Picea Development of SUMP in Europeis result of initiative and activities of European Commission inthe last 15 years, Inthe Commission's Urban Mobility Action Plan published in 2009, European Commission has supported faster adoption of the SUMP in Europe through materials that provided guidelines, promotion, and exchange of the best practices, through determining of benchmarks and support towards educational activities for professionals in urban mobility. In March of 2011, European Commission has published White Book on transport, The Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area- Towards a competitive and resource efficient transport system’ (COMM(2011)0144 final), which suggests considering the possibility of introduction of Urban Mobilty Plans forthe cities of certain size, according to national standards based on EU Guidelines. Also, it suggests research into connecting funds for regional development and cohesion funds for the cities and regions that present contemporary and independently verified cerificate on Achievements of urban mobility and revisions on sustainability, White book on Transport suggests exploring the possibilities for building of European framework for support and progressive implementation of SUMP in European cities.

This includes explanation of why certain stakeholders should be included and what kind of influence they should have. After determining stakeholders, the time and ways of their participation in the process is laid out through strategy for coordination of stakeholders. Through appropriate participation of citizens and other stakeholders, decisions on certain urban transport ‘measures as well as SUMP obtaina significant measure of ‘public legitimacy’.Eee eset ro van) Commitment to sustainability Commitment to sustainability is crucial. Given the fact that sustainability is complex concept, itis important to develop common understanding among key stakeholders about what sustainability and sustainable mobility mean for city and environment. In development of SUMP, along transport and mobility, social, economic and political-institutional criteria shouldbe taken itoconsideration Integrated approach Local Planning Authority is very often behind the plan for mobility or transport. However, relevance of the SUMP is not limited to mobility and transport and one of its main characteristics is inclusion of all other city and regional authorities (for example, cadastre, environmental protection, economic development, social equality, health and security) nto the planning process. The great challenge isto grapple with the problem of integration and cooperation, but that is also a significant source of innovation and improvement Clear vision, purpose and measureable goals Plan should be based on long-term vision for transport development and mobility of whole city agglomeration. t should cover all ways and forms of transport: public and priv commercial andnon-commercial, motorized and non-motorized, flowing and stationary. Strategic vision offers qualitative description of desired future ofthe city and channels development of appropriate planning measures. Vision should be defined by specific goals which describe desired change. Change and influence also need to be measurable and require very well thought through group of goals which are linked to specific goals andindicators, Revision of transport costs and benefits Choice of measures is guided not just by efficiency but also cost- effectiveness. Especially in times when the budget for public transport and mobility has been reduced, itis vital to achieve the greatest effectiveness with the smallest use of resources. This Tequites basic assessment of possibilities taking into account costs and benefits, including those that are more dificult to measure such as eflect of greenhouse gas emissions and influence on air quality. European Commission inits' White Book on Transport (2011) stresses the importance of internalizing externality costs for all kinds of transport using common principles, taking into account the specifics of each mode of transport Sena enn a Erna EEEae er noes Improved quality of life ‘SUMP is plan for people, and not cars and trafic.

More successful cities and access tofinances ‘SUMP can provide access to finances for innovative solutions and in this way create decisive advantage in competition among the cities for access to public funding. New political vision, potential for integration SUMP offers long term strategic vision.

