PILOT Manual for Sustainable Urban Transport Planning
Regional Meeting on Sustainable Transport Policies in South Eastern Europe - 21/22 June Budapest Hungary
Ivo Cré, Polis Project Manager
Setting the context: 5 Steps from the EU to the EU citizen
5 Steps between the EU and the EU citizen
Step 1: 6th Environment Action Programme
Step 2: The Thematic Strategy on the Urban Environment
Step 3: The Pilot Project
Step 4: Your city uses Pilot results
Step 5: Citizens and the SUTP
STEP1. EU context
6th Environment Action Programme
The EU committed itself to publish a Thematic strategy on the urban environment addressing an integrated approach to environmental problems in a urban areas.
STEP2. EU context
The Thematic Strategy for the Urban Environment
• Initial vision: obligation for +100.000 local authorities to prepare a Urban Environmental Management Plan and a Sustainable Urban Transport Plan
• Final version: EU to provide local authorities with guidance on these topics
STEP3. Pilot Project
EU launches 2 projects to investigate UMP and SUTP
• Liveable Cities: Urban Management Plans
• Pilot:
Main strategic objective
Promoting sustainable urban transport planning
STEP3. Pilot Project (CTD)
Main objectives
• Identify strengths and weaknesses regarding the transferability of methods and tools for SUTP preparation;
• Provide guidance and recommendations for the European Commission and the Member States;
• address the specific requirements of the EU Accession countries and new member states;
• Establish a durable platform for the exchange of experiences and good practice between stakeholders from across Europe.
STEP4: Your city uses Pilot results
SUTP Tools available
• Pilot Manual (guidance for stakeholders)
• Pilot Manual (full version)
• Support material per Task
• Support material per Mission
• Background document on integration of Transport and Land Use Planning
• Background document on Public Involvement
• Self-assessment questionnaire tools
STEP5: Citizens and the SUTP
The citizens involvement is fourfold:
• A creative public involvement programme brings citizens closer to the planning process.
• A communication plan informs citizens about the progress in the planning process and the implementation of the SUTP.
• Citizens see the result of implemented measures originating from the SUTP.
• Citizens adopt their mobility behaviour.
What is Sustainable Urban Transport Planning
Kicking off the process…
To get things moving in the right direction ...
...synchronized action is needed.
The need for SUTP
• Urban transport policy and mobility planning imply choices that strongly affect society as a whole shaping environment, social and cultural future of our cities;
• Integrated planning processes still hampered by organisational division between transport modes, government agencies and services;
• Transport planning tends to be seen as technical task, lacking stakeholder participation and delivering only piecemeal measures.
Need for…
Multifaceted policy response, based on long term strategy;
Consultation with other authorities and civil society;
Concrete and achievable targets
What is SUTP ?
Defining Sustainable Urban Transport Planning: A new approach to transport planning with distinctive aim, subject and qualities:
• The aim of SUTP: achieving sustainable urban transport system by considering a serie of objectives;
• Adress movement of goods and persons comprehensively
A new planning approach that needs to grow from and within local authorities and existing practices.
A new planning approach
SUTP…
• Is not an additional layer (danger of misconception);
• Builds on existing practices and regulatory frameworks in the Member States. Aims to combine and complete these, applying a number of commonly agreed principles;
• Represents the direction into which current planning practices should be moving continuously in order to enhance sustainable urban transport development;
An innovative process for transport planning
• A participatory approach;
• A pledge for sustainability;
• An integrated approach;
• A focus on the achievement of measurable targets;
• A move towards costs internalisation;
• A cycle of policy-making and implementation
Running the SUTP process
5 key Tasks – well-structured strategic planning process
1: Status analysis and scenario development
1.1: Inventarisation of existing plans and policies1.2: Status analysis1.3: Scenario development
2: Vision, objectives and targets
2.1: Common vision of stakeholders2.2: Definition of objectives2.3: Targets for outcome indicators
3: Action and budget plan
4: Assigning responsibilities and resources
5: Monitoring and evaluation

A complex task…
“Sustainable Urban Transport Planning promotes strategic thinking and encourages integration. Partners across a range of sectors sign up to the understanding that in order to progress, a holistic approach is required.”
Helen Holland, Bristol County Council
“Sustainable Urban Transport Plans should be innovative but not utopian. The challenge is of course to implement them”
Rudolf Schicker – Councillor for Urban Development, Traffic and Transport of Vienna
…that’s worth the effort
“Although the efforts for SUTP are considerable, the benefit of widespread acceptance and the many positive effects of an integrated policy exceed the costs by far.”
Ingeborg Junge-Reyer, Senator for Urban Development Berlin
“Our concern for the long-term benefits for health, the environment and the lives of people in our city offers us no alternative to a comprehensive approach addressing the issue of mobility.”
Danica Simsic, Mayor of Ljubljana

SUTP relates to PT regulatory framework
• SUTP provides framework for service contracts and subsidies.
• SUTP sets targets for specific target groups and justifies fare policy and discounts.
• SUTP maps hierarchy of PT lines and sets the framework for rolling stock investments.
• e.g. Flanders Region
