Syracuse Municipality, Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan
Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) of Syracuse, Italy, and di Siracusa and related sector insights Following a tender procedure, the Municipality of Syracuse commissioned to Sintagma and TRT Ingegneria to update the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP), which the city adopted in 2019. SUMP development is divided into two phases. In the first one, the cognitive framework was reconstructed, updating the mobility system with regard to its current state. In particular, the planning-programmatic framework at regional, provincial and local level, the territorial and socio-economic framework of the plan area, the supply of transport networks and services, the demand for mobility and the social (accident rate) and environmental (atmospheric pollutants, fossil fuel consumption, etc.) impacts determined by the mobility system were defined. The second phase, which is currently being drafted, consists of the drafting of the Plan proposal, which will take into account the results of the SWOT analysis (in particular, the identification of critical issues and opportunities), the identification of the objectives and strategies of the PUMS, shared with the structures of the public administration. Parallel to the first phase and during the second phase, the participation process has been developed with the involvement of citizens and users of the city in the definition of the proposed Plan.. Participation activities have been organised through an extensive communication campaign, involving the direct involvement of Syracuse citizens, who are called upon to give their input by filling in an online questionnaire, thanks to which it is possible to investigate the mobility habits of the population and report any proposals. To complete the process, meetings dedicated to stakeholders and citizens have been organised to present the Plan document. Subsequently, accompanying the PUMS document, the new General Urban Traffic Plan will also be drafted, together with specific sectoral insights on particularly important topics such as, for example, mobility of all for all, home-school mobility, electric mobility..

General Urban Traffic Plan for the city of Parma
Drafting of the General Urban Traffic Plan (PGTU) for the city of Parma The Municipality of Parma entrusted TRT with the service of drafting the General Urban Traffic Plan (PGTU) with the executive determination n. DD-2020-2813 of 23/12/2020. TRT presented the proposed Plan that is awaiting adoption and approval by the Municipality of Parma. Parma PGTU di Parma is structured as an implementation and short-term tool of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP), a ten-year strategic instrument that the city of Parma adopted in 2017. TRT was also responsible of the drafting of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan of the city of Parma and, in 2019, was commissioned to coordinate the implementation and monitoring of Parma’s SUMP Parma PGTU follows the ministerial directives of 1995 and the subsequent updates of the New Highway Code, which provide guidance on the plan’s action themes, with indications on both transport supply and demand. The TMP was developed in two phases. The first phase reconstructed an updated knowledge framework of the mobility system, delving into its key aspects: the regulatory framework; the planning and programming framework, including the status of implementation of the current PUMS; the provision of transport networks and services, including the existing road network and classification as well as access regulation and zones 30; the roadside, in-structure and interchange parking system; motorised urban public transport; cycling and sharing services; mobility management actions; transport demand; the social and environmental impacts of the mobility system. The second phase was developed from the reading of the cognitive framework and the selection of objectives identified by ministerial directives. On this basis, the PGTU identified short-term measures inferred from those foreseen by the SUMP (2017) and updated taking into account the new opportunities introduced in the last two years as measures in favour of sustainable mobility. In particular, the topics covered by the Parma PGTU include: a new functional classification of the network, adapted to the recent changes to the road network and the traffic calming measures recently introduced; streets upgrading, securing roads, regulating access and moderating interventions (Zone 30, school roads, etc.); the establishment of “Area Verde” (Green Area), a Low Emission Zone covering the urbanised territory of Parma and the Blue Area (ZTL), as a revision of the system for regulating access to the urban and central area; the revision of the network of urban public transport services and closer modal integration with the bicycle network; parking policy (supply, regulation and pricing); the improvement of cycling through the introduction of cycle roads and routes, the realisation of measures for widespread cycling (Zone 30) and the implementation of new sharing and micro-mobility services.
Metropolitan City of Naples, Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan
Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan and Urban Plan for Cycling Mobility of the Metropolitan City of Naples The Metropolitan City of Naples has commissioned the temporary grouping of companies consisting of TRT Ingegneria (agent), Sintagma (Principal) and TPS Pro (agent) to draft the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMP) and the related “Biciplan” (Urban Plan for Cycling Mobility). The SUMP is draft in accordance with the guidelines issued by the former MIT today MIMS. Launched in September 2021, the drafting of the SUMP involves several phases: Definition of the “territorial knowledge framework”; Definition of Plan targets and objectives; Definition of policies, strategies and actions; Construction of scenarios and definition of the Plan Proposal; VAS and VIA (strategic and impact – environmental assessments). Along the drafting, the participatory process plays a fundamental role in all the activities underpinning the SUMP according to its own Participation and Communication Plan. TRT contribution in the SUMP drafting includes – in addition to participation along the entire process of the Plan elaboration – the drafting of the Biciplan and two thematic studies: freight transport and urban logistics and transport of people with reduced mobility. The Urban Plan of Cycling Mobility (Biciplan) promotes the use of bicycles as a mode of transport for daily, touristic and recreational activities, improving the safety of cyclists. The Biciplan identifies the strategic metropolitan network with itineraries that connect, in synergy with public transport, the urban centres as well as main attraction and intermodal poles. Sustainable urban freight transport and logistics address the rationalization of freight transport on a metropolitan scale cutting negative impacts and externalities linked with the distribution and the transportation of goods in urban areas. Transport of people with reduced mobility analyses measures to ensure maximum accessibility, autonomy and ease of travel through universally accessible means by removing architectural and virtual barriers. The fundamental objective is the definition of coordinated actions concerning the structure of services, accessibility to transport infrastructures (railway and underground service stations, interchange parking lots, ports, airports, etc.) and the increased participation of people with reduced mobility to public spaces.

