City of Piacenza, Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan
Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) and the Urban Traffic Plan (PUT) of the Municipality of Piacenza, complemented/integrated by the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) The Municipality of Piacenza (102,000 inhabitants approx.) has commissioned TRT Trasporti e Territorio, through a public tender, to draft the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan and the Urban Transport Plan of the city of Piacenza. The drafting of the SUMP of Piacenza was developed in accordance with the ELTIS’ methodology and, at the national level, with the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (Decree August 4, 2017). The SUMP was launched in October 2018 and it consists of the following activities: updating of the local mobility and planning context; evaluation of the current scenario (diagnostic framework and SWOT analysis) and definition of general and specific objectives and indicators; elaboration of the Plan and quantification of resources, including the identification of alternative scenarios (RS and SP), the ex-ante evaluation (technical, economic and environmental), the quantification of financial resources and the definition of the monitoring system; adoption and approval of the plan. In parallel, a traffic simulation tool was developed for technical, environmental and economic assessment. A crucial element of the Plan’s drafting process was the participatory process, which included: i) a survey aimed at those who live, work and study in Piacenza, with the dual purpose to define the transport demand and to know the needs of those who move daily across the city; ii) thematic and territorial focus groups; iii) informal evenings to explain the Plan to residents; iv) a final conference. The Plan was subjected to Strategic Environmental Assessment, adopted with the Municipal Council Resolution n.2020 / 20 – of 24/01/2020 and approved by the City Council Resolution n.57 of 28/12/2020.

City of Bergamo, Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan
Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) of Bergamo (Italy) and related SEA With 120,000 residents, Bergamo is the fourth largest city in Lombardy. According to the origin-destination survey carried out by Regione Lombardia in 2014, 366,000 journeys daily affect the municipal territory. The drafting of the SUMP of Bergamo guaranteed consistency with the methodology suggested by the European Commission (www.eltis.org) and with the guidelines issued by the Italian Ministry of Transports (Decree 4 August 2017). Started in July 2018, the work has been organised in four phases:: background analysis of the mobility-related framework and its environmental, social and economic impact in Bergamo; evaluation of the current scenario (diagnostic framework and SWOT analysis) and subsequent definition of the general and specific objectives system as well as measurement indicators; elaboration of the SUMP, including the identification of alternative scenarios, the selection of the related policies and measures, the preparation of a monitoring plan for the ex post evaluation of the plan; acceptance and approval process. The plan has been prepared with the support of a traffic simulation model thus allowing for a detailed technical, environmental and economic evaluation. A tool for strategic evaluation (MOMOS, entirely developed by TRT) has been also used. A fundamental element of the SUMP has been the participatory process, which has included a survey on mobility habits addressed to those who live, work and study in Bergamo and four thematic focus groups. The sustainability of the SUMP has been supported by a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and an assessment of the effects of the Plan for the naturalistic Site of Community Importance (SCI) named «Boschi dell’Astino e dell’Allegrezza». The SUMP of Bergamo has been accepted by the City Council on 16/05/2019 and eventually approved om 05/07/2022.

MIBACT project
Sustainable mobility territorial system within the MIBACT Salento Arco Ionico project The study is part of a wider project focused on the promotion and valorisation of tourism and cultural heritage in 12 municipalities located along the jonian coast of the Province of Lecce. The project is funded by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism (MIBACT). TRT developed a wider area cycling network to connect the towns and points of interest in the inner territory with the coastline and interlink two main long distance cycle routes crossing the area: the national Apulian Aqueduct Cycle Route and the regional «Three Seas» Cycle Route. The new plan identified each cycling segment primarily on existing rural roads. Apart for verifiyng and describing the current status and characteristics of the different itineraries (level of difficoulty, POIs, etc.), the plan detailed the needed infrastructural interventions to improve safety and quality along the networks, including punctual elements like water points and signage. TRT has also developed a scheme for the promotion of the network as cycle tourism destination. Thematic routes and itineraries (e.g. wine route, industrial heritage, natural landscapes) have been associated to services and nodes activated and managed by local companies of the tourist sector and cycling associations.

Prato parking masterplan
Parking Master Plan of the city of Prato, Italy TRT drafted the Parking Master Plan of the city of Prato (Italy), a plan that intended to meet the needs of both the Municipal Administration and Consiag Servizi Comuni, the parking system manager in the city of Prato. The thematic analysis was developed after the preparation of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) and was contextual to the preparation of the Urban Traffic Plan. On-field activities (developed in the initial phase of the work) involved a wide street survey meant to gain precise knowledge on parking supply and demand of parking spaces. The Parking Master Plan, in addition to the provision of parking supply sizing for different areas of the city: identifies the most rational mix of parking regulation and pricing policies for each city district; modulates the parking tariffs on the basis of the urban characteristics of Prato; optimizes the multi-level garage system, encourages the use of parking spaces outside the city center as well as sets up a network of Park&Ride parkings.

SUMPORT project: Training on Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs)
SUMPORT project: training on Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) SUMPORT is a project funded under the Interreg Mediterranean EU programme. SUMPORT’s main objective is the improvement of sustainable mobility in MED port cities, by fostering the uptake of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans in the MED area, with a specific focus on integrating city- and port-related traffic flows in the sustainable public transport planning. Trainings for the drafting of SUMPs based on the EU SUMP concept elaborated by the European Commission and the EU guidelines are a key component of SUMPORT, thanks to which MED port cities not having or developing SUMPs will be able to gain knowledge and ability to draft this planning tool in their local contexts. TRT is in charge of the development and provision of the training programme, based on four modules to be delivered respectively in Valencia (ES), Koper (SI), Igoumentisa (EL) and Limassol (CY). The training programme is intended to provide public officials and local practitioners of SUMPORT cities with the basic knowledge useful to successfully complete a SUMP planning cycle. The proposed approach is based on the following pillars: face-to-face training offering both information and inspiration from experts, training relevant to the particular target (i.e. port cities), information streamlined and condensed (as there are enough manuals and guidance documents already).

City of Rozzano, mobility solutions for Città Nuova
Project for the new ’AT1-Città Nuova’ district in the Municipality of Rozzano: Sustainable mobility solutions “A human city does not separate its functions: the house here, the work there, the free time there… A human city is the one that creates the mixture: of activities, of income, of ages. The more mixed we do, the more human it is. “ (Jaime Lerner Architect and Urban Planner) The study addresses and offers solutions for the mobility impacts of the future development of the “AT1 – Città Nuova” area in the Municipality of Rozzano (MI). In depth multidisciplinary analyzes have led to the identification of the a suitable functional mix that allows a quality intervention which is sustainable from an environmental, social and economic perspective. While the business sector located in the northern area represents the driving force for developing the whole masterplan, the southern area will mainly host residences and services. TRT’s main activities were mainly related to: the selection of a suitable mobility scenario (transport and infrastructural), able to be developed gradually while following the evolution of the settlement intervention, with particular focus on sustainable mobility, low impact and with high management standards; the development of a transport study which, through solid quantitative analyzes and modeling simulations, defines the performance characteristics and the level of accessibility of the transport scheme selected for the area.
