the local language  facilitate national knowledge exchange between cities,  be the national contact point and thus channel and institutionalise the knowledge exchange on an international level

82

 be able to provide support to cities and agglomerations even in adverse circumstances (e.g. economic slump, hostile political environment). The networks are there to encourage and support cities to engage in sustainable urban mobility planning and implementation, so close communication with cities and their activation was needed

2.3 Cities and their activation Interest of cities in SUMP and their involvement into the project is the key success factor. Specific tool for cities activation was developed in the Endurance project and is described in Roadmaps of the Endurance project (http://www.epomm.eu/endurance/index.php?id=2833, http://www.epomm.eu/docs/2250/D3_4_ENDURANCE_Report.pdf). A modified diagram below offers the guidance for categorisation of cities (interested/uninterested in SUMP and advanced/less advanced in SUMP). interested in interested in SUMP network/SUMP improvement SUMP network/SUMP improvement 1 2

Contact strategy: phone calls, personal visits only if needed

3 not interested in not interested in SUMP network/SUMP improvement SUMP network/SUMP improvement

The city activation strategy was in particular designed for cities to join national existing or newly established SUMPs networks. As these networks have been already established in most of Prosperity countries within Endurance project, city activation is not needed any more in countries where national SUMP networks work well. For the rest of countries it is recommended to use the principles of it. It is relevant especially in Croatia and Cyprus which were not Endurance partners.

84

As of June 2019 there are 4 Cypriot cities listed on the country website, however not all are members of the national SUMP network. Cities active in SUMP can be found on ENDURANCE project website: http://www.epomm.eu/endurance

2.4 Coachings Three coachings were organised during the project in project city on various topics of SUMP.

Event Date Topic Attendance Cities People Coaching 1 01/12/17 Adopting the SUMP approach 4 13 for small and mid-sized cities - Coaching 2 18/05/18 Defining targets, selecting and 4 10 implementing measures Coaching 3 12/12/18 Expectations for the approval 4 17 and implementation of the SUMP of Limassol

The main impact of coachings was achieving of a consensus on the need to create a new department of transport planning within the municipality structure of project city. The process has started during the PROSPERITY project however it will not be implemented by the end of the project.

2.5 Training(s) One regular five-day training was organised in the project city of Limassol. Event Date Topic(s) Attendance Cities People Regular 2017-11-27 – Adopting the SUMP approach for 4 20 Training 2017-12-30 small and mid sizes cities Communication and stakeholder involvement of the new SUMP - measures Urban Transport Roadmaps tool

Monitoring and evaluation

The main impact of the first training was an increase of capacities in specific SUMP topics in 4 Cypriot cities.

2.6 Other meetings and dissemination activities Several types of other activities took place to promote SUMPs at national level: Meetings: - National SUMP Promo Events - annual national SUMP conference in own country (national training weeks are excluded). - Third-party Events - events with active participation (with own original content): presentation, leading a workshop, lecturing Dissemination: - Printed materials - publications released within CIVITAS PROSPERITY project - Media - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content - Digital promotion (2.0 media) - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content - Regular blogging – In terms of the PROSPERITY project a blog is represented as a dedicated section on the respective city website, on a respective national SUMP platform website, or on the CIVITAS PROSPERITY website. Regular blogging on own experience with the whole SUMP process (both, planning and implementation) by city representatives, experts and NFP in their own local language to encourage follower cities in the own country to become active. - News and case studies - news and case studies fed into the Mobility Plans Platform website

Detail overview of all types of activities and specific actions realised during the project can be found in Appendix of this report.

3 Legislative framework The National legislation is one of the most critical factors for the development of sustainable mobility policies in cities. In Cyprus, transport planning is well established with a framework that incorporates SUMPs with the support from the national and regional levels. The urban mobility policy is regulated at the national governmental level with dedicated programmes, currently there are no major policies supporting SUMPs. The implementation and adoption of SUMPs is not mandatory however, the MTCW has decided to develop SUMPs in all urban areas in Cyprus. Moreover, it is expected that the outcomes of the SUMPs will be adopted by the City Councils concerned. 4 Financing In Cyprus, the financial resources are of significant importance for the implementation of the SUMPs. Although no formal incentives are provided, securing EU co-funding is much easier if a city has developed a SUMP. For the preparation of SUMPs, 15% of funds comes from governmental budget and 85% comes from EU budget.

87

5 SUMP Promo Programme main outcome In Cypriot conditions the main outcome of the project is creation of National Task Force, interest of its members to work behind the PROSPERITY project and elaboration of National SUMP Programme. Due to the training and national SUMP promo events the PROSPERITY project contributed to increase the knowledge of SUMPs among Cypriot cities which were in different levels of SUMP preparation, elaboration or implementation. The main impact of coachings was achieving of a consensus on the need to create a new department of transport planning within the municipality structure of project city. The process has started during the PROSPERITY project however it will not be implemented by the end of the project. NTF brought key stakeholders from all cities together where we had a constructive dialogue regarding the ambitions, priorities, other relevant topics of the SUMP and a plan conditions of urban mobility future development. SUMP Programme is the first SUMP related national strategy which builds on detail analysis and problem description, it designed solutions, set responsibilities and compiled action plan. What worked well NTF was active and all participating ministries were willing to find strategies and measures for improvement the mobility situation in Cypriot cities. Also there was a well exchange of experience on how the national context is perceived at a city level and how the national level could further help cities in SUMP development. What did not work well In Cyprus its difficult to change the mentality of stakeholders and sometimes hard to convince them about positive effects of SUMP. Continuation of the SUMP promotion programme Promotion of the SUMP topic will continue beyond the PROSPERITY project, promotion activities are planned in SUMP Programme, all members of NTF are willing to continue to work regardless the end of the project.

1 Introduction Promotion of SUMPs at national level is one of PROSPERITY objectives and a key activity for National Focal Points (NFPs) in project countries. In most of them the promotion has started during previous ENDURANCE project which created national SUMP networks, and activated cities to start with SUMP. The SUMP promotion programme includes activities, progress and milestones of the Task Force, national meetings and trainings (WP3 and WP4) and awareness raising activities. It also provides information on transfer of national frame conditions and financing and funding opportunities. This includes consideration of advantages and disadvantages of mandatory concepts/parts or directives.

2 SUMP Promo Programme main achievements This chapter provides an overview of main achievements that make up the SUMP Promo Programme. A basic overview is given in the text, more detailed information is provided in Appendix of this report.

2.1 Task Force The Task Force is the higher level ‘body’ that is committed to prepare the ground for the national SUMP programme, or to improve the existing programme. The Task Force should include and ideally be led by a governmental ‘higher level responsible’ for urban mobility. The Prosperity NFP’s have the task to start-up the Task Force (TF). There are 4 essentials to understand the Task Force (13) Governmental higher level body: the TF operates with the engagement of the national or higher level public authority that is responsible for sustainable (urban) mobility. The chair of the Task Force is ‘ideally’ the institute/person that has the decision making power. It might be the National Ministry of Transport or the Administration (sometimes also called ‘Department’) but when the referred competences are regionalised it might be another level institute. The task force however shouldn’t be defined institutionally/by law, in many countries this would take too much time. (14) Committed: means that the Task Force has tasks to do, and is not just an informal working group without clear objectives, targets and timing. Once again, this means that they ideally should have the power to decide amongst them. Being able to work efficiently, the group should be limited (see composition). (15) Prepare the ground for the national SUMPprogramme or to upgrade the existing one: is their main objective and task. This means however that – not whilst a strictly timing and purposeful agenda – in most countries it won’t be possible for the Task Force to obtain a fully elaborated and approved higher level framework programme within the duration of the Prosperity Project. The Road Map will report on the evolution and final status and will indicate steps how to continue beyond the Prosperity timing. (16) The national SUMP programme: the task is focussed on the development of a higher level policy framework for SUMP that might include institutional, legal and financial conditions and incentives to encourage and support cities in the development and implementation of high quality SUMPs. The national SUMP programme can become either a voluntary or regulatory (legal) framework.

Task Force meetings Six Task Force meetings were held during the project. The main points of the meeting were the analysis of the state of SUMP in the Czech Republic, the intersection of the agenda of individual ministries and the topic of urban mobility and later the creation of the SUMP Programme. The main output of the Task Force's work is the SUMP Programme and the commitment to the Task Force to continue its work beyond the PROSPERITY project. More information can be found in Appendix. 2.2 National SUMP network The buildup of enduring national networks on SUMPs was the central objective of previous ENDURANCE project. By term ‘National SUMP Network’ is meant a national network that actively supports its members in preparing and implementing Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. A National SUMP Network is hosted by one or several organisations, associations, networks etc. who would ensure a minimum level of Network activities during and beyond the ENDURANCE project. These networks were expected to:  foster a national policy and national support for SUMP  organise and develop information, training and training materials in the local language  facilitate national knowledge exchange between cities,  be the national contact point and thus channel and institutionalise the knowledge exchange on an international level  be able to provide support to cities and agglomerations even in adverse circumstances (e.g. economic slump, hostile political environment).

103

The networks are there to encourage and support cities to engage in sustainable urban mobility planning and implementation, so close communication with cities and their activation was needed

In June 2019 - 8 of 18 (44%) of all Czech cities over 50.000 inhabitants were network members. Since the PROSPERITY project started (September 2016), the total number of Czech network members increased from 11 to 13 members. Slovak member cities are not calculated as Slovakia is not PROSPERITY partner.

104

2.3 Cities and their activation Interest of cities in SUMP and their involvement into the project is the key success factor. Specific tool for cities activation was developed in the Endurance project and is described in Roadmaps of the Endurance project (http://www.epomm.eu/endurance/index.php?id=2833, http://www.epomm.eu/docs/2250/D3_4_ENDURANCE_Report.pdf). A modified diagram below offers the guidance for categorisation of cities (interested/uninterested in SUMP and advanced/less advanced in SUMP). interested in interested in SUMP network/SUMP improvement SUMP network/SUMP improvement 1 2

The city activation strategy was in particular designed for cities to join national existing or newly established SUMPs networks. As these networks have been already established in most of Prosperity countries within Endurance project, city activation is not needed any more in countries where national SUMP networks work well. For the rest of countries it is recommended to use the principles of it. It is relevant especially in Croatia and Cyprus which were not Endurance partners. As of June 2019 there are 18 Czech cities listed on the country website, however not all are members of the national SUMP network. Cities active in SUMP can be found on ENDURANCE project website: http://www.epomm.eu/endurance

2.4 Coachings Three coachings were organised during the project in project city on various topics of SUMP.

Event Date Topic Attendance Cities People Coaching 1 2018-02-28 Communication and 3 16 stakeholder involvement Coaching 2 2018-06-14 Achieving political and 3 12 internal buy-in Coaching 3 2019-01-24 How does SUMP mesh with 3 18 statutory land use plans

The main impact of coachings was achieving of a consensus on the need to create a new department of transport planning within the municipality structure of project city. The process has started during the PROSPERITY project however it will not be implemented by the end of the project.

2.5 Training(s) One regular four-day training for was organised in the project city of Hradec Králové for Czech cities. Another one-day extra training took place in Prague. Event Date Topic(s) Attendance Cities People Regular 2018-06-11 - Urban Transport Roadmaps 10 26 Training 14 tool Use of public space

Communication and stakeholder involvement of the new SUMP / measures Achieving political and internal buy-in Extra 2019-05-15 Urban Mobility Context & 8 18 training Principles - Basic Information on Urban Mobility for Local Politicians The main impact of the first training was an increase of capacities in specific SUMP topics in 10 already experienced cities. The second training attracted 8 cities and was focused preferably on newly elected politicians who are not oriented in urban mobility context yet. They were provided with basic information on sustainable urban mobility.

106

2.6 Other meetings and dissemination activities Several types of activities took place to promote SUMPs at national level: Meetings: - National SUMP Promo Events - annual national SUMP conference in own country (national training weeks are excluded). - Third-party Events - events with active participation (with own original content): presentation, leading a workshop, lecturing Dissemination: - Printed materials - publications released within CIVITAS PROSPERITY project - Media - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content - Digital promotion (2.0 media) - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content - Regular blogging – In terms of the PROSPERITY project a blog is represented as a dedicated section on the respective city website, on a respective national SUMP platform website, or on the CIVITAS PROSPERITY website. Regular blogging on own experience with the whole SUMP process (both, planning and implementation) by city representatives, experts and NFP in their own local language to encourage follower cities in the own country to become active. - News and case studies - news and case studies fed into the Mobility Plans Platform website

Detail overview of all types of activities and specific actions realised during the project can be found in Appendix of this report.

3 Legislative framework Currently, the SUMP is not legally defined in the Czech planning process. Discussions on this topic have been held since 2012 - 2013 when the Czech professionals became more familiar with the SUMP concept. Although the SUMP is not legally based, cities are strongly motivated to adopt it, especially thanks to the funding of implementation from the Operational Programme Transport (MoT) and the Integrated Operational Programme (MMR). As a result, in early 2019, most cities over 40,000 have elaborated and approved SUMP, or at least SUMF.

The current opinion of responsible ministry on the legislative framework The current situation, when SUMP is required to receive subsidies for transport measures, results in cities making SUMPs without being forced to do so by legislation. At the beginning of 2019 this situation is satisfactory from the point of view of the MoT, especially given that the SUMP is still a fresh and unsettled topic in the Czech Republic, when it is necessary to evaluate the first generation of SUMP, update the methodology for SUMP processing and set up quality and binding evaluation to other subsidy funds (e.g. SFDI). The issue of funding the SUMP and its enforcement process is not resolved if it is legally a mandatory planning tool.

107

As part of the preparation of the SUMP Programme, the possibility of legislative incorporation of the SUMP into the Building Act was consulted, namely at the Department of Spatial Planning, Department of Conceptual and Methodological MMR. The discussion showed that the SUMP as a strategy document (only) per segment - transport does not meet the requirements to become a spatial planning tool. One of the reasons is that not all transport measures proposed in the SUMP are projected into the land use plan, many of the measures are at organizational, procedural, financial, etc., ie non-territorial level (soft measures). Therefore, the attitude of not including SUMP in the system of land-use planning documents is currently in place; let SUMP be a basis, but not a spatial planning tool.

Long term horizon It is necessary to further discuss the issue of legislative framework and legalize it in the appropriate form of SUMP in order to play a significant and stable role in the future and to fulfil the ambitions stemming from this SUMP Programme. Experience from countries where SUMP is more and longer time established has shown that the SUMP framework is a natural and beneficial developmental SUMP level.

Even though the classic city strategic plan is not defined by legislation today, in the case of SUMP, this definition will be more urgent in the future if it is linked to specific expertise, work of urban mobility coordinators, funding and SUMP quality check.

In the long term the SUMP legislative framework can be the basis for further development of sustainable urban mobility planning which defines an organizational framework, minimum SUMP standards in terms of monitoring, evaluating and the quality check of plans as such. It can also be the basis for integrating this planning with other sectors, especially the environment. In addition, the law can provide a basis for stable SUMP funding from national sources and a reduction in dependence on EU resources.

The prospective process of preparation - whether the law is new (incl. assessing the possibilities and consequences of its introduction) or using any existing legal support - will be conducted by the Ministry of Transport in cooperation with the NTF. Cooperation with other sectors will be part of the process. The SUMP programme proposes regularly updated analysis of legislative grasp options.

4 Financing One of the objectives of the SUMP Programme is to secure funding for the elaboration and implementation of the SUMP of the current first generation, and especially the next generations. The purpose of the SUMP's systematic financial support is to reduce cities' dependence on insecure external resources, ideally to achieve a higher and more consistent level of SUMP quality and to encourage cities to implement the actions set out in the SUMP and their action plans, based on the established methodology and minimum standards for SUMPs and its specific parts.

108

Current state of SUMP funding Currently, most SUMPs (in terms of their elaboration, not implementation) are funded from the city's own resources. To a limited extent SUMPs are financed from external sources; either from the subsidy programmes of the Ministry of Environment (National Programme Environment, according to Call No. 9/2017, the contribution can reach up to CZK 1 million) or MPSV (Operational Programme Employment), or from other non-state grant programmes. The possibility of obtaining subsidies for the acquisition of SUMP is a great motivation for cities to elaborate them, and the only motivation for some cities. Some cities apply for the SUMP subsidy even when their priority is to obtain only a specific analysis or partial document (a transport model, sectoral strategies, etc.), and therefore lack motivation to develop and enact the rest of the SUMP.