Prato SUMP monitoring report
Prato SUMP monitoring report in accordance with the indicators of DM 396 of 28/08/2019 TRT was commissioned by the Municipality of Prato to draw up the SUMP monitoring report. The SUMP was approved by Municipal Council Resolution no. 51 of 2017. The activity consists in verifying the state of implementation of the measures foreseen in the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan as of February 2022, while highlighting the evolution of the descriptive variables of urban mobility (demand, supply and environmental and social impacts). This is an activity envisaged by Article 4 of the Ministry’s PUMS Guidelines (DM 397/2017). In particular, the assignment includes the following macro activities: comparison of indicators selected from the current SUMP (approved in June the 1st, 2017) and therefore prior to the issuance of the SUMP Guidelines (DM No. 397 of 4 August 2017 and the subsequent update introduced by DM 396 of 28 August 2019); adjustment of the PUMS indicators to DM 396 of 28 August 2019 and their estimation to the base year (2017) and 2021; verification of the SUMP status of implementation as for the individual measures envisaged in the two Reference and Plan Scenarios; adaptation of SUMP objectives and actions; recommendations and indications for future updating of the current SUMP as set out in the 2017 Ministerial Guidelines. The first part of the activities consists of comparing all the indicators within the current SUMP with those indicated in DM 396 of 28/08/2019 in order to align the SUMP with the new ministerial provisions. Secondly, it verifies the status of implementation of the measures foreseen by the SUMP on the basis of the close interaction between TRT and the technical structures of the Municipal Administration, in order to account for the activity put in place during the 2017-2021 period in implementing the SUMP. The combination of these activities makes it possible, on the one hand, to estimate the trend of indicators representative of the PUMS objectives and, on the other, to understand the choices made by the Administration with respect to the implementation of the measures. Finally, the intersection of the two pieces of information makes it possible to give an account of the trend of the targets set by the SUMP and to modulate the Administration’s action accordingly through the implementation of the actions in favor of sustainable mobility envisaged by the SUMP and its subsequent update. TRT was also responsible of the drafting of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan, the Parking Master Plan and the Urban Traffic Plan of the city of Prato In 2022, TRT also drafted Prato’s e-Mobility Plan.
Piacenza – Parking supply analysis in a medium-long term perspective
Parking supply analysis in the Municipality of Piacenza in a medium-long term perspective The Municipality of Piacenza committed TRT Trasporti e Territorio for an analysis of the current parking supply and its evolution in the medium-long time frame in relation to the transformations that will affect the Municipality in the next 10 years future. The study was carried out according to the actions that the Municipality of Piacenza has developed recently, through an important revision of the mobility planning tools. Parking policies are of particular importance and may influence the entire mobility pattern of the city. In fact, last December 2020 the Municipal Council approved the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) and the Urban Traffic Plan (the Italian so called “PUT” Piano Urbano del Traffico) is currently waiting for its adoption. The city’s parking supply is always evolving, also according to the urban planning development and the accessibility of new areas that have recently become available. It is therefore of particular importance to monitor the evolution of the parking supply analysing in detail the changes that may undergo according to the measures, strategies and choices of the city’s urban plans. Analyses have shown that the areas related to the development of the New Hospital, the Ex-ACNA area, the Ex-Laboratorio Pontieri and the Ex-Mercato Ortofrutticolo would lead to an increase of about 2,100-2,300 parking spaces available in the historical centre for a total of an increase by 31%-34%.

