Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan for the Area of Boka
Bay and the Old Royal Capital Cetinje

2. Main Approach to
Low Carbon Transport

3. The three rules of sustainable mobility
REDUCE vehicle km traveled
( avoid unnecessary trips, car pooling)
SHIFT modes
(walk, cycle, public transport)
IMPROVE fuels

4. ATSYSTEMLEVEL
What is Low Carbon Transport?
ATVEHICLELEVEL
• Walking, cycling,
public transport
GHG emission
reduction through
modal shift towards
energy efficient modes
Low Carbon
Modes
• Transit Oriented Urban
Development
GHG emission
reduction through less
vehicle km traveled
Interoperability
• For both private and
public vehicles
GHG emission
reduction through
better use of energy
Energy Efficient
Vehicles
• For both private and
public vehicles
GHG emission
reduction through
renewable energy
Low Carbon
Fuels

5. • Environmental, safety and economic benefits
– Better air quality
– Improved quality of life
– Improved health standards
– Reduced road congestion and time savings
– Economic development – innovative solutions
– Lower energy costs
– Reduced dependency on oil
What are the benefits?

8. • Targets for 2020:
– 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) on
1990 levels and 30% reduction if other developed
countries make comparable reduction commitments
– 20% increase in renewable energy – wind, solar and
biomass – of total energy production
– 20% reduction in energy consumption of projected 2020
levels by improving energy efficiency

EU Policy: 20-20-20 Targets

9. • Transport Efficiency:
– Better infrastructure planning
– Facilitation of modal shift from road to other more energy efficient modes
– Adaptation of advanced information technologies (ITS)
• Energy Efficiency:
– Support of fuel efficiency regulations
– Development of new technologies and engines
– Promotion of market for clean and energy efficient road transport vehicles
(Green Public Procurement)
• Alternative Fuels and Propulsion Systems:
– Extensive research to enable a shift from fossil fuel dependence to
decarbonized transport
– Policy interventions to bring emission reductions closer to the set targets

10. Sustainable urban mobility plan for area of
Boka bay and old royal capital Cetinje

11. • A project awarded to the SYSTEMA-WYG International
-CEED Consulting Consortium by UNDP Montenegro in
August 2015
• It consists of a component of the “Towards Low
Carbon Tourism” project launched in 2014
• It aims at developing in co-operation with the
Municipalities in the Kotor Bay area (Kotor, Tivat,
Herceg Novi) and the Royal Capital of Cetinje, a poly-
centric Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (Poly-SUMP)
for the region
Project Background

12. • Facilitating the development of a more accessible,
safe, secure, clean, environmentally friendly and
reliable urban transport system for the area
• Addressing specific issues of the area, such as the
strong seasonal patterns due to the tourist attractions
of the area, as well as the limitations of the transport
systems
• Focusing on both land and maritime transport
• Providing solutions for non-motorized and motorized
transport modes
Project Overall Objectives

13. • Improve accessibility
• Improve intermodal transport connections
• Improve and increase the use of local public transport
system
• Promote low carbon transport options, such as cycling, in
the region through the development of proper
infrastructure
• Improve the traffic safety levels
• Develop an exemplary solution on SUMP guidelines
(flexible solutions of public transport, electronic ticketing
systems and intelligent information to passengers)
Project Specific Objectives (1/2)

14. • Implement measures for environmentally friendly transport
solutions within the municipalities and between them
• Improve the air quality (by renewing the public fleet with
methane-fuelled / electric/ solar powered vehicles;
providing valid public transport modes including public
maritime transport as an alternative to the private
transport)
• Bring the traffic out of the city centres (by building parking
areas and interchange car parks out of the city centres)
• Promote future development of low carbon transportation
modes - cable car Kotor - Cetinje, which is planned to
connect two touristic locations
Project Specific Objectives (2/2)

15. Poly – SUMP Methodology 1/2
• Prepare well by understanding your region:
– Identify and understand the specific conditions of the polycentric region
• Create common ground and vision:
– Bring all involved stakeholders together
– Set rational and transparent goals for the polycentric region as a whole
• Use the outcomes and elaborate the plan:
– Use the outcomes of the previous two steps as inputs
– Develop a sustainable urban mobility plan for the region

16. Poly – SUMP Methodology 2/2

17. Project Outputs (1/2)
• Task 1: First Formal Task Force Group / Inception Phase
– Establish strong communication channels with the representatives of the
four cities
– Ensure active participation of all involved stakeholders in project
implementation
– Understanding of all stakeholders current and potential role
– Identification of available and missing necessary data for the successful
implementation of the project
• Task 2: Existing Situation and Data Collection
– Collection of all necessary data (desktop research and traffic surveys)
– Clear understanding of the existing situation with regards to the existing
transport systems
– Identification of problematic areas and issues that the cities face
– Traffic and socio-economic projections for the region

18. Project Outputs (2/2)
• Task 3: Low Carbon urban Transport Options
– Identification and review of the potential low carbon urban transport
options for the region
– Quantification of GHG emission reduction potential of the identified
projects/interventions
• Task 4: Development of a Poly-SUMP
– Organisation of a Future Search Workshop
– Identification of measures for promoting sustainable urban development
– Grouping the measures into alternative development scenarios
– Identification of the optimal scenario for the region
– Development of a Poly-SUMP
• Task 5: Identification of opportunities for low carbon investments