Another great motivation for SUMP / SUMF, especially for larger cities is the need for approved SUMP / SUMF for the possibility of getting funds from the Operational Programme Transport (OPD) (exclusively for road infrastructure projects) and the Integrated Regional Operational Programme (IROP) (road, cycling and pedestrian infrastructure, construction and modernization of transfer terminals, support for low emission vehicles, telematic infrastructure, etc.). This implies a deeper focus of the plans on infrastructure projects than on efforts to change the mobility paradigm, as also highlighted in the Partnership for Urban Mobility Action Plan (2018). The question is how many cities would have elaborated SUMPs if the grant programmes were not in place, in particular for its elaboration.

Outlook for SUMP funding The main benefits of SUMP implementation are for the cities themselves, so in the future, they should fund the elaboration of mobility plans primarily from their own budgets with the possibility of a limited share of subsidies. The importance of SUMP for the city will continue to increase, compared to infrastructure measures, elaboration of the plan is not a significant cost item in the city´s budget. SUMP recommends revising subsidy programmes that will allow cities to receive SUMP co-financing. These subsidy programmes should (if applicants are cities that already have first generation SUMPs approved) take into account the quality of the previous SUMP and, where appropriate, its level of fulfillment. In the future it should not be possible to purchase the entire SUMP from grants without own contribution of the city. In terms of financing the implementation of SUMPs, cities are already very strongly motivated to elaborate SUMPs due to the possibility of getting subsidies for the implementation of infrastructure transport measures. It is desirable to extend this principle and to link SUMP with other subsidy programmes, eg MoE or SFDI. Compared to the current situation, in the future the support and funding of SUMPs and their implementation should be more focused on the essence of SUMPs and soft measures to stimulate sustainable mobility and increase urban skills in communication and public participation.

5 SUMP Promo Programme main outcome

In Czech conditions the main outcome of the project is creation of National Task Force, interest of its members to work behind the PROSPERITY project and elaboration of National SUMP Programme. Due to the training and national SUMP promo events (CIVINET CZ-SK conferences) the PROSPERITY project contributed to increase the knowledge of SUMPs among Czech cities which were in different levels of SUMP preparation, elaboration or implementation. The main impact of coachings was achieving of a consensus on the need to create a new department of transport planning within the municipality structure of project city. The process has started during the PROSPERITY project however it will not be implemented by the end of the project. NTF brought 5 ministries to one table to discuss a plan conditions of urban mobility future development. SUMP Programme is the first SUMP related national strategy which builds on detail analysis and problem description, it designed solutions, set responsibilities and compiled action plan. What worked well NTF was active and all participating ministries were willing to find strategies and measures for improvement the mobility situation in Czech cities. They all were active in SUMP Programme elaboration. What did not work well Cities involvement in events organised within the project was not as high as was thought at the project start. Municipal staff and local politicians are overloaded by work which was the reason for their lower attendance. Continuation of the SUMP promotion programme Promotion of the SUMP topic will continue beyond the PROSPERITY project, promotion activities are planned in SUMP Programme, all members of NTF are willing to continue to work regardless the end of the project.

Task Force meetings Six Task Force meetings were held during the project. The main points of the meeting were the analysis of the state of SUMPs in Germany , the intersection of the agenda of individual ministries about the topic of urban mobility and later the integration of the SUMPs or VEPs into a national agenda.. The NTF was/is an important part of Prosperity in Germany. Members of the NTF met on a regular basis and discussed different topics regarding SUMP as well as the progress on developing a National SUMP Support Programme for Germany. All the relevant Ministries and other important stakeholders were/are part of the NTF, which made the discussions within the NTF purposeful and valuable in content. Different proposals for a SUMP support programme have been elaborated and discussed. Therefore, the NTF is an important platform for further promoting the topic of SUMP in Germany. As different relevant stakeholders are participating, the NTF in Germany can strongly influence the further processes regarding sustainable mobility planning in Germany. More information can be found in Appendix.

2.2 National SUMP network

124

The buildup of enduring national networks on SUMPs was the central objective of previous ENDURANCE project. By term ‘National SUMP Network’ is meant a national network that actively supports its members in preparing and implementing Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. A National SUMP Network is hosted by one or several organisations, associations, networks etc. that would ensure a minimum level of Network activities during and beyond the ENDURANCE project. These networks were expected to:  foster a national policy and national support for SUMP  organise and develop information, training and training materials in the local language  facilitate national knowledge exchange between cities,  be the national contact point and thus channel and institutionalise the knowledge exchange on an international level  be able to provide support to cities and agglomerations even in adverse circumstances (e.g. economic slump, hostile political environment). The networks are there to encourage and support cities to engage in sustainable urban mobility planning and implementation, so close communication with cities and their activation was needed. For Germany, the "National Competence Network for Sustainable Urban Mobility" (NaKoMo) serves as a network for the broad field of sustainable mobility. The Difu, as NFP for Germany in the Prosperity project, contributed to the development of this network. NaKoMo was founded in April 2019 by the "Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure" (BMVI) and serves as a platform for all municipal issues relating to sustainable urban mobility. It provides information on existing funding opportunities for transport concepts, helps with the practical implementation of concepts and brings various participating partners into contact with each other. NaKoMo is supported by the BMVI and contributes to strengthening cooperation between the various federal levels in Germany and thus shaping future sustainable mobility.

2.3 Cities and their activation Interest of cities in SUMP and their involvement into the project is the key success factor. Specific tool for cities activation was developed in the Endurance project and is described in Roadmaps of the Endurance project (http://www.epomm.eu/endurance/index.php?id=2833, http://www.epomm.eu/docs/2250/D3_4_ENDURANCE_Report.pdf).

The city activation strategy was in particular designed for cities to join national existing or newly established SUMPs networks. As these networks have been already established in most of Prosperity countries within Endurance project, city activation is not needed any more in countries where national SUMP networks work well. For the rest of countries it is recommended to use the principles of it. It is relevant especially in Croatia and Cyprus which were not Endurance partners.

126

As of July 2019 there are 17 German cities listed on the country website2, 42 more were connected to present their VEP (Verkehrsentwicklungspläne). Cities active in SUMP can be found on ENDURANCE project website: http://www.epomm.eu/endurance

2.4 Other meetings and dissemination activities Several types of other activities took place to promote SUMPs at national level: Meetings: - National SUMP Promo Events - annual national SUMP conference in own country (national training weeks are excluded). - Third-party Events - events with active participation (with own original content): presentation, leading a workshop, lecturing Dissemination: - Printed materials - publications released within CIVITAS PROSPERITY project - Media - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content - Digital promotion (2.0 media) - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content - Regular blogging – In terms of the PROSPERITY project a blog is represented as a dedicated section on the respective city website, on a respective national SUMP platform website, or on the CIVITAS PROSPERITY website. Regular blogging on own experience with the whole SUMP process (both, planning and implementation) by city representatives, experts and NFP in their own local language to encourage follower cities in the own country to become active. - News and case studies - news and case studies fed into the Mobility Plans Platform website

3 Legislative framework

This chapter is made up of extract from the SUMP Programme of Germany.

Many German municipalities have up to date transport plans in place but they are quite different in terms of quality and content. During the last decades, there has frequently been a discussion between different experts on the field of mobility planning about the need of a legal binding framework for mobility plans in Germany. But so far, there is no such legal framework in place. Experiences from other countries or regions in the European Union, which already have a legal framework for mobility planning, show, that it can be an important step in the development and

2 http://www.epomm.eu/endurance/index.php?id=2809&country=de 127 stability of SUM planning. A legal framework for SUMPs in Germany could also strengthen the cross-sectoral integration of SUM planning. A legal framework for SUM planning in Germany is therefore desirable. At the moment, different possible solutions and proposals for a legal framework are under discussion in the NTF. Different potentials, challenges and barriers for the process of developing a framework must be identified and discussed. The following four considerations are possible ways for setting a legal framework for SUMPs and have emerged during the discussion in the NTF:  Federal law on emissions  Climate protection law  Building code  Road traffic law

4 Financial Resources and Other Incentives This chapter is made up of extract from the SUMP Programme of Germany.

There are many different ways of getting financial support for the preparation and implementation of SUMPs for German municipalities, e.g. EU funds or other national and regional funds. But so far, there is no actual funding scheme only for sustainable mobility planning in Germany, as most of the funding schemes in Germany only cover single measures or parts of the plan or the process of developing a SUMP. For example, the Urban Development Funding Programme or the Experimental Housing and Urban Development Programme (ExWoSt) can be used for financing mobility related measures. A survey on different aspects of the SUMP process in German municipalities, which was conducted by Difu within the PROSPERITY project, also showed that low financial resources are a problem with which many municipalities are confronted while preparing or implementing a SUMP. Therefore, one of the most important aspects of the National SUMP Support Programme is to ensure access to financial resources. The results of this survey as well as the results from the NTF and coaching events within the PROSPERITY project in the city of Kassel also led directly to adjustments of the “National Climate Protection Initiative” (NKI) in 2018. These adjustments comprise easier accessible funding for mobility concepts and mobility related measures for German municipalities and apply since January 2019. Members of the Difu, as the NFP for PROSPERITY in Germany, were immediately integrated in the process of adjustment and supported the push for easier access to funding for mobility concepts and measures. From now on, the funding for additional staff as well as climate protection concepts is merged into one focal point of support. This focal point of support is intended for the creation of a Climate Protection Concept with a focus on sustainable mobility by a so-called Climate Protection Manager. The concept should be developed within two years and afterwards the implementation phase will be initiated within another two years. This adjusted programme is the only funding programme in Germany where not only the implementation of the SUMP is financially supported but also the development of the concept.

128

Furthermore, a federal financial support programme for the preparation of mobility plans is currently under discussion in the NTF. 5 SUMP Promo Programme main outcome The PROSPERITY project led to a renewal of the "National Climate Protection Initiative". This renewal comprises easier accessible funding for mobility concepts and mobility related measures for German municipalities and applies since January 2019. Members of the Difu, as the NFP for PROSPERITY in Germany, were immediately integrated in the process of adjustment and supported the push for easier access to funding for mobility concepts and measures. Germany has a well-established urban transport planning framework that incorporates SUMPs (or equivalent document) with some support from the national/regional level; new support schemes were developed during the past years and other ones are still under preparation NTF helped to make SUMPs in Germany more popular and to show the importance of this topic. Relevant ministries as well as other stakeholders are working on possible supportive schemes for SUMPs. What worked well Difu organised National Events for the promotion of SUMPs, where different stakeholdes and employees of cities could learn important aspects about the SUM planning process. What did not work well The issue of Verkehrsentwicklungspläne (VEP) or Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMP) is still a topic for medium or big size cities in Germany. Despite the attempt to provide an appropriate agenda for small cities at the second annual national conference, it was hard to activate smaller municipalities. The lack of personnel and financial resources are main reasons for it. Continuation of the SUMP Programme Even after the end of the Prosperity project the NTF will keep on meeting. The Difu, as the NFP within Prosperity, will organise the meetings. Further meetings of the NTF are important to further the process of support for SUMP and all the participating members of the NTF agree on this point.

1 Introduction Promotion of SUMPs at national level is one of PROSPERITY objectives and a key activity for National Focal Points (NFPs) in project countries. In most of them the promotion has started during previous ENDURANCE project which created national SUMP networks, and activated cities to start with SUMP. The SUMP promotion programme includes activities, progress and milestones of the Task Force, national meetings and trainings (WP3 and WP4) and awareness raising activities. It also provides information on transfer of national frame conditions and financing and funding opportunities. This includes consideration of advantages and disadvantages of mandatory concepts/parts or directives.

2 SUMP Promo Programme main achievements This chapter provides an overview of main achievements that make up the SUMP Promo Programme. A basic overview is given in the text, more detailed information is provided in Appendix of this report.

2.1 Task Force The Task Force is the higher level ‘body’ that is committed to prepare the ground for the national SUMP programme, or to improve the existing programme. The Task Force should include and ideally be led by a governmental ‘higher level responsible’ for urban mobility. The Prosperity NFP’s have the task to start-up the Task Force (TF). There are 4 essentials to understand the Task Force (21) Governmental higher level body: the TF operates with the engagement of the national or higher level public authority that is responsible for sustainable (urban) mobility. The chair of the Task Force is ‘ideally’ the institute/person that has the decision making power. It might be the National Ministry of Transport or the Administration (sometimes also called ‘Department’) but when the referred competences are regionalised it might be another level institute. The task force however shouldn’t be defined institutionally/by law, in many countries this would take too much time. (22) Committed: means that the Task Force has tasks to do, and is not just an informal working group without clear objectives, targets and timing. Once again, this means that they ideally should have the power to decide amongst them. Being able to work efficiently, the group should be limited (see composition). (23) Prepare the ground for the national SUMPprogramme or to upgrade the existing one: is their main objective and task. This means however that – not whilst a strictly timing and purposeful agenda – in most countries it won’t be possible for the Task Force to obtain a fully elaborated and approved higher level framework programme within the duration of the Prosperity Project. The Road Map will report on the evolution and final status and will indicate steps how to continue beyond the Prosperity timing. (24) The national SUMP programme: the task is focussed on the development of a higher level policy framework for SUMP that might include institutional, legal and financial conditions and incentives to encourage and support cities in the development and implementation of high quality SUMPs. The national SUMP programme can become either a voluntary or regulatory (legal) framework.

Task Force meetings Three Task Force meetings were held during the project. The main points of the meetings were a preparation of National SUMP Programme, monitoring and evaluation scheme and methodological framework.

The creation of the TF was conditioned by the fact that there was a previous close relation between all parties involved. This eased its creation, but it is also true that its performance was a bit undermined by certain tendency to maintain the less formal and bilateral approach for communication between administrations over the broader and more institutional TF approach. Nevertheless, its formalization, as well as setting a clear goal and time-frame for the TF (updating the SUMP support programme within PROSPERITY) helped achieve the goal. The creation of working groups linked to the TF was of great help.

2.2 National SUMP network The buildup of enduring national networks on SUMPs was the central objective of previous ENDURANCE project. By term ‘National SUMP Network’ is meant a national network that actively supports its members in preparing and implementing Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. A National SUMP Network is hosted by one or several organisations, associations, networks etc. who would ensure a minimum level of Network activities during and beyond the ENDURANCE project. These networks were expected to:  foster a national policy and national support for SUMP  organise and develop information, training and training materials in the local language

145

 facilitate national knowledge exchange between cities,  be the national contact point and thus channel and institutionalise the knowledge exchange on an international level  be able to provide support to cities and agglomerations even in adverse circumstances (e.g. economic slump, hostile political environment). The networks are there to encourage and support cities to engage in sustainable urban mobility planning and implementation, so close communication with cities and their activation was needed.

It is open to please fill in if relevant /comment all municipalities in the Barcelona Region, accounting for 311

Since formal membership is not required it is difficult to have a clear idea of the impact of Xarxa Mobal. However the number of subscribers to its monthly e-bulletin can give an approximate idea to it. Currently there are 1.331 subscribers. Also, along 2018, the website accounted for 11.000 visitors, with 35.000 web pages visited.

2.3 Cities and their activation Interest of cities in SUMP and their involvement into the project is the key success factor. Specific tool for cities activation was developed in the Endurance project and is described in Roadmaps of the Endurance project (http://www.epomm.eu/endurance/index.php?id=2833, http://www.epomm.eu/docs/2250/D3_4_ENDURANCE_Report.pdf).

The city activation strategy was in particular designed for cities to join national existing or newly established SUMPs networks. As these networks have been already established in most of Prosperity countries within Endurance project, city activation is not needed any more in countries where national SUMP networks work well. For the rest of countries it is recommended to use the principles of it. It is relevant especially in Croatia and Cyprus which were not Endurance partners. As of June 2019 there are 12 cities listed on the Spanish country website, three of which corresponds to Catalonia. Also the Metropolitan Área of Barcelona is listed (consisting of 36 municipalities). Cities active in SUMP can be found on ENDURANCE project website: http://www.epomm.eu/endurance

2.4 Other meetings and dissemination activities Several types of other activities took place to promote SUMPs at national level: Meetings: - National SUMP Promo Events - annual national SUMP conference in own country (national training weeks are excluded). - Third-party Events - events with active participation (with own original content): presentation, leading a workshop, lecturing Dissemination: - Printed materials - publications released within CIVITAS PROSPERITY project - Media - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content - Digital promotion (2.0 media) - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content - Regular blogging – In terms of the PROSPERITY project a blog is represented as a dedicated section on the respective city website, on a respective national SUMP platform website, or on the CIVITAS PROSPERITY website. Regular blogging on own experience with the whole SUMP process (both, planning and implementation) by city representatives, experts and NFP in their own local language to encourage follower cities in the own country to become active. - News and case studies - news and case studies fed into the Mobility Plans Platform website Detail overview of all types of activities and specific actions realised during the project can be found in Appendix of this report.

