EMW 2012 – Moving in the right direction
Action Plan on Urban mobility CE (september 30, 2009)
It is important that the municipalities adopt integrated policies for
the establishing of measures to meet the demand for mobility in
urban centers
The Ministry promotes the adoption of an approach by municipalities
transposing the environmental sustainability in the planning of
integrated local transport system
The planning tools: PUT e PUM
Italian law requires the adoption of the PUT and the PUM by
municipalities for the planning of urban mobility in the short and
medium and long term, according to an approach oriented to the
accessibility of the transport network, safety, reduction of
impacts environmental and energy consumption
PUT: short term (3 years max), provides the rationalization of
mobility, without the creation of new infrastructure (> 30.000
inh)
PUM: medium and long term (10 years max), integration of
urban mobility policies (>100.000 inh)
During the processing of PUM and PUT is expected the
participation of citizens through the implementation of their
instructions, and interested stakeholders to share planning
choices
Activities of the Ministry – The PUM implementation
proposals
 The extension of the PUM adoption
also to municipalities with fewer than 100,000
inhabitants (limit by Law 340/2000);
 Reorganisation of the legislation on mobility planning
in coordination with the Ministry
of Infrastructure and Transport and the ANCI, so that the PUM is the collector and officer of interventions to
reduce environmental impacts;
 Revision of Guidelines for the processing of PUM:
this activity is now underway by a
working group with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, in order to introduce local planning in the
following priority actions:
 improvement of local public transport;
 intermodality;
 rationalization of urban logistics distribution;
 promotion of cycling;
 safety of vulnerable road users;
 Integration between PRG and PUM: the PUM should be prepared during the processing of the
PRG, that is automatically updated with the approval of the PUM;
 Aggregation of neighboring towns in the processing of the PUM;
 Allocation of funds only for activities planned in the PUM.
Activities of Ministry in view of EMW 2012
 The Ministry will dedicate a special section of his institutional
website to promote EMW 2012 and to advertise all related
activities; the EMW logo is always present on the institutional
website of the Ministry during EMW 2012;
 It will be activated a newsletter, addressed to the participating
municipalities;
 The Minister will send a letter to all the Italian municipalities to
stimulate the active membership to the EMW 2012;
 In agreemet with Ministry of Education, will be sent a letter to
primary schools to promote the iniatives “Walking to school” and
“Car free”
EMW 2013 – Cities more livable and more intelligent
In the Action Plan on Urban Mobility is evident that 72% of
Europeans citizens live in urban areas. In Italy the transport
sector produces over 49% of primary PM10 emissions: more than
65% of those derived from road transport (Source: Istituto Superiore per la
Protezione e la Ricerca Ambientale, ISPRA)
Cities need efficient public transport systems, sustainable and
competitive system of distribution of goods with low impact, a
renewed focus on low users, the distribution of forms of
alternative mobility.
EMW 2013 – Proposal
Smart Cities is an integrated approach for the optimum efficiency
of the urban system, able to move research and development of
innovative applications in many areas, from energy to
transportation, from telecommuting to personal services
 Intermodality – Supporting the use of different solutions for urban
mobility, reducing the use of private cars
 Electric mobility – Support to research and mass-diffusion of electric
vehicles, awareness towards the production of energy from renewable
sources
 Path mobility and safety of vulnerable road users – Supporting
initiatives to increase pedestrian and cycle mobility and interventions that
reduce the accident rate of vulnerable road users
