The SULPiTER project Transport is the second largest energy-consuming sector, with 32% of share of final energy consumption. Therefore it is necessary to consider the White Paper (2011) of the European Commission, which sets 10 goals for a competitive and resource-efficient transport, two of which are specific for urban areas: “Halve the use of ‘conventionally-fuelled’ vehicles in urban transport by 2030, phase them out by 2050“ and “Achieve essentially CO2-free city logistics by 2030 - in major urban centres.” Paris climate agreement (2015) – the world's first comprehensive climate agreement – has an important role also in the logistic sector, if we look into the aims of it: "Making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development". Recognising the important role Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans can play, European Commission proposed in its Action Plan on Urban Mobility of 2009 to accelerate the take-up of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans in Europe by providing guidance material, promoting best practice exchange, and supporting educational activities for urban mobility professionals. To fully understand possibilities of mitigating urban freight flows and of solving the problem holistically, we would need to tackle urban freight on the level of entire supply chain (including enterprises’ strategies) and from the perspective of Functional Urban Areas (FUA). By the definition, FUA consists of the city and its commuting zone. FUA is identified with a polycentric core, and the hinterlands identified on commuting data, including all settlements from where at least 15% of the workers commute to any of the core settlement(s) (OECD, 2016). The project SULPiTER (Sustainable Urban Logistics PlannIng To Enhance Regional freight transport) was developed to support policy makers in improving their understanding of the FUA freight phenomena in energy and environmental perspective, enhancing their capacity in urban freight mobility planning in order to develop and adopt Sustainable Urban Logistics Plans – SULPs. The project focused on several FUAs in Central Europe, namely Bologna, Budapest, Poznan, Brescia, Stuttgart, Maribor and Rijeka, whose authorities were involved in the project as fully-fledged partners. SULPiTER designed and developed a tool aimed at estimating the freight demand generated by the economic activities in the FUA represented by the project partners. SULPiTER tackled urban freight in the FUAs, taking into consideration the functional transport and economic relations between inner urban centres (limited territorial target of public regulations) and surrounding urban territories, as well as the functional transport and economic relations within FUAs not affecting downtowns. The SULPiTER tool was intended to be a decision support system for policy makers to facilitate the process of elaboration of alternative city logistics scenarios. The project, began in June 2016, implemented a first phase of analysis of the freight transport and related impacts in Brescia FUA, structured in four steps: • Analysis of socio-economic characteristics of Brescia FUA; • Interviews to commercial activities (shops, restaurants, etc.); • Interviews to transport and logistics operators; • Analysis of traffic flows on existing data and recordings along beltways. After a first phase of analysis, the structuring of governance in Brescia FUA, with involvement of the stakeholders through participatory process inside the Freight Quality Partnership FQP was implemented. During the FQP meetings, Brescia Mobilità and Brescia Municipality (SULPiTER associated partner) with the stakeholders, defined main topics of interest for public and private actors involved in freight transport and logistics in Brescia area. More details on FQP will follow in one of the chapters of the present document. D.T3.2.4 | Page 2 The last phase of the project allowed the definition of a shared methodology for the elaboration of the SULP, thanks to results obtained in the first two phases, both in Brescia FUA and other Functional Urban Areas involved in the project. D.T3.2.4 | Page 3 2. The SULP Policy Document The SULP of Brescia FUA is a document that, as indicated in the SUMP (Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan) approved in February 2018, defines the actions Brescia Municipality should undertake in the sector of city logistics within 2030, a year European Commission defined as the objective of "Urban distribution of carbon- free goods", namely zero direct emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2). The document has the ambition to represent the planning tool for a supra-municipal area (functional urban area) in definition of objectives, strategies and actions for the improvement, in terms of environmental sustainability, of the goods transport and distribution in Brescia FUA. The SULP must therefore be considered as a specific plan for the management of city logistics processes, for the design of solutions with a medium-term time horizon, and as an instrument aimed at: • Definition of common vision, needs and priority lines; • Design of a set of appropriate measures / solutions / services; • Reduction of atmospheric and noise pollution, and energy consumption; • Creation of a consensus among the stakeholders; • Definition of a roadmap for possible institutional adoption. The approach used in the elaboration of SULP followed the 2014 Eltis guidelines for the development of SUMP, and the Guidelines for the Urban Logistics published by Lombardy Region in November 2013. This document was written by Brescia Mobilità S.p.A. with the external support of ALOT S.r.l. and under the supervision of the Municipality of Brescia, following the indications and methodology of the SULPiTER project (CE222), co-financed by the European Territorial Cooperation Program Interreg Central Europe 2014-2020.

Transport policies - state of the art analysis Existing policies and planning documents dealing with transport and logistics that provide an overview of the transport policies’ state of the art in Brescia FUA, are mainly divided into three types: 1) Guidelines; 2) Spatial planning documents; 3) Strategic documents. 1. With regard to the Guidelines, called also technical documents, which embed the strategic and policy principles for a general reference framework, three main ones have been delivered by the national and regional Public Authorities: • Ministerial Directive for URBAN MOBILITY PLAN editing; delivered by the Ministry of Infrastructures and Transport, provide the guidelines for Peripheral Public Administrations (Provinces, Aggregations of Municipalities and Municipalities), for the effective Urban Mobility Plans. The Plan also provides instructions for the interaction with other institutional actors on the basis of goals, strategies, priorities and proposition, driven by the in-depth technical-economic analyses according to common standards. The adoption of indications contained in the Ministerial Directive on Urban Mobility Plans by the local Public Administration is a pre-requisite to obtain funding from the national public authority in specific
