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 .

Activities included: A transport analysis, with the aim of obtaining a solid reference framework on the traffic flows (travellers and vehicles) that use and will use the intermodal hub. The evaluation of transport and environmental variables, through the application of a traffic model, allows to outline specific design considerations with the aim of guiding the development scenarios of the area. A review and analysis of international case studies relating to integrated mobility hubs, with the objective of identifying the design criteria to be followed in the design phase of the future intermodal hub in Bergamo. The development of proposals regarding scenarios that may be envisaged in the intermodal hub, with specific reference to connections and movements within the area (i.e., seamless transfers between transport terminals – urban and non-urban buses, tramways, trains, shared mobility facilities, etc.). The design of transport and architectural layouts related to the urban terminal of the existing T1 and the planned T2 tram lines, as well as of the new suburban, regional and long-distance bus terminal.
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.
e-Mobility development between Locarno and Milan
SLOWMOVE – A study on the development of e-mobility in the waterway between Locarno and Milan TRT, together with Ambiente Italia, was entitled by Novara Province to develop a study within the INTERREG project «SLOWMOVE Ponti d’acqua verso il futuro. Lo sviluppo del trasporto lungo il Lago Maggiore, il Ticino ed il sistema dei canali secondo una prospettiva di rispetto ambientale e di incremento del turismo green» (SLOWMOVE Water bridges towards future. Development of the territory along Maggiore lake, Ticino river and canals in a perspective of environmental protection and development of green tourism). The first phase of this study was focusing on supply of charging stations and other electrified modes of transport. Moreover, it provided an overview of the area by linking together demographic data, tourist attractions, tourism statistics, etc. Furthermore, a legislative analysis was included for both Italy and Switzerland, regarding inner water navigation, e-mobility and its charging standards together with an overview of planning documentation. The second phase consisted in the formulation of three different scenarios (high, medium and low) that tried to foresee the development of the charging station infrastructure. Those scenarios were evaluated by local stakeholders with a participative process. Eventually, a third phase included an economical and an environmental impact of the identified scenarios. The first one evaluated the investment cost for every scenario and the demand characteristics. The second compared environmental performances of traditional and electric mobility and it estimated emission reduction.

City of Ravenna, Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan
Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) of Ravenna (Italy) and sectorial mobility plans As a result of a tendering procedure, TRT Trasporti e Territorio, in association with META Mobilità Economia Territorio Ambiente and ITL Istituto sui Trasporti e la Logistica, has been selected by the City of Ravenna to prepare their Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) and the related sectorial mobility plans. Team’s activity is focussed on the preparation of the following documents, among other: Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan, which is articulated in several methodological steps related to: 1) monitoring and assessment of the current SUMP’s results; 2) background analysis of the mobility-related framework and its environmental, social and economic impact in Ravenna; 3) identification of the strategies for the construction of the SUMP scenarios; 4) design of detailed alternative scenarios for the SUMP; 5) evaluation procedure, implementing a ex ante transport model (VISUM). The environmental sustainability of the SUMP is verified through the application of the SEA procedure. Public Transport Plan, coherently developed with the SUMP, which includes a technical and economic feasibility study for the implementation of a low- or zero-emissions public transport system. General Urban Traffic Plan, prepared from objectives, strategies and measures previously defined in the selected short-term scenario of the SUMP. Urban Parking Plan, Functional Classification of the Road Network, Electric Mobility Plan, Road Safety Plan, Cycling Mobility Plan, Strategic document on urban logistics. The drafting of the Plans makes use of innovative methods for the quantification of Ravenna’s transport demand (for example, using data derived from the analysis of the cellular network), which are flanked by more traditional site surveys (vehicle counts, origin-destination surveys, counts on PT lines and at stops, etc.). Finally, all phases are accompanied by a vast communication and participation campaign, which sees the involvement of citizens and stakeholders through public meetings and online questionnaires.
