Abstract | This document was drafted in June 2020. In most parts of Europe, local, national and European travel restrictions are now coming to an end and, in many places, economic sectors are now reopening. The European Commission has launched the Re-open EU website to help citizens to access real-time info to travel as safely as possible across the European Union. The mobility sector has come centre stage for getting health workers to hospital, delivering food to people, distributing personal protective equipment, offering mobility options to those who are most deprived, and much more. The past months have proven the importance of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) in tackling emergency situations: SUMPs have established trust between urban mobility stakeholders, established decision-making procedures and put structures in place for implementing measures. The SUMP process has provided cities with a portfolio of fit-for-purpose measures to be fast-tracked to combat the impact of COVID-19 on mobility in urban centres, and also to create opportunities for people to make best use of the city and its public spaces. In this document, we include lessons learned for immediate, mid-term and longer-term actions that European cities and regions are developing as we write. This Practitioners’ Briefing provides a first quick scan of good practice examples and SUMP-related issues. The SUMP guidance editorial board commits itself to providing a more in-depth guidance document in autumn 2020, in the aftermath of COVID-19 (or in case of a second wave of infections) and to prepare for the future –whatever it brings. |
