Drafting of the Monitoring Report of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan of the Municipality of Piacenza. Verification of the status of implementation of SUMP measures and performance of indicators representative of the Plan objectives
TRT was commissioned by the Municipality of Piacenza to draft the Monitoring Report of the current SUMP (Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan), approved by Municipal Council Resolution no. 57 of 28/12/2020. The activity consists in verifying the implementation status of the measures proposed by the SUMP and to provide the trend of the indicators representative of the plan objectives as selected by the MIT (Italian Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport) Guidelines. The Monitoring Report is functional to highlight the impacts on the mobility system and the environment, in order to establish a transparent relationship between the Administration, citizens and stakeholders on how the objectives identified in the Plan have been pursued.
The monitoring activity was also an opportunity to assess the effectiveness of the proposed actions on the basis of the state of implementation of the SUMP and the results achieved so far, and at the same time to lay the foundations for the revision and updating of the SUMP.
The activities were structured as follows:
- Reading the state of implementation of the measures foreseen by the current SUMP in both the Reference Scenario and the Plan Scenario highlighting the interventions completed, under construction, in the final and executive design phase or subject to feasibility studies, as well as the interventions not yet started;
- Estimation of the indicators provided by the current SUMP in order to identify the changes in the different time horizons examined: base year (2019), state of affairs (2023) and the trend with respect to the achievement of the 2030 targets. In particular, both the minimum indicators by the MIT, the additional indicators required by the Emilia Romagna Region, and the context indicators identified by the Piacenza SUMP were estimated.
- Finally, the Monitoring Report provides useful indications for the updating phase of the SUMP. In this regard, the targets to 2030 indicated by the current SUMP were compared with those indicated by the most recent instruments (PRIT 2025, PAIR 2030, and RER Strategy 2030) consistent with the choices made in the European and national arena. Based on these aspects, potential areas for intervention when updating the SUMP have been highlighted, with the update expected to be completed by December 2025, five years after its approval.