3 Legislative framework Law 9/2003 on mobility in Catalonia defines the Urban Mobility Plans (UMPs) as the basic document for configuring sustainable mobility strategies at a municipal level. Its development is mandatory for all municipalities that, in accordance with local regulations or the corresponding master plan, must provide public transport services. In general, this means that every municipality of more than 50,000 inhabitants and the main municipality of each county are required to have a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP). In addition, all municipalities in the Barcelona Metropolitan Area with more than 20,000 inhabitants are also required to draw up a SUMP. The territorial scope of these plans is same as that of the municipality or, with the corresponding agreement of the relevant municipalities, that of several municipalities with an interdependent mobility scheme. The SUMPs must be updated every 6 years. From a hierarchical point of view, the SUMPs are subject to the National Mobility Guidelines (DNM, in local acronym), which act as a guiding framework for the application of mobility objectives in Catalonia as a whole, and the Mobility Master Plans (PDM, in local acronym), which make the territorial development of the DNMs a reality in the different areas into which it is divided. This hierarchical relationship means that the guidelines of the SUMPs must be aligned with the objectives of the PDMs in which they are framed, and that they must contribute to their

148 achievement. This has practical implications for defining their objectives and for their monitoring and evaluation. In short, this legislative framework draws a complex jurisdictional reality in which urban mobility is a fundamental competence of the town councils, but with direct bearing on a series of supra- municipal administrations, namely:  Department for Territory and Sustainability of the Generalitat de Catalunya (GENCAT)  Department for Roads and mobility of Diputació de Barcelona (DIBA)  Metropolitan Transport Authority of Barcelona (ATM), made up of 164 municipalities  Metropolitan Area of Barcelona (AMB) made up of 36 municipalities For its part, following the approval of the Mobility Law of Catalonia, Barcelona Provincial Council (DIBA) launched a programme to support the development of SUMPs, which provides financial support for their development, technical references and technical assistance during the process, as well as training for municipal technicians responsible for their implementation. Barcelona already has a legislative framework (facilitated by GENCAT) that quantitatively determines the scope of the SUMPs in Barcelona. There is also a support programme for SUMP development (offered by DIBA) that facilitates compliance with the specific objectives set by the Law. Therefore, there are no specific quantifiable objectives associated with the revision of DIBA's SUMP Support Programme, the updating of which is fundamentally aimed at qualitative aspects such as quality improvement and better SUMP monitoring, as reflected in the description of the general objectives.

4 Financing Traditionally, DIBA has provided financial support for the elaboration of SUMPs to those municipalities that request it through the so-called "Catalogue of services" of this organization (https://seuelectronica.diba.cat/tramits-ens/cataleg-de-serveis/default.asp, an on-line tool for the application and management of all types of services provided by DIBA). As in other territories with similar initiatives, the establishment of a stable framework of financial support has contributed significantly to the take up of SUMPs, with more and more municipalities having one (regardless of their obligatory nature). However, the SUMPs developed so far have not always managed to deploy their measures and meet the objectives with which they were drafted. This is often due to economic reasons. To help overcome this constraint, with this new SUMP Support Programme, DIBA will also provide financial support for the implementation of measures envisaged by the SUMPs.

Support for SUMP elaboration DIBA co-finances the elaboration of SUMPs in the municipalities of its territory. Interested municipalities can apply for this assistance, both for the elaboration of a new SUMPs and for the updating of existing ones. The level of co-financing varies according to the size of the municipality, according to these criteria:  Less than 1,000 inhabitants: exempt from the co-financing requirement (100% financing)

149

 1,000 - 5,000 inhabitants: 10% co-financing by the municipality  5,000 - 20,000 inhabitants: 20% co-financing by the municipality  20,000 - 50,000 inhabitants: 35% co-financing by the municipality  More than 50,000 inhabitants: 50% co-financing by the municipality

In DIBA's new SUMP support programme, this aid is maintained under the same conditions as in the past.

Support for the implementation of measures envisaged by SUMPs During 2018, DIBA has benefited from funds from the ERDP Operational Programme to provide financial support for the implementation of measures envisaged by SUMPs. As for the elaboration of the Plan, it is a co-financing scheme, up to a maximum of 50% of the cost of the measure, with a maximum limit of € 50,000. Measures have to be implemented within one year. It is, therefore, a scheme to finance measures of rapid implementation, which contribute to the visibility of the kind of changes pursued with the SUMP, and therefore strengthen the transforming strategy of the applicant municipality. Following the satisfactory assessment of the 2018 experience, within the framework of DIBA's new SUMP Support Programme, financial support to the implementation of measures will continue from 2019 on, now financed by DIBA's own funds. They are also processed through DIBA's "Catalogue of Services".

5 SUMP Promo Programme main outcome

Although promotion was already made before PROSPERITY and the project didn’t mean a significant change in this regard, the development of a SUMP Promo Programme provided some valuable outcomes, mostly through the creation of the Task Force.

The formalisation of cooperation prompted by the NTF contributes to a better coordination of stakeholders, making decision-making more efficient and, with it, improving the results of the different levels of mobility planning in Barcelona territory.

Roles distribution and responsibilities were already settled by the Catalonia Mobility Law. Hence there was no impact in this regard following PROSPERITY’s SUMP Promo Programme.

What worked well? Formalization of TF, as well as setting a clear goal and time-frame for the TF (updating the SUMP support programme within PROSPERITY) helped achieve the goal. The creation of working groups linked to the TF was of great help.

What did not work well? The fact that coordination between affected parties already existed before PROSPERITY (although based on non-formalised structures, whose main mechanism is the closeness and daily contact between the technicians responsible for each competent administration) made it difficult to “sell” the idea of the National Task Force meeting, which was initially perceived as unnecessary by some potential participants.

Continuation of the SUMP programme From a National perspective, DIBA is willing to maintain the NTF approach through the creation (in the medium/long term) of a "Mobility Forum” for Barcelona, in which the administrations with competences in mobility in Barcelona region periodically meet to discuss aspects such as: • Defining/updating of methodological approaches • New support needs for municipalities • Future challenges for mobility • Others From an International perspective, maintaining regular contacts with other HLG would be very helpful. On the one hand it would allow further discuss ways to improve quality of SUMPs. As well as will favour the exchange of experiences regarding the drivers and barriers encountered during the development of the SUMP support programmes elaborated within PROSPERITY.

Complementing the exchange at the HLG level with a programme for the exchange of experiences from first hand (i.e. exchange at the practitioner level), for instance, favouring the

151 participation of experts or practitioners from pioneering cities in workshops, seminars, etc. in the “importer” territory.

1 Introduction Promotion of SUMPs at national level is one of PROSPERITY objectives and a key activity for National Focal Points (NFPs) in project countries. In most of them the promotion has started during previous ENDURANCE project which created national SUMP networks, and activated cities to start with SUMP. The SUMP promotion programme includes activities, progress and milestones of the Task Force, national meetings and trainings (WP3 and WP4) and awareness raising activities. It also provides information on transfer of national frame conditions and financing and funding opportunities. This includes consideration of advantages and disadvantages of mandatory concepts/parts or directives.

2 SUMP Promo Programme main achievements This chapter provides an overview of main achievements that make up the SUMP Promo Programme. A basic overview is given in the text, more detailed information is provided in Appendix of this report.

2.1 Task Force The Task Force is the higher level ‘body’ that is committed to prepare the ground for the national SUMP programme, or to improve the existing programme. The Task Force should include and ideally be led by a governmental ‘higher level responsible’ for urban mobility. The Prosperity NFP’s have the task to start-up the Task Force (TF). There are 4 essentials to understand the Task Force (25) Governmental higher level body: the TF operates with the engagement of the national or higher level public authority that is responsible for sustainable (urban) mobility. The chair of the Task Force is ‘ideally’ the institute/person that has the decision making power. It might be the National Ministry of Transport or the Administration (sometimes also called ‘Department’) but when the referred competences are regionalised it might be another level institute. The task force however shouldn’t be defined institutionally/by law, in many countries this would take too much time. (26) Committed: means that the Task Force has tasks to do, and is not just an informal working group without clear objectives, targets and timing. Once again, this means that they ideally should have the power to decide amongst them. Being able to work efficiently, the group should be limited (see composition). (27) Prepare the ground for the national SUMPprogramme or to upgrade the existing one: is their main objective and task. This means however that – not whilst a strictly timing and purposeful agenda – in most countries it won’t be possible for the Task Force to obtain a fully elaborated and approved higher level framework programme within the duration of the Prosperity Project. The Road Map will report on the evolution and final status and will indicate steps how to continue beyond the Prosperity timing. (28) The national SUMP programme: the task is focussed on the development of a higher level policy framework for SUMP that might include institutional, legal and financial conditions and incentives to encourage and support cities in the development and implementation of high quality SUMPs. The national SUMP programme can become either a voluntary or regulatory (legal) framework.

Task Force meetings

Four Task Force meetings were held during the project. The main points of the meetings were the preparation of National SUMP Programme which is the main output of the Task Force's work. The structure of the NTF was successful because it consisted of individuals and organisation that were very devoted to a much stronger implementation of sustainable mobility measures in Croatia. The main focus was on higher educational organisations, NGOs and individuals that are active in sustainable development. The members used their won expertise and influence in the work of the group. Potential weakness of the group is potentially the lack of representatives of consultancy firms that could act as felicitators of the outputs. The number of participants at the meetings varied and the location of the meetings was different also, mainly because of the different locations where the experts are located.

165

2.2 National SUMP network

The Croatian SUMP network consists form the institutions that took part at the Croatian SUMP training that was held during March 2018. The institutions present at the event were actively involved in the training event and therefore joined the community of cities that are interested in promoting sustainable urban mobility planning. The network consist of 10 cities and three organisations.

2.3 Cities and their activation

Interest of cities in SUMP and their involvement into the project is the key success factor. Specific tool for cities activation was developed in the Endurance project and is described in Roadmaps of the Endurance project (http://www.epomm.eu/endurance/index.php?id=2833, http://www.epomm.eu/docs/2250/D3_4_ENDURANCE_Report.pdf). A modified diagram below offers the guidance for categorisation of cities (interested/uninterested in SUMP and advanced/less advanced in SUMP).

The city activation strategy was in particular designed for cities to join national existing or newly established SUMPs networks. As these networks have been already established in most of Prosperity countries within Endurance project, city activation is not needed any more in countries where national SUMP networks work well. For the rest of countries it is recommended to use the principles of it. It is relevant especially in Croatia and Cyprus which were not Endurance partners. As of June 2019, in Croatia, there are 10 cities involved in the national SUMP network.

Cities active in SUMP can be found on ENDURANCE project website: http://www.epomm.eu/endurance

2.4 Coaching’s

Three coaching’s were organised during the project in project city on various topics of SUMP.

Event Date Topic Attendance Cities People Coaching 1 19-20/03/2018 SUMP preparation process Dubrovnik 5 and parking Coaching 2 9-10/101/2018 SUMP tender preparation, Dubrovnik 5 SUMP's relation to other strategies and to short-term actions Coaching 3 14/12/2018 Good practice from other Dubrovnik 5 cities

The main impact of coaching’s was increasing the staff capacity of the City of Dubrovnik staff that was needed in order to prepare the city administration for the development and uptake of the City of Dubrovnik SUMP.

2.5 Training(s)

The training was organised in March 2018 in cooperation with the Slovenian partner. The reason for organising the joint training is the practicality of this type of endeavour, since it is much easier to gather this type of lecturers in one place and because the language barriers are not so emphasized. There was one training that was spread across five days. The location of the training was the City of Rovinj, a settlement in Istria that was both suitable for Croatian and Slovenian partners. The main impact of the training was an increase of capacities in specific SUMP topics in Croatian cities.

2.6 Other meetings and dissemination activities

Dissemination activities in the scope of this project were regular and had the effect of popularizing sustainable urban mobility planning in urban areas. The achievements and activities of the project were regularly promoted on the City of Koprivnica web page (www.koprivnica.hr) that would serve to inform the general population on the regional level and many of the news were disseminated on the CIVINET web page (https://civinet-slohr.eu/) which were focused on the national level. Another important channel was the web site of the Croatian association of cities (https://www.udruga-gradova.hr/).

3 Legislative framework

Croatia has adopted a number of policy documents that deal with the promotion of sustainable means of transport. The most important document is the Transport strategy of the Republic of Croatia for the period 2017 – 2030 where sustainability is an important factor, but not through the promotion of sustainable urban mobility plans, more with the promotion of particular measures that define sustainable transport; public transport, e-mobility and cycling. Other important documents (Strategies, policies etc…) that are supporting sustainable mobility are as follows; Republic of Croatia sustainable development strategy Republic of Croatia energy strategy Low carbon development strategy Link between all of these strategies is that they promote individual sustainability measures, like cycling, e-mobility, pedestrian traffic, public transport and similar but not the need for a single planning document that would incorporate all of these elements. In this moment, there is no intention for the development of an Act on sustainable mobility that would serve as a basis for the further development of SUM planning documents.

4 Financing

Financial resources for the implementation of sustainable mobility measures and planning are present in a number of supporting schemes that include EU and national sources. These are important elements of encouraging sustainable mobility measures, especially in the context of promoting sustainable mobility and climate change adaptation and mitigation policies and planning. Availability of financing sustainable mobility measures and planning documents is the key for successful promotion these activities. Croatian cities and municipalities have a number of possibilities for financing these. EU funds have been available, mainly through the

169 operational program “Competition and cohesion”, instruments of European territorial cooperation and direct EU funding programmes. Major instrument that Croatia has been using in supporting sustainable mobility is the Integrated Territorial Investments (ITI), funded mostly from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) mechanism where the all of the ITI areas, cities over 50000 inhabitants have given the possibility of developing sustainable planning documents and the financing of sustainable mobility measures. In the next programming period form 2021. – 2028. the number of ITI areas will increase, including cities with at least 35000 inhabitants, therefore increasing the possibility of fund more cities in Croatia. European territorial cooperation is an important tool for cities and municipalities that wish to fund SUM planning documents or measures deriving from these documents. These include following programs; Cross boarder cooperation program, Transnational cooperation program and Transregional cooperation program. Available programs for cross boarder cooperation are:

INTERREG V-A Italy Croatia 2014.-2020., INTERREG V-A Hungary Croatia 2014.-2020., INTERREG V-A Slovenia Croatia 2014.-2020. INTERREG IPA Croatia Bosnia and Herzegovina Montenegro 2014.-2020., INTERREG IPA Croatia Serbia 2014.-2020.,

Transregional cooperation programs: ESPON, INTERACT III INTERREG VC URBACT.

Transnational cooperation programmes:

INTERREG V-B Mediteran 2014.-2020., INTERREG V-B Dunav 2014.-2020., INTERREG V-B ADRION 2014.-2020. INTERREG Central Europe 2014.-2020.

National sources of financing include the funding from the Croatian fund for energy efficiency and environmental protection where funds are available for funding mostly e-mobility measures.

5 SUMP Promo Programme main outcome

One of the main outcomes of the SUMP Promo program was the increased interest of local communities in sustainable urban mobility planning. Also, the focus on transport professionals that should carry the activities of promoting sustainable mobility in cities and encouraging them to start with these kinds of activities was very important. The Prosperity projects and the activities that were held in Croatia gathered the interest of many Croatian cities and municipalities. The dissemination work that went through the above- mentioned dissemination channels got the main message of the SUMP idea closer to them. Unfortunately, the Ministry did not participate/take a leading role. The focus of the ministry at the start of the Prosperity project were strategic documents that were started in before the start of the Prosperity project and that were focused on regional planning. These documents were done under the EU programming period 2007 – 2014. And were an obligation set by the Croatian state and the EU. This refers particularly on regional mobility planning documents. Most of the staff working on strategic documents have been occupied by working on these documents. One more reason why the ministry could not take the lead in these activities was the fact that Croatia, as the youngest member of EU, had a hard transition period because it was involved in conducting obligations from the 2007 – 2014, planning for the 2014 – 2020 period and conducting the large-scale project that were in development. The lack of compulsory regulations set by the EU regarding sustainable urban development is making it hard to implement sustainable urban mobility measures and planning documents in the EU countries. This is especial visible in new EU countries, like Croatia, that still struggle with the first years in the EU and where the lack of expertise is evident. The best way to continue the development/implementation of the SUM program is to connect all the interested stakeholders in this process, from the government level to the business sector, in order to develop a critical mass of stakeholders that is needed for the successful implementation of the program.

