Regulation (EU) 2024/1679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 June 2024 on Union guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network, amending Regulations (EU) 2021/1153 and (EU) No 913/2010 and repealing Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013 (Text with EEA relevance)

2.Long-term vision and short-term implementation plan: a SUMP should include a — or be linked to an existing — long term strategy for the future development of transport infrastructure and multi-modal services. It should also include a delivery plan for the short-term implementation of the strategy. It should be embedded into an integrated approach for sustainable development of the urban area and linked to relevant land-use and spatial planning. Both the long term vision and short-term implementation plan should also be addressed in financial terms directly in the SUMP or, alternatively, by reference to other existing higher-level or related planning, without anticipating financial commitments.

3.Integration of the different modes of transport: a SUMP should promote multimodal transport through the integration of the different modes and measures aimed at facilitating accessible, seamless and sustainable mobility. It should include actions to increase the modal share of the more sustainable forms of transport such as public transport, shared mobility, active mobility, and, as appropriate, inland waterway and maritime transport. It should also include actions to promote zero and low emission mobility, in particular with regard to the greening of the urban fleet, to improve accessibility for all users and reduce congestion, as well as to improve road safety in accordance with Union road safety standards, in particular for vulnerable road users including, where relevant, active modes users.

4.Effective functioning of the trans-European transport network: a SUMP should duly take into account the impact of various urban measures on the traffic flows, both passenger and freight, on the trans-European transport network with the aim of ensuring seamless transit, bypass, or interconnection through and around the urban nodes, including of zero and low emission vehicles. It should in particular include actions to alleviate congestion, improve road safety and remove bottlenecks affecting the traffic flows on the trans-European transport network.

5.Participatory approach: the development and implementation of a SUMP should be based on an integrated approach with a high level of cooperation, coordination and consultation across the different levels of government and relevant authorities. Citizens, representatives of civil society, and economic actors should also be involved.

6.Monitoring and performance indicators: a SUMP should include objectives, targets and indicators underpinning the current and future performance of the urban transport system. Its implementation should be monitored using performance indicators.
