REFORM

REFORM supports the implementation and deployment of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) as an instrument for shifting mobility towards low-carbon patterns.

In the framework of the project, through regional and interregional learning exchanges, REFORM triggers the SUMP development process and amplifies the SUMP adoption rate by local cities in four European regions: Central Macedonia (Greece), Emilia-Romagna (Italy), Parkstad Limburg (the Netherlands) & Greater Manchester (United-Kingdom).

The partners develop guidance materials and organise a series of dedicated events to help local municipalities in the preparation of their SUMP, to ease the transition towards low-carbon alternatives for mobility on their territory.

One of the distinctive aspects of REFORM lies in the central role given to the regions to encourage the adoption of SUMPs by local authorities, including small towns and medium-sized cities. This is going to be achieved in particular through the improvement of the regional operational programs which support, fund and diffuse the concept of SUMP as the main planning tool for shifting mobility towards low carbon patterns.

Running from January 2017 until December 2022, REFORM contributes to the new EU SUMP Guidelines and drafts a dedicated EU SUMP guide on SUMP in Metropolitan areas