1 Introduction Promotion of SUMPs at national level is one of PROSPERITY objectives and a key activity for National Focal Points (NFPs) in project countries. In most of them the promotion has started during previous ENDURANCE project which created national SUMP networks, and activated cities to start with SUMP. The SUMP promotion programme includes activities, progress and milestones of the Task Force, national meetings and trainings (WP3 and WP4) and awareness raising activities. It also provides information on transfer of national frame conditions and financing and funding opportunities. This includes consideration of advantages and disadvantages of mandatory concepts/parts or directives.

2 SUMP Promo Programme main achievements This chapter provides an overview of main achievements that make up the SUMP Promo Programme. A basic overview is given in the text, more detailed information is provided in Appendix of this report.

2.1 Task Force The Task Force is the higher level ‘body’ that is committed to prepare the ground for the national SUMP programme, or to improve the existing programme. The Task Force should include and ideally be led by a governmental ‘higher level responsible’ for urban mobility. The Prosperity NFP’s have the task to start-up the Task Force (TF). There are 4 essentials to understand the Task Force (29) Governmental higher level body: the TF operates with the engagement of the national or higher level public authority that is responsible for sustainable (urban) mobility. The chair of the Task Force is ‘ideally’ the institute/person that has the decision making power. It might be the National Ministry of Transport or the Administration (sometimes also called ‘Department’) but when the referred competences are regionalised it might be another level institute. The task force however shouldn’t be defined institutionally/by law, in many countries this would take too much time. (30) Committed: means that the Task Force has tasks to do, and is not just an informal working group without clear objectives, targets and timing. Once again, this means that they ideally should have the power to decide amongst them. Being able to work efficiently, the group should be limited (see composition). (31) Prepare the ground for the national SUMPprogramme or to upgrade the existing one: is their main objective and task. This means however that – not whilst a strictly timing and purposeful agenda – in most countries it won’t be possible for the Task Force to obtain a fully elaborated and approved higher level framework programme within the duration of the Prosperity Project. The Road Map will report on the evolution and final status and will indicate steps how to continue beyond the Prosperity timing. (32) The national SUMP programme: the task is focussed on the development of a higher level policy framework for SUMP that might include institutional, legal and financial conditions and incentives to encourage and support cities in the development and implementation of high quality SUMPs. The national SUMP programme can become either a voluntary or regulatory (legal) framework.

Task Force meetings Six Task Force meetings were held during the project. The main points of the meeting were the setting of a national SUMP supporting programme for the next EU programming period in the Hungary and finding responsible partners at each ministry, because now the SUMP has no distinct responsible person for sustainable urban mobility planning. The main output of the Task Force's work is the SUMP Programme and the commitment to the Task Force to continue its work beyond the PROSPERITY project e.g. updating the National SUMP guidelines based on the SUMP 2.0 2.2 National SUMP network The buildup of enduring national networks on SUMPs was the central objective of previous ENDURANCE project. By term ‘National SUMP Network’ is meant a national network that actively supports its members in preparing and implementing Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. A National SUMP Network is hosted by one or several organisations, associations, networks etc. who would ensure a minimum level of Network activities during and beyond the ENDURANCE project. These networks were expected to:  foster a national policy and national support for SUMP  organise and develop information, training and training materials in the local language  facilitate national knowledge exchange between cities,  be the national contact point and thus channel and institutionalise the knowledge exchange on an international level  be able to provide support to cities and agglomerations even in adverse circumstances (e.g. economic slump, hostile political environment).

181

The networks are there to encourage and support cities to engage in sustainable urban mobility planning and implementation, so close communication with cities and their activation was needed

In June 2019 - 12 cities were Magyar CIVINET network members. Since the PROSPERITY project started (September 2016), the total number of Hungarian network members increased from 6 to 12 members and other supporting members grew by 1 to 7.

182

2.3 Cities and their activation Interest of cities in SUMP and their involvement into the project is the key success factor. Specific tool for cities activation was developed in the Endurance project and is described in Roadmaps of the Endurance project (http://www.epomm.eu/endurance/index.php?id=2833, http://www.epomm.eu/docs/2250/D3_4_ENDURANCE_Report.pdf). A modified diagram below offers the guidance for categorisation of cities (interested/uninterested in SUMP and advanced/less advanced in SUMP). interested in interested in SUMP network/SUMP improvement SUMP network/SUMP improvement 1 2

The city activation strategy was in particular designed for cities to join national existing or newly established SUMPs networks. As these networks have been already established in most of Prosperity countries within Endurance project, city activation is not needed any more in countries where national SUMP networks work well. For the rest of countries it is recommended to use the principles of it. It is relevant especially in Croatia and Cyprus which were not Endurance partners. In summer 2019 there are 14 Hungarian cities listed on the country website, however not all are members of the national SUMP network. Cities active in SUMP can be found on ENDURANCE project website: http://www.epomm.eu/endurance

2.4 Coachings Three coachings were organised during the project in project city on various topics of SUMP.

Event Date Topic Attendance Cities People Coaching 1 2018-01-24 Communication and 1 9 stakeholder involvement Coaching 2 2018-06-17 SUMP objectives, measures, 1 11 and the set of monitoring and evaluation indicators Coaching 3 2019-01-30 Sustainable Urban Logistic 1 10 Plans

The main impact of coachings was to train the members of the city hall while implementing their 1st SUMP on active and continuous communication, to monitor and evaluate their implementation progress and to look ahead and deal more intensively with urban logistics in every day operation and to incorporate them into the SUMP revision that is due in few years.

2.5 Training(s) One regular four-day training for was organised in the project city of Szeged for the Hungarian. Another one-day extra training took place in Budapest following the 2nd national promo event.

Extra training 2018-11-21 Political buy-in 10 17 The main impact of the first training was an increase of capacities in specific SUMP topics in 14 cities that have SUMP or for those that still haven’t had any. The second training attracted 10 cities and was focused preferably on one specific topics to help the municipal staff members to transfer well the message about the importance of the sustainable mobility to the decision- makers.

184

2.6 Other meetings and dissemination activities Several types of other activities took place to promote SUMPs at national level: Meetings: - National SUMP Promo Events - annual national SUMP conference in own country (national training weeks are excluded). - Third-party Events - events with active participation (with own original content): presentation, leading a workshop, lecturing Dissemination: - Printed materials - publications released within CIVITAS PROSPERITY project - Media - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content - Digital promotion (2.0 media) - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content - Regular blogging – In terms of the PROSPERITY project a blog is represented as a dedicated section on the respective city website, on a respective national SUMP platform website, or on the CIVITAS PROSPERITY website. Regular blogging on own experience with the whole SUMP process (both, planning and implementation) by city representatives, experts and NFP in their own local language to encourage follower cities in the own country to become active. - News and case studies - news and case studies fed into the Mobility Plans Platform website

Detail overview of all types of activities and specific actions realised during the project can be found in Appendix of this report.

3 Legislative framework Sustainable urban mobility planning, as a mode of planning is currently not defined in Hungarian regulations. In the Hungarian context there are predecessors of sustainable urban mobility plans, although they are different in different cities. One of those predecessors is the transport concept that cities could create as a policy connected to the urban development concept in accordance with Act XXI of 1996 on Regional Development and Regional Planning and its implementing legislation. Compared to the transport concept, the sustainable urban mobility plan has a different focus (focusing on the people, residents instead of infrastructure and traffic). It is created as a result of a wide-spread participatory process, which requires more time. Another difference is the assessment and prioritization of the project proposals based also on cost- benefit aspects, resulting in a concrete action plan. By definition, the sustainable urban mobility plan is created for functional urban areas. In many cities (especially in smaller towns), however, there have been no predecessors to strategic planning in the area of transport for a long time.

185

4 Financing The current direction of the SUMP National Task Force is to establish a roadmap and incorporate the SUMP financing into the 2021-27 programming period in order to finance SUMP update for higher quality, financing of measures to implement the plans, and monitoring and evaluation activities too. Providing for the Financial Sources of Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning

The following proposals can be made in connection with the financial sources of planning:  Calls before the beginning of the next EU programming cycle (even by using the possible remaining funds from the current cycle) dedicated to sustainable urban mobility planning (not competing with infrastructural investments), or directly at the very beginning of the next 7-year cycle (1,5-2 years), separated in time from the infrastructural developments to be planned. o The quantity of available funds can depend on the size of the city and the size of the surrounding functional urban area or micro-region. o Cities with existing sustainable urban mobility plans should be provided with funding for the regular revision of the existing plan, and not for the creation of new plans.  Offering extra points in the assessment guidelines of other relevant infrastructural grants for local governments, if they apply for the creation of a sustainable urban mobility plan in addition to the main activity, or if they have an up-to-date sustainable urban mobility plan. The Role of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans in the Financing of the Implementation of Measures

The following proposals can be made in connection with the financing of and incentives for implementation:  Existing and up-to-date sustainable urban mobility plan as a prerequisite for the receiving of EU or national funds.  A proper chronology should be established for the planning of the sustainable urban mobility plan (strategy) and the projects, so that they can be built upon one another. The grant-based creation and the revision of sustainable urban mobility plans should precede the selection and the detailed preparation of the projects to be implemented. It is essential that these are coordinated within the bodies preparing the calls, for instance between the body responsible for sustainable urban mobility planning and the ministry responsible for the national budget. Accordingly: o Planning should fit into the process of urban development planning. o Before the beginning of the next EU programming cycle (even by using the possible remaining funds from the current cycle), or directly at the very beginning of the next 7-year cycle (in the first one or two years) a separate call should be made for co-financing sustainable urban mobility planning (see the sub-chapter above). Since in the beginning of the cycle the selection of projects is usually not completed yet, the task is not to ground projects in the preparation or implementation phase, and therefore, the relevant methodology and the desired quality can be better guaranteed. It is also easier and faster to prepare the call, compared to more complex and bigger projects.

186

The local governments should be informed from the beginning that existing and up-to-date sustainable urban mobility plans will be the prerequisite to the future support for the measures. It is advisable to make the call open for the entire programming cycle in order to provide for the creation of new sustainable urban mobility plans and the regular revision of existing plans. o The publication of calls for infrastructural projects is proposed to be conducted only afterwards. When making decisions about the funding of projects, it is advisable to consider the content of the sustainable urban mobility plan, but at least its existence should be a prerequisite for the granting of funds. Therefore, the implementation of the projects can be realized in the second half of the programming cycle. (Projects of national significance do not have to be based on SUMPs, but on national strategies; for the SUMPs they are to be regarded as inputs.) o Instead of two calls built on one another, it is also possible to make a two-step call as defined above (first step: sustainable urban mobility plan; second step: detailed preparation and implementation of the project).

5 SUMP Promo Programme main outcome In Hungarian conditions the main outcome of the project is creation of National Task Force, interest of its members to work behind the PROSPERITY project and elaboration of National SUMP Programme. Due to the training and national SUMP promo events (and Magyar CIVINET events) the PROSPERITY project contributed to increase the knowledge of SUMPs among Hungarian cities which were in different levels of SUMP preparation, elaboration or implementation. The NTF brought together many relevant ministries to one table to discuss how the government could support local governments. The draft version of the National SUMP Programme was elaborated, the ways to put into practice are under investigation. What worked well? NTF was active and all participating ministries were willing to find ways to promote SUMP and measures for improvement the mobility situation in Hungarian cities. They ideas have been involved in the draft National SUMP programme during the co-creation process. What did not work well? Municipal experts have very limited capacities to participate such events. Moreover, the decision-makers do no always support them. Less new citites were engaged during the project, however, the ones got engaged are really devoted. Continuation of the SUMP promotion programme Promotion of the SUMP topic will continue beyond the PROSPERITY project, promotion activities are planned in SUMP Programme, all members of NTF are willing to continue to work regardless the end of the project.

1 Introduction Promotion of SUMPs at national level is one of PROSPERITY objectives and a key activity for National Focal Points (NFPs) in project countries. In most of them the promotion has started during previous ENDURANCE project which created national SUMP networks, and activated cities to start with SUMP. The SUMP promotion programme includes activities, progress and milestones of the Task Force, national meetings and trainings (WP3 and WP4) and awareness raising activities. It also provides information on transfer of national frame conditions and financing and funding opportunities. This includes consideration of advantages and disadvantages of mandatory concepts/parts or directives.

2 SUMP Promo Programme main achievements This chapter provides an overview of main achievements that make up the SUMP Promo Programme. A basic overview is given in the text, more detailed information is provided in Appendix of this report.

2.1 Task Force The Task Force is the higher level ‘body’ that is committed to prepare the ground for the national SUMP programme, or to improve the existing programme. The Task Force should include and ideally be led by a governmental ‘higher level responsible’ for urban mobility. The Prosperity NFP’s have the task to start-up the Task Force (TF). There are 4 essentials to understand the Task Force (33) Governmental higher level body: the TF operates with the engagement of the national or higher level public authority that is responsible for sustainable (urban) mobility. The chair of the Task Force is ‘ideally’ the institute/person that has the decision making power. It might be the National Ministry of Transport or the Administration (sometimes also called ‘Department’) but when the referred competences are regionalised it might be another level institute. The task force however shouldn’t be defined institutionally/by law, in many countries this would take too much time. (34) Committed: means that the Task Force has tasks to do, and is not just an informal working group without clear objectives, targets and timing. Once again, this means that they ideally should have the power to decide amongst them. Being able to work efficiently, the group should be limited (see composition). (35) Prepare the ground for the national SUMPprogramme or to upgrade the existing one: is their main objective and task. This means however that – not whilst a strictly timing and purposeful agenda – in most countries it won’t be possible for the Task Force to obtain a fully elaborated and approved higher level framework programme within the duration of the Prosperity Project. The Road Map will report on the evolution and final status and will indicate steps how to continue beyond the Prosperity timing. (36) The national SUMP programme: the task is focussed on the development of a higher level policy framework for SUMP that might include institutional, legal and financial conditions and incentives to encourage and support cities in the development and

199

implementation of high quality SUMPs. The national SUMP programme can become either a voluntary or regulatory (legal) framework.

Task Force meetings Three Task Force meetings were held during the project. The main points of the meetings were a preparation of National SUMP Programme. The main output of the Task Force's work is the National SUMP Programme. During the last Task Force meeting was decided to integrate Task force into already existing National SUMP Commission which will continue work related to the National SUMP Programme beyond the PROSPERITY project.

2.2 National SUMP network The buildup of enduring national networks on SUMPs was the central objective of previous ENDURANCE project. By term ‘National SUMP Network’ is meant a national network that actively supports its members in preparing and implementing Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. A National SUMP Network is hosted by one or several organisations, associations, networks etc. who would ensure a minimum level of Network activities during and beyond the ENDURANCE project. These networks were expected to:  foster a national policy and national support for SUMP  organise and develop information, training and training materials in the local language  facilitate national knowledge exchange between cities,

200

 be the national contact point and thus channel and institutionalise the knowledge exchange on an international level  be able to provide support to cities and agglomerations even in adverse circumstances (e.g. economic slump, hostile political environment). The networks are there to encourage and support cities to engage in sustainable urban mobility planning and implementation, so close communication with cities and their activation was needed

In June 2019 twenty Lithuanian cities developed their SUMP’s and were involved in SUMP network which is coordinated by LT Transport Ministry. Since the PROSPERITY project started (September 2016), the total number of Lithuanian SUMP network members increased from 13 to 20 members with almost 1,5 mln. Inhabitants, which is about 50% of total inhabitants of Lithuania. 2.3 Cities and their activation Interest of cities in SUMP and their involvement into the project is the key success factor. Specific tool for cities activation was developed in the Endurance project and is described in Roadmaps of the Endurance project (http://www.epomm.eu/endurance/index.php?id=2833, http://www.epomm.eu/docs/2250/D3_4_ENDURANCE_Report.pdf).

The city activation strategy was in particular designed for cities to join national existing or newly established SUMPs networks. As these networks have been already established in most of Prosperity countries within Endurance project, city activation is not needed any more in countries where national SUMP networks work well. For the rest of countries it is recommended to use the principles of it. It is relevant especially in Croatia and Cyprus which were not Endurance partners. As of June 2019 the biggest majority of Lithuanian cities with more than 20 thousands inhabitants joined SUMP, except one.

