10th SUMP Award

As part of EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK, the European Commission presents the annual European SUMP Award to a planning authority which demonstrates excellence in sustainable urban mobility planning. Celebrating the 10 year-anniversary of the SUMP award, the theme is "Be safe and healthy with sustainable mobility".

The aim of the SUMP Award is to encourage the adoption of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) by local authorities across Europe and to reward outstanding achievements in each year's thematic priority area. Acknowledging current challenges and shifts in urban planning, this year local authorities are encouraged to showcase their outstanding plan to create a safer and healthier mobility system while reigniting trust in public transportation services.

EU Urban Road Safety Award 2021

The EU Urban Road Safety Award highlights the contribution made by local authorities towards improving the safety of European roads.

It rewards outstanding and innovative achievements by local authorities in the area of road safety and encourages the exchange of good practice across Europe.

Recognising the crucial role that towns and cities across Europe play in improving road safety, especially in light of the fact that 38% of road fatalities and more than 50% of serious road injuries occur on urban roads, the award rewards local authorities for adopting holistic measures to improve road safety, within the spirit of the internationally recognised 'Safe System' concept.
