ANNEX V
SUSTAINABLE URBAN MOBILITY PLANNING REQUIREMENTS FOR URBAN NODES
This annex sets out the requirements for urban nodes for the development of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans.
1.Goals and objectives: A Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) shall have as central goal improving accessibility of the functional urban area and providing high-quality, safe and sustainable low-emission mobility to, through and within the functional urban area. It shall notably support zero-emission mobility and the implementation of an urban transport system which contributes to a better overall performance of the trans-European transport network, in particular through the development of infrastructure for the seamless circulation of zero-emission vehicles as well as of multimodal passenger hubs to facilitate first and last mile connections and of multimodal freight terminals serving urban nodes.
2.Long-term vision and short-term implementation plan: A SUMP shall include a – or be linked to an existing – long term strategy for the future development of transport infrastructure and multi-modal services. It shall also include a delivery plan for the short-term implementation of the strategy. It shall be embedded into an integrated approach for sustainable development of the urban area and linked to relevant land-use and spatial planning.
3.Integration of the different modes of transport: A SUMP shall promote multimodal transport through the integration of the different modes and measures aimed at facilitating seamless and sustainable mobility. It shall include actions to increase the modal share of the more sustainable forms of transport such as public transport, active mobility, and, as appropriate, inland waterway and maritime transport. It shall also include actions to promote zero-emission mobility, in particular with regard to the greening of the urban fleet, to reduce congestion and to improve road safety in particular of vulnerable road users.
4.Effective functioning of TEN-T: A SUMP should duly take into account the impact of various urban measures on the traffic flows, both passenger and freight, on the trans-European transport network with the aim to ensure seamless transit, bypass, or interconnection through and around the urban nodes, including of zero-emission vehicles. It shall in particular include actions to alleviate congestion, improve road safety and remove bottlenecks affecting the traffic flows on the TEN-T.
5.Participatory approach: The development and implementation of a SUMP shall be based on an integrated approach with a high level of cooperation, coordination and consultation between the different levels of government and relevant authorities. Citizens as well as representatives of civil society and economic actors shall also be involved.
6.Monitoring and performance indicators: A SUMP shall include objectives, targets and indicators underpinning the current and future performance of the urban transport system, at minimum, on greenhouse gas emissions, congestion, accidents and injuries, modal share and access to mobility services, as well as data on air and noise pollution in cities. The implementation of a SUMP shall be monitored using performance indicators. Member States and the relevant authorities shall implement mechanisms to ensure that a SUMP is in line with the provisions of this Annex and of high quality.
