The purpose of the project is to prepare a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan for Izmir (SUMP Izmir) in accordance with the best European practices and standards. SUMP Izmir is intended to define policies and actions to be implemented in the mobility sector, based on an ambitious long-term vision, clear targets and objectives, and efficient packages of measures. These policies and interventions will incentivize sustainable mobility, increase the use of non-motorized trips, shared mobility and public transport. The proposed measures should facilitate the shift away from car dependent travel and contribute to reduction of congestion, de-carbonisation, and other negative effects due to excessive use of private vehicles. The project is part of the ambitious de-carbonisation process the city engaged itself in as part of the 100 cities mission of the European Commission.
