The quality of life in cities of the Region undergoes degradation, due to increased motor vehicle traffic. • Beyond the impact on the urban environment, health and economy, the urban mobility and accessibility is facing serious problems due to traffic congestion, the lack of parking policy and the low level of service of public transport. • Campaigns of introducing alternative modes of transport (bicycle, bus, transit modes) should be implemented • SUMP should be the first priority of each city and ROP can finance the implementation of such a Plan, in order all the major investments of urban public transport to be included in an integrated and clear vision.

MA's calls for SUMP projects or for projects which have SUMPs as a prerequirement will incorporate the innovations proposed by the InnovaSUMP

The improvement of the ROP can be achieved through the introduction of a new criterion for the selection of a final beneficiary to get financial support for the implementation of a public transport investment. This criterion has to do with the existence or not of an Integrated SUMP
