Objectives:
The objective of SUM is to transform mobility in more than 15 European Cities by 2026, and increase this number to 30 cities by 2030. The transformation involves the integration of new and shared mobility systems with public transport. Intermodality, interconnectivity, sustainability, safety, and resilience are at the core of this innovation.