2.6 Other meetings and dissemination activities Several types of other activities took place to promote SUMPs at national level: Meetings: - National SUMP Promo Events - annual national SUMP conference in own country (national training weeks are excluded). - Third-party Events - events with active participation (with own original content): presentation, leading a workshop, lecturing Dissemination: - Printed materials - publications released within CIVITAS PROSPERITY project - Media - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content - Digital promotion (2.0 media) - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content - Regular blogging – In terms of the PROSPERITY project a blog is represented as a dedicated section on the respective city website, on a respective national SUMP platform website, or on the CIVITAS PROSPERITY website. Regular blogging on own experience with the whole SUMP process (both, planning and implementation) by city representatives, experts and NFP in their own local language to encourage follower cities in the own country to become active. - News and case studies - news and case studies fed into the Mobility Plans Platform website

Detail overview of all types of activities and specific actions realised during the project can be found in Appendix of this report.

3 Legislative framework This chapter is made up of extracts from the Lithuanian Programme for Development of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. During the recent years of intense and successful SUM planning development in Lithuania, it has been recognized that the key factor of the breakthrough of SUM planning is the legal framework. MoTC is responsible for SUM planning in Lithuania and in 2015, Minister of MoTC has adopt National SUMP Guidelines, which recommend to prepare SUMP for cities with over 25,000 inhabitants or having a resort status. The experience of countries that are more advanced in SUM planning also indicates that legislation is an important step in the development and stability of SUM planning and could contribute to less dependence of SUM planning in Lithuanian on EU financing and initiatives. Legislation can also strengthen cross-sectoral integration in SUM planning in long term perspective. The National SUMP Guidelines is the basis for SUM planning development. It delineates the organizational framework, SUM planning process. It will also serve as the basis for integrating SUM planning with other sectors, especially the spatial and environmental and will define the relationship between SUM planning and strategic spatial planning in municipalities and its role in spatial planning, environmental protection and other sectors. In 2019, National SUMP

205

Guidelines will be updated and supplemented with minimal SUM planning standards and set monitoring and evaluation and quality assessment schemes. 4 Financing This chapter is made up of extracts from the Lithuanian Programme for Development of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. Experience from more developed countries shows that a successful National SUMP Programme requires stable and clearly defined financial and other support schemes. Financial resources (EU and national) are an important element of implementing SUM planning. European resources have emerged as the main motivation for kick-starting SUM planning in many countries; the further comprehensive system of support for municipalities can be achieved by countries deploying their own resources. Financial Incentives The current financial incentives for SUM planning in Lithuania are mostly based on cohesion funding for sustainable mobility. The Cohesion Fund (CF) is financing the preparation of SUMPs and implementation of measures for sustainable mobility in cities (promoting public transport, integration of non-motorised vehicles, trip structure by modes of transport, traffic safety and security, improvement of traffic organisation and mobility management, urban logistics, promoting universality of the transport system and including people with special needs, promoting intelligent transport systems). A smaller portion of the road safety, cycling and pedestrian infrastructure funding is also guaranteed from the national Road maintenance and development program, which could potentially become a permanent source of financing more SUM planning activities in Lithuania. One potential political ‘hot potato’ is the subject of road tax. The MoTC has not ruled out looking into this possible form of income especially as countries move towards supporting the principle of ‘polluter pays’. Income from any road tax is planned to use for financing of bicycle infrastructure near the national roads, but in the future perspective this could be as a resource for promoting of sustainable mobility issues. Other Forms of Incentives A number of incentives and mechanisms will be implemented that will stimulate the interest in SUM planning in municipalities and responsible bodies at the national level (media channels, conferences, annual events, etc.). Smaller municipalities with limited financial and staff resources for SUM planning will be encouraged to network and collaborate with other municipalities for SUMP development.

5 SUMP Promo Programme main outcome

There is a well-established urban transport planning framework that incorporates SUMPs , fully supported from the national/regional level with most of the following elements: a legal definition, national guidance on SUMPs, monitoring and evaluation, trainings etc.; Draft of SUMP development programme was elaborated and will be developed within next year. As a result of Ministry representative participation in Prosperity activities, Ministry of Transport developed a promotional campaign for SUMP at national level. Also efforts to create stronger cooperation between national authorities in sustainable transport management was taken and annual National Conference for local authorities is planned to organize every year. A recommendations to develop academic modules on specific SUMP areas of knowledge such as mobility management, parking policy linked to urban space design, economic benefits of sustainable mobility and transport etc, were given to academic society. NTF brought 3 ministries to one table to discuss the future development of urban mobility. SUMP Programme will enable Lithuanian Transport Ministry to play a leading role to ensure constant solutions for sustainable mobility. What worked well? Training and exchange within the project has substantially helped the staff of the Ministry of Transport to become more confident and in some areas, more capable. Also connections and contacts have been made which will last beyond the project lifespan. What did not work well? Cities involvement in events organised within the project was not as high as was thought at the project start. It was expected more politicians or high level municipal administration representatives. Unfortunately, municipal administration and local politicians are overloaded by work which was the reason for their lower attendance. Overall assessment of SUMP Programme People: In the last few years, the political support for sustainable urban mobility development here in LT has been high. We now have top political decision makers who have bought into the benefits of developing SUMPs – including the Minister himself. Around him there is a good, young team of specialists and experts and it is important for the Ministry of Transport and Communications to keep these within the SUMP department. Policy: Although we now have policy in place that guides the largest cities in LT in making and implementing their SUMP, this policy is very much based on, and decided by what comes out of the European Commission. In fact if it wasn’t for the EU White Paper on sustainable mobility, and the provision of funding in the 2014-2020 LT Operational Programme, I don’t believe LT would be at the position we are now in with SUMP development. So, we need to make sure that our politicians are constantly made aware of EC policy and how to implement it and to incorporate it into our own national policy. Practice: Related to both of the above, we need to keep cities interested in learning about SUMP developments in other cities. PROSPERITY has been good for LT for this reason; that we have managed to get our policy makers engaged with other policy makers from other cities in other EU countries, as well as inviting experts here to LT. Somehow we must try to get our

207 cities involved in EU projects on sustainable transport and mobility, most probably through partnerships with other cities perhaps from PROSPERITY. Continuation of the SUMP Programme Key factors for the continuation of the SUMP Programme: • Regular meetings of National SUMP Commission (NTF will be integrated in it) with LT Ministry of Transport • Promotion of EU and other international events on sustainable transport and mobility to our cities / PROSPERITY network members • Continued thematic workshops on the nine themes that make up the SUMP guidelines in LT • Cooperation on national campaigns for road safety

1 Introduction Promotion of SUMPs at national level is one of PROSPERITY objectives and a key activity for National Focal Points (NFPs) in project countries. In most of them the promotion has started during previous ENDURANCE project which created national SUMP networks, and activated cities to start with SUMP. The SUMP promotion programme includes activities, progress and milestones of the Task Force, national meetings and trainings (WP3 and WP4) and awareness raising activities. It also provides information on transfer of national frame conditions and financing and funding opportunities. This includes consideration of advantages and disadvantages of mandatory concepts/parts or directives.

2 SUMP Promo Programme main achievements This chapter provides an overview of main achievements that make up the SUMP Promo Programme. A basic overview is given in the text, more detailed information is provided in Appendix of this report.

2.1 Task Force The Task Force is the higher level ‘body’ that is committed to prepare the ground for the national SUMP programme, or to improve the existing programme. The Task Force should include and ideally be led by a governmental ‘higher level responsible’ for urban mobility. The Prosperity NFP’s have the task to start-up the Task Force (TF). There are 4 essentials to understand the Task Force (37) Governmental higher level body: the TF operates with the engagement of the national or higher level public authority that is responsible for sustainable (urban) mobility. The chair of the Task Force is ‘ideally’ the institute/person that has the decision making power. It might be the National Ministry of Transport or the Administration (sometimes also called ‘Department’) but when the referred competences are regionalised it might be another level institute. The task force however shouldn’t be defined institutionally/by law, in many countries this would take too much time. (38) Committed: means that the Task Force has tasks to do, and is not just an informal working group without clear objectives, targets and timing. Once again, this means that they ideally should have the power to decide amongst them. Being able to work efficiently, the group should be limited (see composition). (39) Prepare the ground for the national SUMPprogramme or to upgrade the existing one: is their main objective and task. This means however that – not whilst a strictly timing and purposeful agenda – in most countries it won’t be possible for the Task Force to obtain a fully elaborated and approved higher level framework programme within the duration of the Prosperity Project. The Road Map will report on the evolution and final status and will indicate steps how to continue beyond the Prosperity timing. (40) The national SUMP programme: the task is focussed on the development of a higher level policy framework for SUMP that might include institutional, legal and financial conditions and incentives to encourage and support cities in the development and implementation of high quality SUMPs. The national SUMP programme can become either a voluntary or regulatory (legal) framework.

Task Force meetings Four Task Force meetings were held during the project. The main points of the meeting were a preparation of National SUMP Programme, elaboration of legal and institutional conditions. TF Group consisted of representatives of NFP, Ministry of Infrastructure, City of Katowice and external expert Dr. Marcin Wołek. In the final phase of the project, the TF team was joined by representatives of the Ministry of Investment and Development, the Centre for EU Transport Projects and Jaspers. In total, four meetings were held within the TF Group. The composition 235 of the staff was sufficient to carry out the tasks. Special attention should be paid to taking the leading role and chairmanship of the group by the Ministry of Infrastructure. At TF meetings, in addition to the implementation of the basic tasks related to the development of the SUMP Program, current issues related to the implementation of the project Prosperity were agreed and discussed. The greatest success of TF Group was to agree on the final version of the national SUMP guide prepared by NFP SMG, which was officially presented by the Deputy Minister of Infrastructure at the 3rd SUMP Promo event, in which participated about 140 representatives of local government, scientific and industry environments. The meetings of the TF working group will be continued after the completion of the Prosperity project within the framework of the working group officially appointed by the Minister of Infrastructure, enlarged by experts representing the scientific community and representatives of cities. The main task of the TF group will be to implement the provisions of the SUMP Promo program. The main output of the Task Force's work is the SUMP Programme and the commitment to the Task Force to continue its work beyond the PROSPERITY project. One of the main other outputs was the National SUMP Guidebook, prepared with all members of the Task Force, under the leading role of NFP Poland.

2.2 National SUMP network The buildup of enduring national networks on SUMPs was the central objective of previous ENDURANCE project. By term ‘National SUMP Network’ is meant a national network that actively supports its members in preparing and implementing Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. A National SUMP Network is hosted by one or several organisations, associations, networks etc. who would ensure a minimum level of Network activities during and beyond the ENDURANCE project. These networks were expected to:  foster a national policy and national support for SUMP  organise and develop information, training and training materials in the local language  facilitate national knowledge exchange between cities,  be the national contact point and thus channel and institutionalise the knowledge exchange on an international level  be able to provide support to cities and agglomerations even in adverse circumstances (e.g. economic slump, hostile political environment). The networks are there to encourage and support cities to engage in sustainable urban mobility planning and implementation, so close communication with cities and their activation was needed

In June 2019 - 16 of 38 (42%) of all Polish cities over 100.000 inhabitants were network members. Since the PROSPERITY project started (September 2016), the total number of Polish network members increased from 22 to 26 members.

2.3 Cities and their activation Interest of cities in SUMP and their involvement into the project is the key success factor. Specific tool for cities activation was developed in the Endurance project and is described in Roadmaps of the Endurance project (http://www.epomm.eu/endurance/index.php?id=2833, http://www.epomm.eu/docs/2250/D3_4_ENDURANCE_Report.pdf). A modified diagram below offers the guidance for categorisation of cities (interested/uninterested in SUMP and advanced/less advanced in SUMP). interested in interested in SUMP network/SUMP improvement SUMP network/SUMP improvement 1 2

The city activation strategy was in particular designed for cities to join national existing or newly established SUMPs networks. As these networks have been already established in most of Prosperity countries within Endurance project, city activation is not needed any more in countries where national SUMP networks work well. For the rest of countries it is recommended to use the principles of it. It is relevant especially in Croatia and Cyprus which were not Endurance partners. As of June 2019 there are 22 Polish cities listed on the country website. Cities active in SUMP can be found on ENDURANCE project website: http://www.epomm.eu/endurance

The main impact of coachings was a big progress in integrated mobility planning across the complex urban region of which the City of Katowice is a key part. Coach Prof Tom Rye of Edinburgh Napier University explained how many sustainable urban mobility measures for the Silesian Metropolitan Region, such as integrated transport and land use planning or a common PT operator require joint working between cities. This helped the City of Katowice to convince the board of Silesian Metropolis to prepare a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan for the region. 2.5 Training(s) One regular four-day training was organised in the project city of Katowice. Another two-day extra training took place in Warsaw.

The second training attracted 16 cities and was focused on mobility plans, experiences in implementing logistics-oriented measures and political buy-in and public space use. 2.6 Other meetings and dissemination activities Several types of other activities took place to promote SUMPs at national level: Meetings: - National SUMP Promo Events - annual national SUMP conference in own country (national training weeks are excluded). - Third-party Events - events with active participation (with own original content): presentation, leading a workshop, lecturing Dissemination: - Printed materials - publications released within CIVITAS PROSPERITY project - Media - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content - Digital promotion (2.0 media) - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content - Regular blogging – In terms of the PROSPERITY project a blog is represented as a dedicated section on the respective city website, on a respective national SUMP platform website, or on the CIVITAS PROSPERITY website. Regular blogging on own experience with the whole SUMP process (both, planning and implementation) by city representatives, experts and NFP in their own local language to encourage follower cities in the own country to become active. - News and case studies - news and case studies fed into the Mobility Plans Platform website

Detail overview of all types of activities and specific actions realised during the project can be found in Appendix of this report.

3 Legislative framework The CIVITAS PROSPERITY project has recognised that the development and stability of this planning approach will need to be integrated into the legal framework and that it will be necessary to develop a certain legal basis for SUMP planning in Poland. The experience of countries that are more advanced in SUMP planning also shows that legislation is an important step in the development and sustainability of SUMP planning and can contribute to reducing the dependence of SUMP planning in Poland on funding and EU initiatives. Legislation can also strengthen cross-sectoral integration in SUMP planning. 4 Financing The programme envisages efforts to include financing for the development and implementation of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans within the Infrastructure Operational Programme and

241

Environment. Infrastructure and Environment Programme 2014-2020 is the largest programme funded by the European Commission from the European Funds not only in Poland, but also in the European Union. The main areas to which funds are transferred are: low-carbon economy, environmental protection, combating and adaptation to climate change, transport and energy security, health protection and cultural heritage. Thanks to the balance between infrastructure investment activities and support targeted at selected areas of the economy, the programme will effectively implement the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy, to which its main objective is linked - to support a resource-efficient and environmentally friendly economy that is conducive to territorial and social cohesion. As at the date of completion of this report, due to the high level of Programme allocation, it is not possible to allocate directly the financial resources of the Infrastructure and Environment Operational Programme for financing the process of preparing SUMP documents by local governments. However, other activities are undertaken to support local governments and to link the sources of funding for other activities with the implementation of SUMP.

5 SUMP Promo Programme main outcome In Polish conditions the main outcome of the project is creation of National Task Force, interest of its members to work behind the PROSPERITY project and elaboration of National SUMP Programme. One of the main other outputs was the National SUMP Guidebook, prepared with all members of the Task Force, under the leading role of NFP Poland. Due to the training and national SUMP promo events the PROSPERITY project contributed to increase the knowledge of SUMPs among Polish cities which were in different levels of SUMP preparation, elaboration or implementation. The main impact of coachings was a big progress in integrated mobility planning across the complex urban region of which the City of Katowice is a key part. Coach Prof Tom Rye of Edinburgh Napier University explained how many sustainable urban mobility measures for the Silesian Metropolitan Region, such as integrated transport and land use planning or a common PT operator require joint working between cities. This helped the City of Katowice to convince the board of Silesian Metropolis to prepare a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan for the region. NTF brought 2 ministries to one table to discuss a plan conditions of urban mobility future development. SUMP Programme is the first SUMP related national strategy which builds on detail analysis and problem description, it designed solutions, set responsibilities and compiled action plan. What worked well? Thanks to early contacts between NFP and ministry, the Task Force was constitued without major issues. During the lifetime of the project, ministries gained more awareness and knowledge about SUMP. The representative of ministry was constantly engaged in the project workflow, including participation in the international exchange workshops What did not work well? There were no major barriers, only some related to availability of certain TF members for meetings attendance and continuous work on tasks. Continuation of the SUMP promotion programme

242

The continuation of the SUMP promo programme in Poland will take place within the framework of further meetings of the working group officially established by the Ministry. The established working group will deal with detailed development and implementation of the solutions described in the SUMP Programme, which were not implemented within the time horizon of the Prosperity project.

