Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan(SUMP) is a rather new concept with high potentialities of improving low carbon economy policies. Up to now, despite the existence of many studies, the availability of several reference documents and a series of European projects and initiatives, only a limited number of cities across Europe have adopted a SUMP. This is due to competence, knowledge, technical and normative limits together with poor financing by the local administration. Region of Central Macedonia and CERTH/HIT, Emilia Romagna Region&ITL, Parkstad Limburg Region, Transport for Grater Manchester together with POLIS decided to cooperate in the field of Sustainable Mobility setting up REFORM Project. The goal of the REFORM project is to improve through a mutual learning process, the policies of Regional Operational Programs supporting the funding and diffusion of SUMP as the main planning instrument for shifting mobility towards a low carbon intensive mobility pattern. REFORM new approach is based on the key role of Regions which can trigger SUMP development process amplifying the adoption rate by the cities setting a suitable strategic framework, able to overcome the existing limit. A strong exchange of experiences will be put in place in order to generate a huge interregional learning process involving at different stages key stakeholders with an ultimate scope to produce European added value. 4 policy instruments will be addressed and consequently 4 Actions Plans will be prepared. At the end of the project it is expected that at least 60% of the cities within the Partner Regions will have completed the process for SUMP adoption. The possibilities to apply ICT technologies to facilitate stakeholders involvement during the SUMP development and to support data collection and maintenance will be analyzed. REFORM has already defined a Communication Strategy that will contribute in achieving the project objectives and in informing the general public about the main outcomes. (English)
