The SULPiTER project Transport is the second largest energy-consuming sector, with a 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 are looking 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, the 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, promote best practice exchange, and support educational activities for urban mobility professionals. To fully understand possibilities for mitigating urban freight flows and to solve the problem holistically, we would need to tackle urban freight on the level of entire supply chain (including enterprise’s strategies) and from the perspective of Functional Urban Areas (FUA). By the definition, FUA consists of the city and its commuting zone and is identified as polycentric cores and the hinterlands of FUAs identified based 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) has been developed to support policy makers in improving their understanding of the FUA freight phenomena in an 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 individuated by the project partners. SULPiTER tackles urban freight in the perspective of FUAs, taking into consideration the functional transport and economic relations between inner urban centres (the usual and limited territorial target of public regulations) and the surrounding urban territories, as well as the functional transport and economic relations within FUAs not affecting downtowns. The SULPiTER tool is intended to be a decision support system for policy makers to facilitate the process of elaboration of alternative city logistics scenarios. 2. The SULP Policy Document This document is the basis of the SULP development for each FUA in the frame of the SULPiTER project. Each partner will follow this template in order to report the main points of each Sustainable Urban Logistics Plan at Functional Urban Area level. Based on the EC ELTIS guidelines, it describes the process as each city uses the SULPITER procedure to access the SULP from the data collection through the processing of the data. In each FUA, Authorities will develop their own SULP in a more detailed document, including all the necessary information listed in the national guidelines. In order to make them transnational, this template will include only the most important issues and the relevant results from other Work Packages. The SULP in original language may be attached as annex of this document. D.T3.2.1 - SULP POLICY DOCUMENT TEMPLATE | Page 2 3. Transport policies - state of the art analysis There are 3 existing transport policies that directly influence freight transport in Rijeka FUA: - On national level: Transport Development strategy of the Republic of Croatia 2014-2030 The Strategy sets out the basic guidelines for the development of the transport sector within the Republic of Croatia over a medium and long-term horizon (2014-2030), aiming to define an overall and coherent framework to ensure the linkage of infrastructure and transport policy and enabling decision making. The Strategy is the result of a deep analysis and reflection process but also of participation and debate open to the whole of society for this purpose. A high level of social and technical consensus has been pursued for the elaboration of the Strategy, with the higher possible input and transparency. For this a specific procedure for participation and debate has been set up. As a result, a committed participation of main stakeholders has been registered, getting important contributions in the form of suggestions and proposals to improve and enrich the Strategy. The Transport Development Strategy has taken into account the concern for sustainable development and by great sensitivity to environmental concerns and criteria. As a result, it constitutes a decisive commitment to the future of the Republic of Croatia, to its economic development and its competitiveness, to its social
