Drafting of the Urban Plan of Sustainable Mobility of the Municipality of Monteroni di Lecce(LE) accompanied by verification of subjection to strategic environmental assessment (SEA)
The Municipality of Monteroni di Lecce (LE) has entrusted TRT Trasporti e Territorio with the service of drafting the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (PUMS). The Plan is financed by the Apulia Region as part of the authority’s commitment to provide municipalities with strategic planning tools for the urban mobility and transport sector. TRT was chosen by the Administration in continuity with the recent work carried out for the elaboration of the General Urban Traffic Plan (PGTU), approved by the City Council in April 2024.
Starting from the knowledge of the territory acquired thanks to the previous PGTU, TRT has drafted the PUMS, a Pano document of a strategic nature with a 10-year time horizon, which represents a medium-long term guide capable of orienting the Administration’s decisions in the field of mobility.
The drafting of the PUMS developed through two phases. The first consisted in drafting the Plan’s Guidelines, containing the cognitive framework, the SWOT analysis and, consequently, the Plan’s objectives and strategies, including the description of indicators.
The cognitive framework included the superordinate planning framework, the analysis of mobility demand, infrastructure and services endowment, the position of traffic attractors as well as information related to mobility impacts (pollutants, accidents, motorisation rate, etc.).
The second phase included the identification of alternative Plan scenarios, monitoring, cost estimation, the results of the Plan Scenario assessment through the implementation of the strategic model MOMOS (MOdello per la MObilità Sostenibile) with the consequent extraction of transport, environmental, social and economic sustainability indicators.
MOMOS was applied to assess, in an aggregate way, the impact of the mobility policies introduced, such as the expansion of the bicycle network, new public transport services, the ZTL, speed moderation, etc..
A screening report was also prepared to accompany the second phase, in order to evaluate the exclusion of the Plan from the SEA process by the competent authority.
Monteroni SUMP was adopted with resolution n. 136 in the 8th on November 2024 by the Town Government Council and approved with resolution n. 6 in the 12th February 2025 by the Town Council.