1 Introduction Promotion of SUMPs at national level is one of PROSPERITY objectives and a key activity for National Focal Points (NFPs) in project countries. In most of them the promotion has started during previous ENDURANCE project which created national SUMP networks, and activated cities to start with SUMP. The SUMP promotion programme includes activities, progress and milestones of the Task Force, national meetings and trainings (WP3 and WP4) and awareness raising activities. It also provides information on transfer of national frame conditions and financing and funding opportunities. This includes consideration of advantages and disadvantages of mandatory concepts/parts or directives.

2 SUMP Promo Programme main achievements This chapter provides an overview of main achievements that make up the SUMP Promo Programme. A basic overview is given in the text, more detailed information is provided in Appendix of this report.

2.1 Task Force The Task Force is the higher level ‘body’ that is committed to prepare the ground for the national SUMP programme, or to improve the existing programme. The Task Force should include and ideally be led by a governmental ‘higher level responsible’ for urban mobility. The Prosperity NFP’s have the task to start-up the Task Force (TF). There are 4 essentials to understand the Task Force (41) Governmental higher level body: the TF operates with the engagement of the national or higher level public authority that is responsible for sustainable (urban) mobility. The chair of the Task Force is ‘ideally’ the institute/person that has the decision making power. It might be the National Ministry of Transport or the Administration (sometimes also called ‘Department’) but when the referred competences are regionalised it might be another level institute. The task force however shouldn’t be defined institutionally/by law, in many countries this would take too much time. (42) Committed: means that the Task Force has tasks to do, and is not just an informal working group without clear objectives, targets and timing. Once again, this means that they ideally should have the power to decide amongst them. Being able to work efficiently, the group should be limited (see composition). (43) Prepare the ground for the national SUMPprogramme or to upgrade the existing one: is their main objective and task. This means however that – not whilst a strictly timing and purposeful agenda – in most countries it won’t be possible for the Task Force to obtain a fully elaborated and approved higher level framework programme within the duration of the Prosperity Project. The Road Map will report on the evolution and final status and will indicate steps how to continue beyond the Prosperity timing. (44) The national SUMP programme: the task is focussed on the development of a higher level policy framework for SUMP that might include institutional, legal and financial conditions and incentives to encourage and support cities in the development and implementation of high quality SUMPs. The national SUMP programme can become either a voluntary or regulatory (legal) framework.

Task Force meetings The Portuguese NTF incorporated representatives from the NFP, the cities, the two major metropolitan areas and the National municipalities association. The Ministerial representation was delegated on the NFP. The choice of including a small number of members that represent a large number of cities contributed to build consensus on the actions adopted, without hindering the knowledge dissemination.

Four Task Force meetings were held during the project. The main points of the meeting were: the organization of the national meetings; the organization of the training sessions; the major obstacles for SUMP in Portugal and how to overcome them; the preparation of the National SUMP Programme; the future of the Task Force beyond Prosperity. The main output of the Task Force's work is the SUMP Programme Proposal and the commitment to the Task Force to continue its work beyond the PROSPERITY project. The SUMP Programme Proposal foresees that the NTF can become a Programme Task Force (PTF) to coordinate the implementation of the Programme throughout its validity.

The NTF provided a space to discuss the major actions needed to promote SUM change in Portugal and acted as an multi-level (national/regional/local) Advisory Board to all events organized during Prosperity project, namely the Training Sessions, the National SUMP meetings and the SUM dissemination actions. As such, many of the actions developed during Prosperity project were the result of a close collaboration between members of the NTF (e.g. 1st National SUMP Meeting organized with city of Lisbon; 2nd National SUMP Meeting organized with the metropolitan area of Porto; SUM dissemination actions organized with the city of Lisbon).

253

2.2 National SUMP network The buildup of enduring national networks on SUMPs was the central objective of previous ENDURANCE project. By term ‘National SUMP Network’ is meant a national network that actively supports its members in preparing and implementing Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. A National SUMP Network is hosted by one or several organisations, associations, networks etc. who would ensure a minimum level of Network activities during and beyond the ENDURANCE project. These networks were expected to:  foster a national policy and national support for SUMP  organise and develop information, training and training materials in the local language  facilitate national knowledge exchange between cities,  be the national contact point and thus channel and institutionalise the knowledge exchange on an international level  be able to provide support to cities and agglomerations even in adverse circumstances (e.g. economic slump, hostile political environment). The networks are there to encourage and support cities to engage in sustainable urban mobility planning and implementation, so close communication with cities and their activation was needed

2.3 Cities and their activation Interest of cities in SUMP and their involvement into the project is the key success factor. Specific tool for cities activation was developed in the Endurance project and is described in Roadmaps of the Endurance project (http://www.epomm.eu/endurance/index.php?id=2833, http://www.epomm.eu/docs/2250/D3_4_ENDURANCE_Report.pdf).

SUMP network/SUMP improvement SUMP network/SUMP improvement

The city activation strategy was in particular designed for cities to join national existing or newly established SUMPs networks. As these networks have been already established in most of Prosperity countries within Endurance project, city activation is not needed any more in countries where national SUMP networks work well. For the rest of countries it is recommended to use the principles of it. It is relevant especially in Croatia and Cyprus which were not Endurance partners.

At the end of Endurance, the Portuguese network of cities was constituted by 22 cities, and 9 of those cities signed a letter of intent to support CIVITAS PROSPERITY. Throughout the project 19 new cities become a part of the network by attending on national SUMP meeting or participating on the training sessions. In 2019 the II Clean Mobility Survey, a national Survey directed to all municipalities and carried out by the NFP, included a question for the municipalities to express whether they wanted to become part of the National SUMP network, and 89 new cities expressed their will to join the network and designated a contact point. This survey data is still being worked, and these cities are still not enlisted on the ENDURANCE project website, but these new contacts will be challenged, on future contacts, to proceed to that enlistment.

The cities that are most active in SUMP are encouraged to send their data to the NFP for publication on the ENDURANCE project website: http://www.epomm.eu/endurance

2.4 Coachings Three coachings were organised during the project, in Lisbon, on various topics of SUMP.

Event Date Topic Attendance Cities People Coaching 1 2018-03-21 General SUMP notions 1 35 (Concept; Cycle; First Steps) Analysis of Lisbon’s mobility situation Coaching 2 2018-06-20 Lisbon SUMP 1 7 Coaching 3 2018-10-18 Tendering for Lisbon’s SUMP 1 5

The main impact of coaching was to promote an integrated vision on the SUMP that Lisbon is developing. The first session contributed significantly to this objective, by allowing the different department and services of the municipality (including the local police), the external services that work closely with the municipality (like the Municipal Energy and Environment Agency) and the main public Transport operator (Carris) to get to know the basic concepts of an SUMP and understand their role and their expected contribution to the development of Lisbon’s SUMP.

256

The second and third sessions were smaller sessions, focused on specific themes/issues raised by Lisbon’s SUMP team, related with its SUMP developing process and addressed on a joint discussion format together with the coach and the NFP (and, on the last session, the Deputy Mayor for Mobility). The main theme debated during these two sessions was the creation of the technical framework of a tender for supporting the development of Lisbon’s SUMP.

2.5 Training(s) One regular five-day training was organised in the project city of Lisbon. Another one-day extra training took place in Porto.

The main impact of the first training was an increase of capacities in four different specific SUMP topics in 14 cities. The second training attracted 12 cities and was focused preferably on the urban transport roadmaps tools. The network opportunities between technicians form different municipalities but with (often) the same problems was also one of the key benefits from the training sessions.

2.6 Other meetings and dissemination activities Several types of other activities took place to promote SUMPs at national level: Meetings: - National SUMP Promo Events - annual national SUMP conference in own country (national training weeks are excluded). - Third-party Events - events with active participation (with own original content): presentation, leading a workshop, lecturing Dissemination: - Printed materials - publications released within CIVITAS PROSPERITY project - Media - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content

257

- Digital promotion (2.0 media) - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content - Regular blogging – In terms of the PROSPERITY project a blog is represented as a dedicated section on the respective city website, on a respective national SUMP platform website, or on the CIVITAS PROSPERITY website. Regular blogging on own experience with the whole SUMP process (both, planning and implementation) by city representatives, experts and NFP in their own local language to encourage follower cities in the own country to become active. - News and case studies - news and case studies fed into the Mobility Plans Platform website

Detail overview of all types of activities and specific actions realised during the project can be found in Appendix of this report.

3 Legislative framework In 2019, Portugal presented the National Climate Energy Plan (PNEC), increasing the ambition to reduce the national GHG transport emissions, by 2030. The PNEC raises the former 2030 target, of 26% GHG transport emissions reduction (from 2005), to 40% GHG transport emissions reduction. This higher ambition comes hand-in-hand with the past three years update of several different aspects of the sustainable mobility legislative framework (decentralization of public transport management/creation of local transport authorities, creation of the Public Transport Fund, and regulations for transport-on-demand, shared mobility and the support program for fare reduction) although the adoption of SUMP remains non mandatory and no specific regulation for SUMP was issued during this period. Simultaneously, sbtween 2016 and 2019, CIVITAS PROSPERTY promoted the reflection on how the national sustainable mobility planning should be adapted to the evolving legislative framework, by providing several opportunities to debate and exchange best practices between stakeholders. The National Task Force, that includes designated representatives from the Vice Minister for Environment and Mobility, from IMT, from the Metropolitan Areas of Lisbon and Porto, from the National Portuguese Municipalities Association (ANMP) and from the Municipality of Lisbon, met four times to debate the measures to promote sustainable mobility planning in Portugal. The National Meetings on Sustainable Mobility Planning, held in Lisbon (September 2018) and Porto (May 2019) gathered, each, more than 50 participants, mostly from municipalities, CIMs and AMs, and provided an exchange of experiences as well as the conciliation of different visions and objectives between the different stakeholders that promote sustainable mobility planning. Finally, the PROSPERITY SUMP Trainings, carried out in Lisbon (4 days - October 2018) and Port (1/2 day – May 2019) allowed five sustainable mobility experts to share their knowledge with more than 65 trainees for more than 35 different cities. The recommendations that emerged from the above-mentioned debates contributed to the formulation of the National SUMP Programme Proposal, a document produced by IMT, that synthetizes the participation experience on CIVITAS PROSPERTY project for the past three years, and presents a proposal for the promotion of sustainable mobility planning in the period of 2019-2024.

258

The Programme is intended to be submitted, for consideration, to the Vice Minister for Environment and Mobility, in July 2019.

4 Financing In the past, the Portuguese Energy Efficiency Fund supported the elaboration of sustainable mobility planning, by financing the development of PMTs. At the same time, the access to Portugal 2020 Operational Regional Programmes required the adoption of SUMAPs. The allocation of direct funding to SUMPs elaboration is seen as a primary action to promote SUMPs and EU intervention can be important by increasing the financial support to SUMPs. The ongoing negotiations for the European regional funding framework after 2020 will determine much of the financial resources to promote SUMPs elaboration during that period. It is important to stress that the National Investment Programme 2021-2030 foresees important investments in sustainable mobility - without directly associating the investments to a mandatory SUMP - such as the expansion of Lisbon’s and Porto’s subway networks (1.065M€), the development of the public transport system (1.015M€), the promotion of electric mobility (360M€), the decarbonisation of urban freight logistics (450M€), the expansion of the national cycling network (300M€) and the promotion of urban multimodality (200M€). Sustainable mobility planning will be decisive to ensure the coordination of these set of measures and the PTF will promote the importance of sustainable mobility planning as a framework for the investments foreseen in the National Investment Programme. Finally, the recently created Public Transport Fund, although mainly targeted at empowering transport authorities and improving the transport system, also shares sustainability objectives and might promote specific sustainable mobility actions that will benefit the transport system efficiency, such as flexible transport planning.

5 SUMP Promo Programme main outcome In Portugal the main outcomes of the project are the elaboration of the National SUMP Programme Proposal, the creation of the National Task Force, and the contacts provided by the National SUMP Network that allowed, for instance the organization of the 1st and 2nd Sustainable Mobility Surveys (answered, in both cases, by more than 120 cities).

The two trainings and the two National Meeting on Sustainable Mobility Planning promoted by CIVITAS PROSPERITY project contributed to increase the knowledge of SUMPs among Portuguese cities and to share experiences and densify the network of technical contacts between mobility experts from different cities. The main impact of the coaching sessions was the support to the development of Lisbon’s SUMP, namely by being able to bring together different departments and services from the municipality. Lisbon’s SUMP is scheduled to be concluded in 2021. The NFP participation on CIVITAS PROSPERITY provided an intense exchange of experiences between national, regional and local entities that play a role on SUMP. This exchange of experiences has provided the bases for the NFP to begin an internal reflection on the update of the Portuguese Mobility Package.

260

What worked well? The collaboration between the NFP and the other members of the NTF, providing a joint organization of almost all events promoted during the CIVITAS PROSPERITY project. The training sessions registered a high participation from cities and the training evaluations were very good. What did not work well? The ministry delegated its NTF participation on the NFP. Continuation of the SUMP programme If the National SUMP Programme Proposal is approved, the National Task Force members will be invited to form the Programme Task Force (PTF) that will coordinate the implementation of the Programme throughout its validity (2019-2024). The PTF intends to hold Programme Coordination meetings twice a year.

1 Introduction Promotion of SUMPs at national level is one of PROSPERITY objectives and a key activity for National Focal Points (NFPs) in project countries. In most of them the promotion has started during previous ENDURANCE project which created national SUMP networks, and activated cities to start with SUMP. The SUMP promotion programme includes activities, progress and milestones of the Task Force, national meetings and trainings (WP3 and WP4) and awareness raising activities. It also provides information on transfer of national frame conditions and financing and funding opportunities. This includes consideration of advantages and disadvantages of mandatory concepts/parts or directives.

2 SUMP Promo Programme’s main achievements This chapter provides an overview of main achievements that make up the SUMP Promo Programme. A basic overview is given in the text, more detailed information is provided in Appendix of this report.

2.1 The SUMP national Task Force (TF) as understood in the framework of Civitas PROSPERITY The SUMP national Task Force is the higher level ‘body’ that is committed to prepare the ground for the national SUMP programme, or to improve the existing programme. It should include and ideally be led by a governmental ‘higher level responsible’ for urban mobility. The Prosperity NFP- s have the task to start-up the TFs. There are 4 essentials to understand the TF: (45) Governmental higher level body: the TF operates with the engagement of the higher level (national or regional) public authority that is responsible for sustainable (urban) mobility. The chair of the Task Force is ‘ideally’ the institution/person that has the decision making power. It might be the National Ministry of Transport or the Administration (sometimes also called ‘Department’), but when the referred competences are regionalised, it might be another level institute. The task force however shouldn’t be defined institutionally/by law, in many countries this would take too much time. (46) Committed: means that the TF has tasks to do, and is not just an informal working group without clear objectives, targets and timing. Once again, this means that ideally this body should have the power to decide amongst them. Being able to work efficiently, the group should be limited (see composition). (47) Prepare the ground for the national SUMP programme or to upgrade the existing one: is their main objective and task.This means however that – not whilst a strictly timing and purposeful agenda – in most countries it won’t be possible for the TF to obtain a fully elaborated and approved higher level framework programme within the duration of the Prosperity Project. The Road Map will report on the evolution and final status and will indicate steps how to continue beyond the Prosperity timing. (48) The SUMP national programme: the task is focussed on the development of a higher level policy framework for SUMP that might include institutional, legal and financial

277

conditions and incentives to encourage and support cities in the development and implementation of high quality SUMPs. The SUMP national programme can become either a voluntary or regulatory (legal) framework.

Task Force meetings In Romania, four Task Force meetings were held during the project time, prepared and complemented by numerous online exchanges. The discussions and contributions referred to the following main aspects: - The identification of the recurrent problems related to the SUMP that need to be solved - The distinction of the principal strong points and levels that could be enhanced / used in order to improve the level of adoption and the efficacy of the SUMPs - The preparation, content and promotion of the SUMP national programme - The funding scheme for the SUMP and the SUMP programme - The monitoring and evaluation of the SUMPs (criteria, indicators, tools, responsible bodies etc) - The preparation and accreditation of urban mobility/SUMP experts and the involvement of the Universities in the SUMP process - The methodological framework and legislative changes needed

The NTF proved to be very successful. It gathers various profiles and points of view and helped to create a comprehensive picture of the actual situation and improvement possibilities. It also benefited from the presence and support of the Regional Development Ministry that should adopt the SUMP National programme. Its main weakness is given by the fact that it has not a dedicated funding allocated (fact making difficult the face to face meetings as well as its promotion). The NFP initiated and organised the activity of the NTF, but its resources being very limited it is going to be even more difficult to support this activity on an exclusively voluntary basis after the finalisation of Civitas PROSPERITY. 2.2 SUMP National network

279

The build up of sustainable national networks on SUMPs was the central objective of previous ENDURANCE project. By ‘National SUMP Network’ term is meant a national network that actively supports its members in the preparation and implementation of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. A National SUMP Network is hosted by one or several organisations, associations, networks etc. that ensure a minimum level of Network activities during and beyond the ENDURANCE project. These networks were expected to:  foster a national policy and national support for SUMP  organise and develop information, training and training materials in the local language  facilitate national knowledge exchange between cities,  be the national contact point and thus channel and institutionalise the knowledge exchange on an international level  be able to provide support to cities and agglomerations even in adverse circumstances (e.g. economic slump, hostile political environment). The networks are there to encourage and support cities to engage in sustainable urban mobility planning and implementation, so close communication with cities and their activation was needed.

280

Since the PROSPERITY project started (September 2016), the total number of Romanian network members trebled. Furthermore, new entities like universities, public transport companies, urban mobility NGOs and consultancy companies joined supporting it through their contributions.

281

2.3 Cities and their activation Interest of cities in SUMP and their involvement into the project is the key success factor. Specific tool for cities activation was developed in the Endurance project and is described in Roadmaps of the Endurance project (http://www.epomm.eu/endurance/index.php?id=2833, http://www.epomm.eu/docs/2250/D3_4_ENDURANCE_Report.pdf). A modified diagram below offers the guidance for categorisation of cities (interested/uninterested in SUMP and advanced/less advanced in SUMP). interested in interested in SUMP network/SUMP improvement SUMP network/SUMP improvement 1 2

The city activation strategy was in particular designed for cities to join national existing or newly established SUMPs networks. As these networks have been already established in most of Prosperity countries within Endurance project, city activation is not needed any more in countries where national SUMP networks work well. For the rest of countries it is recommended to use the principles of it. It is relevant especially in Croatia and Cyprus which were not Endurance partners. During Civitas PROSPERITY, 11 new Romanian city files and 2 updated ones have been prepared for being published on the ENDURANCE website. Furthermore, 5 additional ones are going to be delivered until the end of the project (August 31st). City files (including in each case the contact details of the persons responsible with urban mobility issues and SUMP) are available on the ENDURANCE project website at: http://www.epomm.eu/endurance

2.4 Coachings Threecoachings were organised during the project in project city on various topics of SUMP.

Event Date Topic Attendance Cities People Coaching 1 06.02.2018 Correlation, communication Făgăraș 8 and implementation of SUMP measures & Parking management Coaching 2 23.04.2018 The optimisation of SUMP Făgăraș 7 for small and medium size + informal cities; coaching session street design & on the occasion participative processes of the training Coaching 3 21.01.2019 the organisation and Făgăraș 8 implementation urban mobility campaigns & the involvement of various stakeholders for supporting urban mobility measures

A. the 1st coaching session had as major themes: 1. the correlation, communication and implementation of measures included in the SUMP 2. parking management It was meant to support the optimisation of the 3 projects for which Fagaras asked for funding in the framework of the Regional Operational Programme and the presentation of Fagaras on the occasion of the RPOSPERITY training in April

B. the 2nd coaching session benefited from the presence of Vitoria Gasteiz’s representative, Mr. Juan Carlos Escudero and referred to: 1. the optimisation of SUMP for small and medium size cities; 2. street design and 3. participative processes It supported the implementation, work with and periodical actualisation of the SUMP.

C. the 3rd coaching session focused on: 1. the organisation and implementation urban mobility campaigns meant to promote sustainable urban transport, public transport and non-polluting means of transport (walking, cycling etc.) 2. the involvement of various stakeholders for supporting urban mobility measures So that to help Făgăraș in the preparation and implementation of the actions in the European Mobility Week in correlation with and for the promotion of the measures included in the SUMP as well as in the preparation of the applications for various related awards like the EMW Award.

283

Furthermore, a general overview was made on the contribution of Făgăraș to Civitas PROSPERITY, how the local administration used the input from the project and which benefits / outcomes it got from its involvement. This coaching session ended with a general discussion regarding the possible continuation of activities and the maximisation of the positive impact of the project by using its results to support the sustainable development of Făgăraș. The main impact of coaching session was that they provided a better understanding of the SUMP philosophy and fostered regular communication and exchanges on urban mobility issues between the representatives of various departments as well as between political decision makers and technicians. 2.5 Training(s) One four-day training was organised in Romanian city of Brasov. Event Date Topic(s) Attendance Cities People Regular 2018-04 The SUMP and its framework and 19 28 Training – 24-27 support measures in Romania and its associated SUMP National taskforce Urban Transport Roadmaps tool

Communication and stakeholder involvement SUMP for small and medium size cities The use of public space and SUMP Good practices from the champion city Sint Niklaas The Superblocks scheme and the SUMP of the Champion City Vitoria Gasteiz Good practices from the champion city Sint Niklaas SUMP good practices from Romania (Turda – European SUMP award 2017, Făgăraș, Oradea, Reghin) According to the trainees’ declarations (collected immediately after the training and about one year after, spring 2019), due to its tailor-made (informed and shaped depending on the preliminary comprehensive survey on the situation and needs in the field in Romania) and interactive character, the training improved the SUMP knowledge and capacities of Romanian cities and experts. It fostered the diffusion of best practices in the field and strengthened exchanges between the various levels of public administration as well as between different related sectors and between peers (at technical and political level).

284

2.6 Other meetings and dissemination activities Several types of other activities took place to promote SUMPs at national level: Meetings: - National SUMP Promo Events - annual national SUMP conference in own country (national training weeks are excluded). - Third-party Events - events with active participation (with own original content): presentation, leading a workshop, lecturing Dissemination: - Printed materials - publications released within CIVITAS PROSPERITY project - Media - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content - Digital promotion (2.0 media) - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content - Regular blogging – In terms of the PROSPERITY project a blog is represented as a dedicated section on the respective city website, on a respective national SUMP platform website, or on the CIVITAS PROSPERITY website. Regular blogging on own experience with the whole SUMP process (both, planning and implementation) by city representatives, experts and NFP in their own local language to encourage follower cities in the own country to become active. - News and case studies - news and case studies fed into the Mobility Plans Platform website

Detail overview of all types of activities and specific actions realised during the project can be found in Appendix of this report.

3 Legislative framework In Romania, the content and approval procedure of the urban planning and spatial development documents including the ones for the SUMPs are detailed in the implementation guide adopted through the Order of MDRAP Minister no. 233/2016 following the revision of the urban planning and spatial development low no 350/2001 through the law 190/2013. The Order of MDRAP Minister no. 233/2016 officially regulated for the first time the SUMP as compulsory chapter of the General Urban Plan (GUP). This first step has ensured the shift from the mobility planning practice through traffic studies meant to substantiate urban planning and spatial development to participatory and integrative planning in which the role of monitoring and evaluation of the effects of the applied measures becomes determinant in setting priorities for action as well as for the promotion and financing of investments. However, this legislative framework provides no procedures regarding the monitoring and evaluation of the SUMPs or their correlation with different instruments in related fields such as energy efficiency, prevention of and adaptation to climate changes or the reduction of negative effect in (earthquake, flooding landslide, avalanche, etc.) risk areas. Therefore, new adaptations are needed in order to better follow the European policy guidelines and legislative best practices in the field. The aim is to allow the balanced development of all kind of settlements by also considering the national context and the variety of particular situations, besides the general European framework and recommendations in the field.

285

4 Financing The preparation, implementation and revision of the SUMPs, and especially its corresponding monitoring and evaluation processes are necessitating large amounts of money and complex practical activities of data collection and management. Therefore, their funding implies the design of multiple sources financial mechanisms. Positive results are conditioned by financing the entire SUMP process (including its implementation and monitoring), not only its preparation and promotion phase. The complex financing mechanism proposed through the SUMP national programme refers to the integrated funding of those instruments together with the energy efficiency plans, the ones for risk prevention and the ones for climate change adaptation. The preparation of the first SUMP in compliance with the European Commission methodology (for the 8 growth poles + the capital, Bucharest) was funded from European money (through the Regional Operational Programme 2007-2017). The existence of approved PMUDs is already a prerequisite for obtaining European source funding for infrastructure. Some other categories of localities besides growth poles, obtained funds under the 2013 - 2020 Regional Operational Program (ROP) amounting to 2.3 billion Euros. However, many lower-ranking localities have funded their SUMPs from local money and stakeholder participation, and plan to undergo further qualification stages for obtaining European money for their implementation.

The SUMP National Program has to be included among the priorities of the 2020-2027 phase EU funding, especially with regard to the preparation and implementation of the functional / metropolitan area SUMPs and of the ones for medium and small sized cities in correlation with spatial development and configuration (urban planning and spatial development) and Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAP). The 2013 - 2020 EU funds can provide punctual funding for various measures through thematic sector or research - innovation sources such as CIVITAS, INTERREG, Horizon 2020, Urban Innovative Actions, URBACT, cross-border programs or DANUBE. Small towns with limited funding opportunities will be encouraged and financially supported by the program to participate in partnerships with medium and large cities and municipalities.

The SUMP national programme’s general framework and funding mechanism will be provided by the Ministry for Regional Development in close collaboration with Ministry of Finance and Ministry for European Funds associating all available governmental and European funding.

A full package for the entire program period will seek to identify all possible sources and provide funding for the priority actions of the approved documentation in conjunction with the GUP and SEAP 2020-2030 and will include monitoring, evaluation and updating tools and activities.

286

5 SUMP Promo Programme main outcome The SUMP national programme initiated and promoted through Civitas PROSPERITY promoted a project culture shift defining new responsibilities, more clear roles and adapted indicators. The numerous international exchanges enabled through it offered valuable inspiration, motivating people at various levels to assume a role in the SUMP preparation, promotion and implementation. Under the influence of PROSPERITY, the Regional Development Agencies (and especially the Centre one directly involved in the international exchanges) started to assume a more powerful role in the preparation and promotion of the general SUMP national framework. They participated actively in the meetings of the SUMP NTF providing valuable insights from the territory and contributing to the drafting of the dedicated national programme.

What worked well? The training and coaching sessions, webinars and experience exchanges provided in this context led to the diversification of the SUMP better adapted to the local and national specificieties and needs. The NTF proved to be very successful. It gathers various profiles and points of view and helped to create a comprehensive picture of the actual situation and improvement possibilities. It also benefited from the presence and support of the Regional Development Ministry that should adopt the SUMP National programme.

What did not work well? The lack of compulsory regulations set by the EU regarding sustainable urban development is making it hard to implement sustainable urban mobility measures and planning documents in the EU countries. This is especially visible in new EU countries, like Romania, that still lack of expertise. The main weakness of the NTF is given by the fact that it has not allocated a dedicated funding (fact making difficult the face to face meetings as well as its promotion). The NFP initiated and organised the activity of the NTF, but its resources being very limited it is going to be even more difficult to support this activity on an exclusively voluntary basis after the finalisation of Civitas PROSPERITY.

Facilitation of continued development of National SUMP Programmes Maintenance of the NTF as an urban mobility exchange platform and advising body enabling the communication between the various governance levels and sectors for the optimization of the effectiveness of SUMPs as operational tools;  Increased focus on the livelong monitoring and evaluation of the SUMPs with a more clear framework and identification of the competencies of the experts able to carry out this process;  Definition of a national level body in charge with the management of the SUMP National programme;  Associated funding scheme for the SUMP National programme;

287

 Public national level evidence on the state of the art in the urban mobility field and SUMP adoption and implementation;  Integration of the various urban management measures in various fields (urban mobility, land use, energy efficiency and climate change adaptation) into an unitary plan / 3D model

The entire process of adoption of the SUMP national programme could be optimised and accelerated if a special guideline or recommendation or request / condition would be formulated at European level in this sense. If there is not a higher level obligation to provide a framework, even if everybody agrees on its necessity, importance and high utility, it is not going to become a priority so easily.

1 Introduction Promotion of SUMPs at national level is one of PROSPERITY objectives and a key activity for National Focal Points (NFPs) in project countries. In most of them the promotion has started during previous ENDURANCE project which created national SUMP networks, and activated cities to start with SUMP. The SUMP promotion programme includes activities, progress and milestones of the Task Force, national meetings and trainings (WP3 and WP4) and awareness raising activities. It also provides information on transfer of national frame conditions and financing and funding opportunities. This includes consideration of advantages and disadvantages of mandatory concepts/parts or directives.

2 SUMP Promo Programme main achievements This chapter provides an overview of main achievements that make up the SUMP Promo Programme. A basic overview is given in the text, more detailed information is provided in Appendix of this report.

2.1 Task Force The Task Force is the higher level ‘body’ that is committed to prepare the ground for the national SUMP programme, or to improve the existing programme. The Task Force should include and ideally be led by a governmental ‘higher level responsible’ for urban mobility. The Prosperity NFP’s have the task to start-up the Task Force (TF). There are 4 essentials to understand the Task Force (49) Governmental higher level body: the TF operates with the engagement of the national or higher level public authority that is responsible for sustainable (urban) mobility. The chair of the Task Force is ‘ideally’ the institute/person that has the decision making power. It might be the National Ministry of Transport or the Administration (sometimes also called ‘Department’) but when the referred competences are regionalised it might be another level institute. The task force however shouldn’t be defined institutionally/by law, in many countries this would take too much time. (50) Committed: means that the Task Force has tasks to do, and is not just an informal working group without clear objectives, targets and timing. Once again, this means that they ideally should have the power to decide amongst them. Being able to work efficiently, the group should be limited (see composition). (51) Prepare the ground for the national SUMPprogrammeme or to upgrade the existing one: is their main objective and task. This means however that – not whilst a strictly timing and purposeful agenda – in most countries it won’t be possible for the Task Force to obtain a fully elaborated and approved higher level framework programmeme within the duration of the Prosperity Project. The Road Map will report on the evolution and final status and will indicate steps how to continue beyond the Prosperity timing. (52) The national SUMP programmeme: the task is focussed on the development of a higher level policy framework for SUMP that might include institutional, legal and financial conditions and incentives to encourage and support cities in the development and implementation of high quality SUMPs. The national SUMP programmeme can become either a voluntary or regulatory (legal) framework.

Task Force meetings Seven Task Force meetings were held during the project. The main points of the meeting were the preparation of National SUMP Programme, exchange of experience and elaboration on quality assessment. The main output of the Task Force's work is the SUMP Programme and the commitment to the Task Force to continue its work beyond the PROSPERITY project. The national taskforce contents representatives from regions, cities, consultants and three national administrations, all together about 30 persons. There were four IRL-meetings for the whole group and a large number of meetings in each smaller group. In these meetings in smaller groups the participants were asked to sort out “what´s in it for us?” and at larger meetings the results were put together to form the national SUMP-programme. More information can be found in Appendix. 2.2 National SUMP network The buildup of enduring national networks on SUMPs was the central objective of previous ENDURANCE project. By term ‘National SUMP Network’ is meant a national network that actively supports its members in preparing and implementing Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. A National SUMP Network is hosted by one or several organisations, associations,

314 networks etc. who would ensure a minimum level of Network activities during and beyond the ENDURANCE project. These networks were expected to:  foster a national policy and national support for SUMP  organise and develop information, training and training materials in the local language  facilitate national knowledge exchange between cities,  be the national contact point and thus channel and institutionalise the knowledge exchange on an international level  be able to provide support to cities and agglomerations even in adverse circumstances (e.g. economic slump, hostile political environment). The networks are there to encourage and support cities to engage in sustainable urban mobility planning and implementation, so close communication with cities and their activation was needed

2.3 Cities and their activation Interest of cities in SUMP and their involvement into the project is the key success factor. Specific tool for cities activation was developed in the Endurance project and is described in Roadmaps of the Endurance project (http://www.epomm.eu/endurance/index.php?id=2833, http://www.epomm.eu/docs/2250/D3_4_ENDURANCE_Report.pdf). A modified diagram below offers the guidance for categorisation of cities (interested/uninterested in SUMP and advanced/less advanced in SUMP). interested in interested in SUMP network/SUMP improvement SUMP network/SUMP improvement 1 2

The city activation strategy was in particular designed for cities to join national existing or newly established SUMPs networks. As these networks have been already established in most of Prosperity countries within Endurance project, city activation is not needed any more in countries where national SUMP networks work well. For the rest of countries it is recommended to use the principles of it. It is relevant especially in Croatia and Cyprus which were not Endurance partners. Cities active in SUMP can be found on ENDURANCE project website: http://www.epomm.eu/endurance

2.4 Other meetings and dissemination activities Several types of other activities took place to promote SUMPs at national level: Meetings: - National SUMP Promo Events - annual national SUMP conference in own country (national training weeks are excluded). - Third-party Events - events with active participation (with own original content): presentation, leading a workshop, lecturing Dissemination: - Printed materials - publications released within CIVITAS PROSPERITY project - Media - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content - Digital promotion (2.0 media) - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content - Regular blogging – In terms of the PROSPERITY project a blog is represented as a dedicated section on the respective city website, on a respective national SUMP platform website, or on the CIVITAS PROSPERITY website. Regular blogging on own experience with the whole SUMP process (both, planning and implementation) by city representatives, experts and NFP in their own local language to encourage follower cities in the own country to become active. - News and case studies - news and case studies fed into the Mobility Plans Platform website

Detail overview of all types of activities and specific actions realised during the project can be found in Appendix of this report.

