Abstract
Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans are developed in Europe rapidly. The future initiative is expected will change the image of European cities and will make transport systems efficacious, thus reducing congestion, decreasing air pollution, and offering alternative options for travelling. The impact of the measures being implemented needs to be monitored regularly to evaluate the effect of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans, and progress in accomplishing the objectives and specific aims of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans are assessed. Infrastructure measures often require considerable investment, and therefore, their rational use expected to create immense benefit to the public. This article analyses various European models for monitoring and evaluating Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. The models are structured, proposing an assessment methodology for Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. Assistance provided by the experts and the use of evaluation models for the analytic hierarchy process assists in identifying the significance of the monitoring indicators that allow assessing the priority orders and the importance of implementing mobility measures.
Highlights
Planning sustainable and efficient transport systems crucial to reducing the impact on climate change and contribution to the aims of decreasing pollutants were set in 2015 by signing the Paris Declaration (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, 2015)
The fundamental principles of successful sustainable mobility planning cover the involvement of public and stakeholders in the process of planning and implementing Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs); promoting institutional cooperation dealing with the issues of transport interaction with other aspects of urban life; selecting the most efficient urban mobility measures; monitoring and evaluating the measures and implementation process of SUMPs
The employment of the monitoring system and its evaluation indicators are recommended to assess progress in SUMP implementation
Summary
Planning sustainable and efficient transport systems crucial to reducing the impact on climate change and contribution to the aims of decreasing pollutants were set in 2015 by signing the Paris Declaration (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, 2015). Inclusive and climatefriendly urban transport infrastructure is essential for developing high functioning and competitive cities/towns. Long-term integrated thinking in planning urban transport systems is one of the most important goals must be attained in the daily activities of all stakeholders. The fundamental principles of successful sustainable mobility planning cover the involvement of public and stakeholders in the process of planning and implementing SUMPs; promoting institutional cooperation dealing with the issues of transport interaction with other aspects of urban life; selecting the most efficient urban mobility measures; monitoring and evaluating the measures and implementation process of SUMPs. The process of monitoring and evaluation has been insufficiently analysed and is rarely applied in practice, which is the challenge for cities/towns in the successful implementation of SUMPs
