Decision making in sustainable mobility planning is multi-faceted, involving environmental, socio-economic and political considerations. Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs), require for: cooperation across the governance levels (linking metropolitan regional policies to local ones) and institutional barriers; inclusiveness (involvement of citizens and stakeholders); prioritization of the proposed measures and their funding (to create a realistic time plan and maximize sustainable impacts in the functional area); specific data-oriented approached to monitor the “way-forward” and future SUMP updates. FOCUS brings together 9 partners from 6 EU countries to exchange their experiences in new (innovative) Decision Support Tool (DST) approaches that can be applied for decision making for a zero-carbon sustainable mobility planning (considering also the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic in mobility planning priorities). The overall objective will be to increase regional and local capacities in inclusive decision making for zero-carbon mobility to ensure that, on one hand, the most effective measures and innovations will be finally implemented and monitored by the different local areas and, on the other hand, those measures look outside of the local borders following common principles and targets but also common technical specifications. The proposed DST will ensure the integration of all the local plans to an extensive regional plan which will maximize the target of zero-carbon mobility for the whole region.