3 The benefits of traffic strategies

A traffic strategy prepared with broadly based municipal and regional support provides support for policy makers to reach well-founded decisions on individual traffic issues and other areas in which traffic is a prerequisite. The benefit of traffic strategies is that they create an improved basis for decision-making, as they contain analyses that reveal flaws and necessary measures from the perspective of the entire transport system, i.e. all forms of traffic and transport. This overview can link the municipality’s development with regional and national levels. For example, a plan for cycling at municipal level provides a good basis for cycling measures on regional and national routes. Coordination reduces the risk of individual measures that are not placed in context. Traffic strategies connect traffic issues and infrastructure planning with urban planning. This makes it easier to make decisions on measures to assist individual areas. They are also an effective tool when sustainability goals and ambitions in Agenda 2030 must be translated into concrete operational planning. Working with traffic strategies can contribute to a more transport-efficient society with reduced greenhouse gas emissions, noise pollution and air pollution. The State’s work to support traffic strategies is an important complement to planning

317 and building legislation, comprehensive planning and the Swedish Municipal Energy Planning Act (SFS 1977:439). Work on traffic strategies should take as their point of departure the findings of six Swedish public authorities in the Strategic Plan for Transitioning the Transport Sector (SOFT). In order to achieve a 70% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector by 2030, and climate neutrality by 2045, measures are required in the three areas of i) a transport- efficient society, ii) fossil-free, energy-efficient vehicles and vessels, and iii) renewable fuels. Traffic strategies are important above all because they create a transport-efficient society, although they also touch on the other two areas. In all likelihood, those municipalities that have prepared traffic strategies have carried out the analysis of the need for measures and reciprocal funding required to apply for state support to promote sustainable urban environments. Municipalities that have prepared a traffic strategy have batted around the strategic issues involved, developed a vision and goals and often implementation plans as a thorough and agreed basis for their applications for state funding. Municipalities with established traffic strategies also have a better overall grasp of the available opportunities for co-financing of public transport and cycling measures pursuant to the Swedish Ordinance regarding Support to Promote Sustainable Urban Environments (SFS 2015:579), in which packaged solutions are important for gaining the maximum benefit for the agreement, or via the Swedish Ordinance on Government Co-Financing for Certain Regional Public Transport Infrastructure (SFS 2009:237). When working with traffic strategies, it is necessary to seek measures according to the four- stage principle: Step 1, includes measures that influence transport needs (demand) and the choice of transport investments. Step 2, measures that provide more efficient use of existing roads and vehicles; Step 3, limited renovations; and Step 4, new investments and major renovations. It is important that work begins with Steps 1 and 2.

4 Financing Traffic strategy as a condition for state aid Preparing a traffic strategy, or revising an existing traffic strategy, can be a reciprocal requirement for obtaining state aid; for example, support to promote sustainable urban environments. The regulatory framework pursuant to the Swedish Ordinance regarding Support to Promote Sustainable Urban Environments should be reviewed and, where possible, adapted to support the increased use of traffic strategies at municipal level. Support to promote sustainable urban environments is primarily aimed at large municipalities which to a relatively large extent already have traffic strategies. In addition to support to promote sustainable urban environments, smaller municipalities also have recourse to funding pursuant to the Swedish Ordinance on Government Co-Financing for Certain Regional Public Transport Infrastructure, although this might require increased financial aid. Support for strategic traffic work at regional level Incentives are required to encourage a broader geographical and functional approach to traffic strategy. This can be achieved through a model for regional sustainable urban environment support. By setting a number of criteria, the fulfilment of which should show a higher overall benefit to participating in a regional traffic strategy, municipalities can be shown a picture of the joint profit to be made, instead of each municipality preparing their own traffic strategy. It is also worth

318 considering support to each municipality based on reciprocal requirements in the form of an active contribution to a joint regional traffic strategy.

Financial contribution from the state for the preparation and implementation of traffic strategies Financial contributions in various forms have previously been successful in encouraging more municipalities to prepare and adopt policy documents. As an example, when the first edition of the TRAST handbook was published, a small sum was paid to a number of municipalities who prepared the first traffic strategies in accordance with TRAST. Grants have also previously been paid to municipalities for conducting road safety programmes and similar traffic plans. Any such support could advantageously be linked to the employment of external competence support in conducting the work, even if it is important that the municipality owns and leads the work process. Financial contributions can also encourage municipalities to prioritise their traffic strategies.

5 SUMP Promo Programme main outcome

It widened the European view so the SUMPs could connect to what is used in Sweden, Traffic strategies (which is in many ways the same as SUMPs)

What worked well? What did not work well?

The national taskforce was doing very well and created a common perspective about what must be done. But there is always a lack of time/money.

Continuation of the SUMP Promotion Programme The Swedish Transport Administration will work with as many as possible of the proposed tasks in the National progamme. Sweden will also connect other projects, such as ParkPAD, to the ongoing work with SUMPs/Traffic strategies.

1 Introduction Promotion of SUMPs at national level is one of PROSPERITY objectives and a key activity for National Focal Points (NFPs) in project countries. In most of them the promotion has started during previous ENDURANCE project which created national SUMP networks, and activated cities to start with SUMP. The SUMP promotion programme includes activities, progress and milestones of the Task Force, national meetings and trainings (WP3 and WP4) and awareness raising activities. It also provides information on transfer of national frame conditions and financing and funding opportunities. This includes consideration of advantages and disadvantages of mandatory concepts/parts or directives.

2 SUMP Promo Programme main achievements This chapter provides an overview of main achievements that make up the SUMP Promo Programme. A basic overview is given in the text, more detailed information is provided in Appendix of this report.

2.1 Task Force The Task Force is the higher level ‘body’ that is committed to prepare the ground for the national SUMP programme, or to improve the existing programme. The Task Force should include and ideally be led by a governmental ‘higher level responsible’ for urban mobility. The Prosperity NFP’s have the task to start-up the Task Force (TF). There are 4 essentials to understand the Task Force (53) Governmental higher level body: the TF operates with the engagement of the national or higher level public authority that is responsible for sustainable (urban) mobility. The chair of the Task Force is ‘ideally’ the institute/person that has the decision making power. It might be the National Ministry of Transport or the Administration (sometimes also called ‘Department’) but when the referred competences are regionalised it might be another level institute. The task force however shouldn’t be defined institutionally/by law, in many countries this would take too much time. (54) Committed: means that the Task Force has tasks to do, and is not just an informal working group without clear objectives, targets and timing. Once again, this means that they ideally should have the power to decide amongst them. Being able to work efficiently, the group should be limited (see composition). (55) Prepare the ground for the national SUMPprogramme or to upgrade the existing one: is their main objective and task. This means however that – not whilst a strictly timing and purposeful agenda – in most countries it won’t be possible for the Task Force to obtain a fully elaborated and approved higher level framework programme within the duration of the Prosperity Project. The Road Map will report on the evolution and final status and will indicate steps how to continue beyond the Prosperity timing. (56) The national SUMP programme: the task is focussed on the development of a higher level policy framework for SUMP that might include institutional, legal and financial conditions and incentives to encourage and support cities in the development and implementation of high quality SUMPs. The national SUMP programme can become either a voluntary or regulatory (legal) framework.

Task Force meetings

331

Five Task Force meetings were held in Slovenia during the project. The main points of the meetings were a preparation of National SUMP Programme and elaboration of quality assessment.

We found a good structure of participants, made it flexible regarding the planned topics, and also found the way how to make it attractive to participants to come (2-days meetings at a remote, though attractive location with some informal activities).

We’ll continue with its work after the project with even more intensive work and we managed to secure resources for it in a different project (programme LIFE). This shows the importance and success of the NTF in Slovenia. 2.2 National SUMP network The build-up of enduring national networks on SUMPs was the central objective of previous ENDURANCE project. By term ‘National SUMP Network’ is meant a national network that actively supports its members in preparing and implementing Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. A National SUMP Network is hosted by one or several organisations, associations, networks etc. who would ensure a minimum level of Network activities during and beyond the ENDURANCE project. These networks were expected to:  foster a national policy and national support for SUMP  organise and develop information, training and training materials in the local language  facilitate national knowledge exchange between cities,  be the national contact point and thus channel and institutionalise the knowledge exchange on an international level  be able to provide support to cities and agglomerations even in adverse circumstances (e.g. economic slump, hostile political environment). The networks are there to encourage and support cities to engage in sustainable urban mobility planning and implementation, so close communication with cities and their activation was needed.

2.3 Cities and their activation Interest of cities in SUMP and their involvement into the project is the key success factor. Specific tool for cities activation was developed in the Endurance project and is described in Roadmaps of the Endurance project (http://www.epomm.eu/endurance/index.php?id=2833, http://www.epomm.eu/docs/2250/D3_4_ENDURANCE_Report.pdf). A modified diagram below offers the guidance for categorisation of cities (interested/uninterested in SUMP and advanced/less advanced in SUMP). interested in interested in SUMP network/SUMP improvement SUMP network/SUMP improvement 1 2

The city activation strategy was in particular designed for cities to join national existing or newly established SUMPs networks. As these networks have been already established in most of Prosperity countries within Endurance project, city activation is not needed any more in countries where national SUMP networks work well. For the rest of countries it is recommended to use the principles of it. It is relevant especially in Croatia and Cyprus which were not Endurance partners. As of July 2019, there are 63 Slovenian cities listed on the country website. Cities active in SUMP can be found on ENDURANCE project website: http://www.epomm.eu/endurance

2.4 Coachings Three coachings were organised during the project in project city on various topics of SUMP.

Event Date Topic Attendance Cities People Coaching 1 6/3/2018 SUMP implementation 1 4 Coaching 2 19/3/2018 land acquisition for 2 8 and infrastructure projects (e.g. 20/3/2018 cycling paths), public involvement and consultation techniques, funding sources for implementation of measures and conditions for acquisition of funds in relation to city size Coaching 3 12/03/2019 Integration of spatial and 3 18 transport planning

The main impact of coachings was new knowledge and information brought to the already developed planning practice in the municipality. 2.5 Training(s) One regular five-day training was organised in Croatian city of Rovinj together with Croatian cities.

The main impact of the first training was an increase of capacities in specific SUMP topics in Slovenian cities.

335

2.6 Other meetings and dissemination activities Several types of other activities took place to promote SUMPs at national level: Meetings: - National SUMP Promo Events - annual national SUMP conference in own country (national training weeks are excluded). - Third-party Events - events with active participation (with own original content): presentation, leading a workshop, lecturing Dissemination: - Printed materials - publications released within CIVITAS PROSPERITY project - Media - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content - Digital promotion (2.0 media) - original CIVITAS PROSPERITY content - Regular blogging – In terms of the PROSPERITY project a blog is represented as a dedicated section on the respective city website, on a respective national SUMP platform website, or on the CIVITAS PROSPERITY website. Regular blogging on own experience with the whole SUMP process (both, planning and implementation) by city representatives, experts and NFP in their own local language to encourage follower cities in the own country to become active. - News and case studies - news and case studies fed into the Mobility Plans Platform website

Detail overview of all types of activities and specific actions realised during the project can be found in Appendix of this report.

3 Legislative framework During the recent years of intense SUM planning development in Slovenia, it has been recognised that the development and stability of this planning approach will have to be placed in a legal framework and that some legal basis for SUM planning will need to be developed. The experience of countries that are more advanced in SUM planning also indicates that legislation is an important step in the development and stability of SUM planning and could contribute to less dependence of SUM planning in Slovenia on EU financing and initiatives. Legislation can also strengthen cross-sectoral integration in SUM planning. Purpose of the Act The Act on Sustainable Mobility (SM) will be the basis for further SUM planning development. It will delineate the organisational framework, responsibilities, minimal SUM planning standards on all levels and set monitoring and evaluation and quality assessment schemes. It will also serve as the basis for integrating SUM planning with other sectors, especially the spatial and environmental and will define the relationship between SUM planning and strategic spatial planning in municipalities and regions and its role in spatial planning, environmental protection and other sectors. The Act will also be the basis for a stabile financing of SUM planning from national resources and for decreasing this area’s dependence on EU initiatives. The relationship to existing

336 national funds, such as the Climate Fund or the Eco Fund will be defined. Following the example of other countries, access to these funds and other state sources of financing will be conditioned with a minimal scope of SUM planning in the municipality or region. At the same time, the act is intended to be encouraging rather than limiting, as its purpose is to boost the development of SUM planning in as many municipalities and regions as possible. Preparation of the Act The MoI with expert support of the NTF for SUMP will lead the preparation process for the Act. Collaboration with other sectors, especially the spatial, environmental and financial will also be part of the process.

4 Financing Experience from more developed countries shows that a successful National SUMP Programme requires stable and clearly defined financial and other support schemes. Financial resources (EU and national) are an important element of implementing SUM planning on all levels. European resources have emerged as the main motivation for kick-starting SUM planning in many countries; the further comprehensive system of support for municipalities and regions can be achieved by countries deploying their own resources. The financial mechanisms are often used as a lever to raise the quality of SUMP and its implementation, even though the minimal quality standards for SUMP as a prerequisite for acquiring resources to implement it, are still a rare practice. Financial Incentives The current financial incentives for SUM planning in Slovenia are mostly based on cohesion funding for sustainable mobility. The Cohesion Fund (CF) is financing the preparation of SUMPs and implementation of some measures for sustainable mobility in cities (pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, public transport stops, and P+R systems). The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is financing implementation of sustainable mobility actions in 11 city municipalities as part of the Integrated Territorial Investments (ITI) and the construction of regional cycling routes as part of the Regional Development Agreement. A smaller portion of the funding is also guaranteed from the national Climate and Eco Funds, which could potentially become a permanent source of financing SUM planning activities in Slovenia. Other Forms of Incentives A number of incentives and mechanisms will be implemented that will stimulate the interest in SUM planning in municipalities, regions and responsible bodies at the national level. Smaller municipalities with limited financial and staff resources for SUM planning will be encouraged to network and collaborate with other municipalities for SUMP development. The municipalities will also be invited to upgrade their SUMPs to inter-municipal or regional SUMPs. Larger towns will take the lead role in this process in order to manage traffic flows in their gravitational hinterland. When collaborating with other ministries, SUMPs will be recommended as a tool for managing challenges indirectly related to mobility (e.g. inadequate air quality).

5 SUMP Promo Programme main outcome For Slovenia the main outcome of the project is creation of a National Task Force, which improved collaboration of relevant stakeholders in the field of SUMP and strengthen the coordination role of the Ministry of Infrastructure in this field. Additionally, the upgrade of the National SUMP programme raised ambitions in this field and helped in successful search for resources for its implementation. Due to the training and national SUMP promo events (e.g. National SUMP conferences) the PROSPERITY project contributed to increased knowledge of SUMPs among Slovenian cities which were in different stages of SUMP preparation, elaboration or implementation. The main impact of coachings was new knowledge and information brought to the already developed planning practice in the municipality. Strengthening the role of the key Ministry of Infrastructure in coordinating development of SUMPs in the country. Also Ministry of Environment is now more involved and familiar with the concept, partly as a result of PROSPERITY. After the last intervention by the Ministry of Infrastructure when they have confinanced more than 60 SUMPs with structural funds, awareness is much higher. What worked well? NTF was most important contribution from the project. With the NTF we’ve broaden the group of people dealing with the national programme, opened the discussion and had regular interchange based on the frequent meetings. What did not work well? The lack of capacities of main players in the NTF (Ministry of Infrastructure, UIRS and others) to respond to the increased demand for the support and development of SUMPs in the country. Continuation of the SUMP programme We’ll continue with NTF´s work after the project with even more intensive work and we managed to secure resources for it in a different project. This shows the importance and success of the NTF in Slovenia.
