SUMP Learning Programme for Mobility Practitioners
Description Target audience
The SUMP learning programme for mobility practitioners consists of seven e-courses that help planners and policy makers to implement SUMP in their own city. The courses tackle different phases in the SUMP process starting from how to initiate a SUMP and prepare a long-term vision in cooperation with various stakeholders, elaborate the SUMP strategy and select SUMP measures and on how to finally implement SUMP, and are packed with good practise examples and successful approaches from European cities. If you are at the starting line in the SUMP process, we suggest to first take the SUMP foundation course introducing its basic principles and the methodology. Mobility practitioners, mobility planners, policy makers.

SUMP Self-Assessment
Description Target audience

The SUMP Self-Assessment Tool(link is external) enables planning authorities to evaluate the SUMP of their city or functional urban area. If no plan exists, it can also be used to assess and improve planning activities in general.

The Self-Assessment contains 30 to 45 questions that should take around 20 to 30 minutes to complete. The results help planning authorities understand the strengths and weaknesses of their approach. In addition, to feedback how well each of the SUMP principles is fulfilled, the results page also provides fitting good practice examples and tailored advice for further improvement.

The tool is available to use for free on a non-commercial basis.
