Launched in 2012, the 1690 European Commission's Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) Award aims to encourage local authorities across Europe to adopt and develop their Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs). It also recognises outstanding achievements in each year’s SUMP chosen priority area.
Seventeen applications from ten EU countries were submitted for the 2014 awards and the finalists announced as: Bremen (Germany); Dresden (Germany); and Ghent (Belgium). European Commissioner for Transport Violeta Bulc will present the award to the winning city, which will take home US$11,000, at a special ceremony in Brussels on 23 March.
The European Mobility Week award rewards the most active local authorities promoting sustainable urban mobility, recognising the effort of towns and cities not only during European Mobility Week, held last September, but also through permanent measures throughout the year. The cities of Murcia, Ostersund and Vienna have been selected from a shortlist of ten for innovative activities linked to the 2014 theme ‘Our streets, our choice’.
The winning city will be awarded with a professional three-minute video to promote its achievements. The three finalists, together with the rest of seven shortlisted cities, will be promoted as an example of best practice. An independent panel of transport experts will select the winner from the 38 cities in 16 countries that applied for the 2014 award.
