I am a professor of Urban Traffic Planning, and Urban Public Transportation at the University College CEPS Kiseljak, Traffic and Transport Engineering study program.
I am teaching a group of 20 students, who I have divided into 4 groups composed of 5 students each. Every group will be assigned to do specific tasks.
I have assigned them to prepare a Sustainable urban mobility plan . The SUMP will focus on promoting sustainable transportation practices to reduce environmental impact, improve accessibility, and enhance the overall quality of life in the city.
Tasks:
- Identify Main Mobility Challenges:
- Analyze current mobility patterns and identify the main challenges faced by private entities in terms of transportation.
- Assess the environmental, social, and economic impacts of current mobility practices.
- Develop Sustainable Mobility Objectives:
- Define specific objectives for the SUMP, aligning with the goals of reducing carbon emissions, promoting active transportation modes, and enhancing accessibility.
- Stakeholder Engagement:
- Engage with representatives from private entities to gather input and insights into their mobility needs and challenges.
- Collaborate with relevant stakeholders such as local government authorities, transportation agencies, and urban planners to ensure alignment with broader urban development plans.
- Data Collection and Analysis:
- Collect data on transportation modes used by employees and visitors of private entities.
- Analyze traffic patterns, congestion hotspots, and transportation infrastructure within the vicinity of private entities.
- Sustainable Mobility Solutions:
- Develop a range of sustainable mobility solutions tailored to the needs of each private entity, including but not limited to:
- Promoting carpooling and ridesharing initiatives.
- Encouraging the use of public transportation, cycling, and walking.
- Implementing telecommuting and flexible work arrangements.
- Enhancing infrastructure for electric vehicles and promoting their adoption.
- Implementation Plan:
- Outline a detailed implementation plan with specific actions, timelines, responsible parties, and resource requirements.
- Identify potential funding sources and mechanisms to support the implementation of sustainable mobility initiatives.
- Monitoring and Evaluation:
- Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor the effectiveness of the SUMP.
- Develop a framework for regular monitoring and evaluation to track progress towards achieving sustainability goals.
We will be preparing a SUMP for one specific municipality (for example Kiseljak), therefore we will need collaboration with Private Entities, Local Government Authorities, and Community Groups and Residents.
Are there any Private Entities and Local Government Authorities interested in participate and help in this training?
