Sustainable Urban Mobility
The SUM Project aims to promote the implementation of local/regional policies regarding sustainable urban mobility, trying to minimize three serious problems: CO2 emissions causing the greenhouse effect, the energy dependence which puts us in a situation of high economic and political instability, and pollution of the cities which leads to serious consequences for health and quality of life.

The overall objective of The SUM Project is to contribute to the promotion and consolidation of sustainable urban transport modes through interregional cooperation.

The operational objectives are: _Promoting knowledge sharing and joint discussion on regional practices to benefit sustainable mobility, creating greater awareness in the field of sustainable urban mobility. _Enhancing the regions with less experience in new eco-friendly modes of transport in order that they can work together with more advanced regions in this field, drawing on their knowledge and expertise.
_Identifying the most effective practices to ensure that citizens adopt behaviours and habits more sustainable in urban mobility, analyzing information and awareness campaigns, the sustainable transport alternatives available and advantages for the population.
_Specifying in an Implementation Plan the necessary actions to implement the gained experiences and knowledge in each region through the participation in the program.