In 2007 Koprivnica have already received a prestigious reward for European mobility week. In 2015, Koprivnica has adopted Sustainability Mobility Plan (SUMP) - first town in Croatia whichhas done that. Before the beginning of process of developing SUMP, Koprivnica has worked on improving connections between centre parts of the city in order to utiize short distances, This has enabled development of active transport (walking and cycling in combination with public transport), which has resulted in high participation ofthis modality of transport, -36%. On the opposite end, city has faced te challenge of argenumber of vehicles which enter the city centre from the main national road, and absence of the altematives to public transport from remote city areas to the centre. In order to solve these challenges, Koprivnica has established and led its own process of planning sustainable urban mobility. As a pioneer of SUMP in Croatia, Koprivnica had to rely on knowledge and guidelines from materials at the level of EU, such as guidelines of SUMP of European Commission, and CIVITASDYN@MO project. As an early adopter of SUMP in the region, section for planning of the cityadministration has developed its own processes andinitiated SUMP centre for competencies forthe South-East Europe. Koprivnica has dedicated special attention to details during the SUMP process. At the start it has taken survey on moblity in arder to capture mobility behaviour of clizens and determine their opinions and positions. Besides that, Koprivnica has planned raining and capacity development order to thoroughly execute measures stated in SUMP. City has invested into public participation and used established knowledge from previous process of participative planning through workshops with interested parties, public awareness campaigns and establishment of transport forum, Until July 2015, SUMP has been adopted on behalf of City Council and entered into implementation phase with plans towards starting of city public transport inthe second half of 2018 asa key SUMP element (wowweltis.org) Source: eltis.org Ljubljana, Slovenia Lubljana (280000 citizens) is with its two adopted SUMPs ‘example of good practice inthe area of sustainable mobility inthe region. Best practices in Ljubljana can be divided into four groups. First group is cycling, where the main measure was introduction of the system for renting bicycles and investment into related infrastructure. System for renting bicycles includes the network of 51 stands with 510 bicycles, which are freeto ride for up toone hour Bicycle systemis available 24 hoursper day, 7 days in a week and enables easy use during day and night. Project is very well prepared; number of registered users is currently over 32000. Second group of good practices is walking, with closing and revitalization ofthe centre ofthe city: pedestrian zones have increased aver the few years. Four new bridges and pedestrian walks have been built over the river of Ljubljanica, Electronic vehicles, popularly named Kavalir, offer the transport services for elderly inthe pedestrian zone. Third group of good practices is more flexile and better quality public transport, where main achievements are introduction of modern electronic payment system- Urbana; broadening of city bus lines (some for the suburban areas) and introduction of arrival schedule information at bus stations. Travellers have precise, clear and transparent information about buss arrivals Fourth group is parking management. Through continuous broadening of the areas with management of the parking and their payment systems, Ljubljana has managed to create conditions which enable long term planning of pubic parkinglots and force daily migrants tachange their travelling habits. Positive effects of these measures are lower emissions of COZ from efficient system of public transport and increased use of cycling and walking in the city. Trafic in the city is more peaceful, traffic crowd is decreased and pressure on parking lots is reduced. Free use of bicycles is also financially favourable for citizens and visitors. Closing of the city centre brings much more tourists and visitors, and increases security in pedestrian zones.Geneon tan cea (oe Meaney ‘Walking and cycling influence betterment ofthe health profile of the publi, All his is reflected in increased quality of ie in the ay = my 4 Source: https://www.rlvslosif Ljutomer, Slovenia Ljutomer, town of 3300 people, is the first smaller place in Slovenia to introduce SUMP. The municipality ofthe same name (in which town is located) has 11400 residents. Successfully introduced measures have encouraged Ljutomer to place bigger stress on sustainable mobility and become one of the leading municipalities inthe field of mobility n Slovenija and beyond. First SUMP has been developed as a pilot project for smaller towns and cities within a broader national project which is focused on planning sustainable urban mobility. Project has required use of holistic approach to traffic management and ‘mobility and has createdlistof key measures for improvement of situations connected to mobility of cites and municipalities. City major of Liutomer has commented that municipality is proud on its achievement and leading role in the area of sustainable mobiity in Slovenija and broader region. It wants to introduce new innovative measures and to lear from existing ‘ones inorder to improve the future measures. Positive results of the first project have motivated the municipality to plan the introduction of similar measures in other parts of the town and municipality of Ljutomer and to develop SUMP of second generation, which was adopted in March of 2017. Experiences and lessons learned by municipality of Ljutomer have been integrated into few newly introduced SUMPS in Slovenia and represented to different participants - including planners, designers. and municipality administration - from Slovenia and abroad. Municipality has acted as an example to other Slovenian municipalities which have prepared their first SUMP project atthe national level in 2016 and 2017.

Given the fact that there are no national regulations and guidelines in this field, participation of City of Kruevac as “ollower town’ in few European projects such as TIDE’, SWITCH’ and 'FLOW' and active membership in CIVINET in Slovenia, Croatia, network of South-East Europe and study visits through project ‘BUMP and CIVITAS SATELLITE, have helped the process of development of, SUMP. SUMP defines more ambitious goal of ‘80-20' in modal distribution by 2030: sustainable modes 80% compared to 20% by private cars, and making of the ‘city accessible to all citizens’, despite their age, gender. physical or mental capabilities and income, Inclusion of different actors in the process of development of SUMP and organization of different promotional activities has had a significant influence on change of attitude about urban mobility and use of public space, not justas an exclusive right of cars, During development of SUMP, city has shared its experiences with other cites in the region In February 2018, KruSevac was host of annual assembly of CIVINET network, which has attracted large number of participants from Slovenija, CroatiaGeese Me etal foe Mane Montenegro, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
