  Project Goal
 


PILOT was a European project, which demonstrated the preparation of Sustainable Urban Transport Plans (SUTP) in four European cities: Braila (RO), Evora (PT), Lancaster (UK) and Tallinn (EE).
In parallel, building upon the experience of these four cities and relying on experts from leading local authorities and organisations in this field, PILOT proposed tools, guidelines and recommenda-tions for the elaboration of sustainable urban transport plans in other European regions and local authorities.

SUTP Manual
Practitioner handbook for preparing SUTPs. The document is a reference manual for putting Sustainable Urban Transport Planning (SUTP) into practice. Rupprecht Consult elaborated the methodo-logy for the SUTP planning process and co-ordinated the work on the document.

The manual is intended to give a concise overview on SUTP. In the first place, the manual addresses local authorities: municipalities, cities, urban agglomerations and their respective sectoral administrations. They are the key actors responsible for taking up the issue of SUTP and for driving the entire process.

The five main chapters of the manual provide a gradual introduction to the complex issue of SUTP. They are divided into two parts:

  • PART I (chapters 2-3) - offers a definition and overview of the subject "SUTP", placing it also in the wider context of European policy developments;

  • PART II (chapters 4-6) - contains a short description and explanation of the wide range of activities required to put a complete SUTP process into practice.

The manual has been tested in the four PILOT cities and is now available in its final version for broad dissemination.

"Sustainable Urban Transport Plans (SUTP) and urban environment: Policies, effects, and simulations. Review of European references regarding noise, air quality and CO2 emissions" (October 2005).

This study has been carried out by Rupprecht Consult on behalf of the Environment DG to provide an overview of the existing knowledge about the efficiency of specific transport measures regarding air pollution, CO2 emissions and noise. The study has supported the newly adopted Thematic Strategy on the Urban Environment and will inform the guidance on Sustainable Urban Transport Plans (SUTP), which is announced in this Strategy.

"Final Report of the Working Group report on sustainable urban transport plans" (2004)

The Expert Working Group on Sustainable Urban Transport Plans (SUTP), which was moderated by Rupprecht Consult, has been set up in 2004 by the Environment DG in the context of the preparation of the Thematic Strategy on the Urban Environment. This group was composed of 20 highly qualified experts to obtain a balanced advice concerning SUTP implementation in all Member States. The Final Report of the group specifies some recommendations to the Commission's services. It aims to reflect and summarise the group's views regarding the specific design of procedures, instruments and measures needed for SUTPs. The results were an important basis for the PILOT project.
