Koprivnica has a long tradition of implementing sustainable mobility measures in the framework of the Local Agenda 21. In July 2015 Koprivnica’s SUMP was approved by the City Council, after an intensive process with stakeholders from regional and national level, including public participation and thorough cooperation between all municipal departments. The overall aim of the SUMP is to improve traffic safety while reducing noise and air pollution by promoting walking, cycling, public transport and electric vehicles.A SUMP competence centre ensures transfer of knowledge in Croatia and South-Eastern Europe.
According to a survey before the DYN@MO, the overall modal shift in the town centre was 57% vs. 43% but commuter transport is less sustainable (70% vs. 30%). The lack of public transport was seen as the main obstacle for improvement which could only be achieved by improved planning and stakeholder engagement at the regional, national and trans-boundary level.
By developing a SUMP, the city developed a mobility policy that met people’s needs, guaranteed accessibility for all and reduced the negative environmental impact of transport. The existing Koprivnica Transport Study as well as the Local Agenda 21 and the Covenant of Mayors’ Sustainable Energy Action Plan provided important input for the development of the SUMP. Successful development of local mobility strategies and implementation of measures based on the Local Agenda 21 has improved the local transport sustainability.
The innovative aspect of SUMP development in Koprivnica was the engagement of a wider community of stakeholders at the regional and national level, and involving them in the preparation and discussion. Furthermore, the development of a SUMP resulted in know-how, creating a SUMP competence centre for the wider international region.
The main objectives of this measure were to:
The City of Koprivnica has developed and implemented its own sustainable mobility measures following the strategies adopted at the local level. Two four-year programmes of sustainable transport called “Town on the move” and “Streets for people” and the development of the Local Agenda 21 have included elements similar to a SUMP, such as public participation in decision-making processes referring to sustainable transport.
To prepare for the work on SUMP the following tasks have been performed:
