The EU SUMP Platform organises annual conferences to promote the concept of SUMPs across the EU (now merged in the UMD 2020).
The conferences highlight the latest developments in urban mobility planning, foster the exchange of ideas and experiences and offer a networking opportunity:
• Sopot (Poland) in 2014
• Bucharest (Romania) in 2015
• Bremen (Germany) in 2016
• Dubrovnik (Croatia) in 2017
• Nicosia (Cyprus) in 2018
• Groningen (The Netherlands), 17 and 18 June 2019

What is transport poverty?
A term that refers to the social effects of transport-related deficiencies. Quite often the focus is on transport provision and basic needs
Source: HiReach project
An individual is transport poor if, in order to satisfy their daily basic activity needs, at least one of the following conditions apply:
Availability:
No suitable transport option available
Accessibility:
Transport options do not reach destinations and opportunities
Affordability:
High cost burden
Adequacy:
Travel conditions are dangerous, unsafe or unhealthy for the individual.
Time budget:
Excessive amount of time in travel

From transport poverty to mobility poverty
In a wider mobility poverty perspective the focus is also on “motility”– the potential to move –thus linked also to values and abilities that are crucial for understanding and navigating a mobility system

Children and youth
Source: HiReach project
• negative impacts on children’s health and safety of increased traffic• reduced independent mobility
• especially pupils and students, are the most frequent users of public transportation• car use is increasing less than before, or even declining, for young people who seem to
be less car-oriented than previous generations• new status symbols are not cars but internet and phones
• cycling is more fashionable amongst young urban professionals than driving• poor availability of public transport and high fares may prevent young people from having
access to education, work and social interactions, especially for those living in rural areas and /or low-income families

Elderly
Source: HiReach project
• public transport plays a crucial role, especially in rural areas, supporting an independent life and access to basic services, and reducing social isolation
• people continue to be active for more years, resulting from improved health, more travelling options, better foreign-language skills, and lifestyles (“forever young” megatrend)
• experience mobility limitations caused by increasing cognitive problems and physical impairments
• in using public transport, face many transport-related barriers linked to difficulties in reaching bus stops or accessing vehicles, fear of falling and apprehensions about personal security,
difficulties in reading timetables and destinations• deterioration of the ability to drive
www.eltis.org Speaker, DD.MM.YYYYwww.eltis.org Speaker, DD.MM.YYYY

Women and single parents
Source: HiReach project
• more likely to use public transportation than men (in general less access to private vehicles)
• public transport plays a crucial role in empowerment, access to opportunities and independence
• poor mobility and access to transport can prevent women from entering the labour market or lead to choose less profitable jobs because they are closer to home or easier to travel to
• engaged in childcare, domestic work and caring for elderly, sick or disabled relatives and therefore
more likely to work part-time, take on jobs nearer or better connected to home (even if
low-paid), or to decide not to work at all• more likely to combine trips/make trip chains than to make separate trips: commuter services
may cater less to women
www.eltis.org Speaker, DD.MM.YYYYwww.eltis.org Speaker, DD.MM.YYYY
Urban Mobility Days 2020
22
People with reduced mobility
Source: HiReach project
• wide diversity of impairments: reduced vision, reduced hearing, reduced movement, psychologically/mentally cognitively challenged
• travel less than non-disabled even if they have similar needs
• rely on private transport and depend on the support of relatives• access to transport has a significant impact on the quality of life and independence
• less likely to benefit from access to standard transport options if they are not designed taking their needs into account
• Most frequent mode of transport of this segment is the car as passenger• accessible transport information systems relevant for people with sensory
impairment or learning disabilities

23
People living in rural and deprived areas
Source: HiReach project
• wide variation in PT use with respect to the level of urbanisation: residents in large towns are almost twice as likely to use urban public transport as those in small to middle-sized or in rural villages
• observed differences in the use of public transport reflect not only the availability, but also the accessibility, of public transport in terms of proximity to bus, metro or tram stations
• in rural areas mobility needs are mostly satisfied by the use of cars, and usually forced to own one
• people living in remote and low-density rural areas usually have to cope with poor and infrequent public transport services
• walking and cycling is unsafe, and often unpractical
www.eltis.org Speaker, DD.MM.YYYYwww.eltis.org Speaker, DD.MM.YYYY
Urban Mobility Days 2020
24
Low income and unemployed
Source: HiReach project
• particularly reliant on local public transport services, since in many cases they cannot afford a private car or other means of transport
• the use of cars is closely related to income levels
• in remote areas often rely on private vehicles, posing a substantial financial burden on households (forced car ownership)
• availability of public transport and affordable fares affect employment opportunities and access to basic services
• less mobile, limiting themselves to those compulsory trips, such as to work, health services or food shops
www.eltis.org Speaker, DD.MM.YYYYwww.eltis.org Speaker, DD.MM.YYYY
Urban Mobility Days 2020
25
Migrants and ethic minorities
Source: HiReach project
• less likely to own a car than natives, owing to their less favourable economic conditions (buying a car and getting a driver’s license is costly)
• car access is lower among female migrants than among males, the gender gap being wider than that observed in the case of natives
• more likely to walk and to use public transport than natives, even if female migrants may find the latter less comfortable because of security issues
• cycling appears to be more popular among natives than among migrants, especially women
• language barriers and racial/religious discrimination• Tend to live together in communities in low income areas

How transport systems could be redesigned to favour inclusive mobility?
As we already know, many measures are heavily dependent on EU financial support, and some are difficult to incorporate into ordinary public transport policies at local, regional and national level owing to public budget constraints.
However, some of the measures implemented do not require large-scale investment, but
rather, above all, mainstreaming of the social inclusion perspective in transport policies.
