About

Held on 28–29 October 2025 in Helsinki, the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) training brought together 34 dedicated urban transport specialists for an intensive capacity-building event. This training marked the third event in Phase II of the SUMP training series, which is organised by the European Investment Bank (EIB) on behalf of the Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport of the European Commission.

The event included a total of 9 training modules (3 core and 6 electives) on SUMP-related topics that provided a detailed overview of the challenges and best practices in establishing SUMPs.

The training began with introductions by Edgar Pyhälä, Senior Specialist, Ministry of Transport and Communications, along with EIB Senior Loan Officer / Public Sector Reija Ylönen, followed by a tour de table. The training was provided by Christiaan Kwantes, Kristina Gaučė and Mark Finer.

During the first day trainees reviewed the basics of SUMP methodology and practice, explored the link between strategic plans, programming, pipeline and project preparation, and discussed the interface between local and strategic transport. The day finished with discussions on multi-modal plan scenario building in SUMPs, and demand management.

The second day covered sessions on SUMPs for small and medium sized cities, transport decarbonization and inclusive and accessible mobility. The training session ended with a discussion on freight and logistics, before the final wrap-up and conclusions.

Thanks are due to Maija Stenvall and the rest of the team at the Ministry of Transport and Communications (Traficom) for their active support with arrangements and with the staff at Allas Pool for their assistance with the venue logistics.
