Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) Toolkit

The SUMP Toolkit is a set of products intended to support national and local government officials, planning practitioners, and policy makers of transitional and developing countries to design and implement a process for developing a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP).

To offer practical advice to implement a SUMP, the SUMP Toolkit builds on existing planning practices and takes into consideration integration, participation and evaluation principles following the MobiliseYourCity approach.