City of Piacenza, the cycling mobility plan
Drafting of the Biciplan, an strategic vision for cycling mobility in the city of Piacenza as part of wider mobility system introduced by the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) In 2018 the Municipality of Piacenza started the process of reviewing and updating its mobility planning tools. After having elaborated the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan and the Urban Traffic Plan, the Municipality has entrusted TRT with the drafting of the new Biciplan, that represents a deepening of the strategic vision for cycling already introduced in the approved SUMP. The Biciplan assigns a primary role to cycling with the aim to satisfy the mobility needs not only related to leisure but also (and especially) to the everyday commuting. The compact urban form of Piacenza with its orographic and climatic conditions plays in favour of a greater diffusion of cycling. Indeed 22% of residents already regularly cycle to work. The drafting of the Biciplan, started in April 2021, consists of the following activities Analysis of the local cycling mobility system and planning context with particular attention to the existing cycling network and related services, as well as the analyses of the cycling demand and road accident rates; definition of the methodology and the objectives for the prioritization of measures, also taking into account the limited resources; elaboration of the Plan proposal through the identification of policies and measures able to define the infrastructure, the services and the communication activities to encourage the use of bicycles as well as other aspects related to urban logistics and last mile deliveries. the quantification of economic resources necessary to implement all actions included in the plan and the definition of the monitoring system including indicators and targets .

Mare in Bus e Terra-Mare in Bus public transport lines in Melendugno
Design and technical assistance for the implementation and tendering of a seasonal public transport service in the Municipality of Melendugno (Lecce, Italy) TRT Trasporti e Territorio Srl was commissioned by the Municipality of Melendugno to support the definition of a public transport service to be provided in the summer months connecting all the coastal marinas in its territory (Torre Specchia, San Foca, Roca Vecchia, Torre dell’Orso and Torre Sant’Andrea), as well as between the more inland areas (the town centre and the hamlet of Borgane) and the coast. The activities concerned in particular the revision of the existing daily service based on the “Mare in Bus” and “Terra-Mare in Bus” lines, as well as the preparation of the tender documents for the assignment of the service. The new service was tailored to the needs expressed in previous seasons, which in particular required an increase in the capacity of the vehicles used and faster journey times. The design of the new service included a review and verification of the stops, the inclusion of new stops and the definition of the routes and the operating schedule for both local lines. The timetables were integrated with those of the extra-urban buses connecting Otranto and Lecce. The service was successfully tested during the 2021 tourist season in order to calibrate the final bidding scheme and prepare for the subsequent multi-year tender. TRT also provided indications regarding the area’s overall mobility system, verifying the offer of parking in dedicated parking areas, on-street parking, the provision of pedestrian areas and limited traffic zones and, in particular, the impact on traffic and public transport services of the new coastal cycle/pedestrian path planned by the Municipal Administration.

Sustainable freight access to Reggio-Emilia historic centre
Feasability study of urban freight transport, sustainable access to Reggio-Emilia historic centre The feasibility study of urban freight transport (UFT) sustainable access to Reggio-Emilia historic centre is a project contracted by Reggio Emilia Municipality. The project is underpinned by the results of the RESOLVE initiative (funded by Horizon 2020) that in the last three years, together with local administration surveys, has monitored average city centre accesses of both retailers and logistic operators. The study aims to understand the feasibility of urban consolidation centres (UCC) or micro consolidation centres (MCC) to favour last-mile sustainable operations throughout cargo bikes. This is gained by gathering a detailed level of information concerning local user necessities via online surveys and focus groups. Also, the analysis intends to evaluate the quality of infrastructure considering its compatibility with cargo bikes needs. Reggio-Emilia cyclelogistics feasibility study partly relies on local retailers and logistic operators who will be invited to join the Cyclelogistics Partnership. The joint venture is meant to define daily operative requirements as well as to form a permanent group of initiative forerunners and users. Such requirements will determine the characteristics of the consolidation centres in terms of dedicated structure (permanent, semi-permanent, temporary) and type of furniture/spaces that must consider the services offered and freights categories. The operative scheme would consist of the intermodal last-mile distribution obtained by the transhipment of parcels from heavier vehicles towards cargo bikes. Such a scheme would prevent or reduce the access of little optimised vehicles as well as polluting, harmful and space-consuming ones in the historic centre. Therefore, offering improved city centre attractivity without harming local supply needs, rather optimizing vehicles according to given spaces and offering more sustainable albeit efficient logistics operations.
