The City of Kruševac has a population of 127,429 people and covers 854 km2 - this encompasses 101 'settlements'. Of these, 11 are classed as urban. They include the city centre and suburbs, constitute 64% of Kruševac's territory, and have 81,399 residents. The remaining 36% are classed as being rural, and integrate 89 'villages' that surround Kruševac. These areas are home to 46,030 people.
A modal split analysis was done during the development of the city's SUMP in 2016. This found that 44% of people walked; 3% cycled; 19% used public transport; 32% used cars; and 2% took taxis. Kruševac was shortlisted for the European Mobility Week Award 2016.
In November 2015, the City Council and City Assembly gave the green light for the development of Kruševac's Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) to begin. This process is expected to finish and the SUMP be adopted by the end of 2017. Kruševac will be the first city in Serbia to have a SUMP.
The target of SUMP is to achieve a modal split of“80:20” by 2030. The aim is for 80% of trips to be made on foot, by bike, or using public transport, with the amount of journeys made by cars going down to 20% from the current rate of 32%.

Long-term strategic goals:
The goal is to develop a city that is attractive and accessible city to all, regardless of age, gender, and socioeconomic background. The implementation of the SUMP can help make the city more attractive to tourists. There is already a basis to build upon as the E7 international walking route E7 and the EuroVelo 11 cycling route (Eastern Europe route) run through the city.
Kruševac's participation as a "follower city“ in several European projects - such as TIDE, SWITCH, and FLOW - and its membership of the CIVINET network proved helpful in the the SUMP development process. In addition, the city has participated in study visits under the as part of the BUMP and CIVITAS SATELLITE projects.
