Common use of Climate-smart mobility Clause in Contracts

Climate-smart mobility. More than half of the climate emissions in Umeå come from the area of travel and transport. It is therefore vital to effect change here if the climate goals are to be achieved. Through studies and test beds, Umeå Municipality has created a knowl- edge base about gender, socioeconomics, geographical differences, norms and values related to mobility. This knowledge is valuable in order to achieve permanently altered travel habits and create a sustainable mobility system throughout Umeå. Umeå Municipality has long worked for a more efficient and climate-smart mobility system. The Comprehensive Plan and its integrated transport strategy steer towards urban planning where sustainable modes of transport are prioritized. Umeå Municipality takes as its starting point six development strategies for a city that is cohesive and where the majority of growth takes place within a five-kilometre radius, and in rural locations accessible by public transport. Conditions are created for the sustainable modes of transport (bus, cycling, walking) while former motorway routes through central Umeå can be converted into city streets. A major travel habits survey of 30,000 randomly selected residents of Umeå was conducted in autumn 2022 using the digital tool TravelVu. The survey will provide fresh insight into the travel habits of the residents of Umeå and how they have changed since the previous survey in 2014. The data will be compiled and analysed so that it can be presented in an updated document in 2023 to aid decision making.‌‌ Umeå Municipality is conducting investigations and innovation projects to produce good data for making decisions ahead of upcoming investments. One important initiative is Umeå’s involvement in developing system demonstrators. Together with Uppsala, Linköping and Malmö, Umeå Municipality is working on the system demon- strator “Roadmap for mobility hubs” to produce guidance on preparing mobility hubs. Umeå is also developing its own location-based system demonstrator based in the district of Tomtebo strand as a way of enabling the sustainable and climate-neutral district to grow. Umeå’s geographical location, the export-intensive business community and ad- vanced research at the three universities are important aspects when it comes to travelling to and from the region. The Umeå region is dependent on efficient and reliable transport nationally and internationally. At the same time, Umeå has above- average consumption-based emissions from aviation for Sweden. This makes avi- ation’s climate transition an important issue. Together with Swedavia, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden and BioFuel Region, Umeå Municipality is investigating how northern Sweden can contribute to the transition of aviation through the FFFLY project (fossil-free aviation in northern Sweden), which will make its final report in 2023.

The results of the major 2022 TravelVu travel survey will provide fresh insight have been compiled in 2023, which has provided renewed insights into the travel habits of the Umeå residents of Umeå and how they have changed since the changes from previous survey in 2014surveys. The data will be compiled results show that short car journeys that offer great potential for replacement by sustainable modes of transport are largely made by men and analysed so that it can be presented people who live in an updated document in 2023 to aid urban areas. Overall, other important insights into travel among different groups, as well as travel within and between different districts, provide useful decision making.‌‌ Umeå Municipality is conducting investigations and innovation projects to produce good data for making decisions ahead the design and prioritisation of upcoming investmentsinitiatives for more sustainable travel. One important The Northern Access23 initiative is Umeå’s involvement in developing system demonstratorsbeing run through the municipal infrastructure company INAB together with organisations such as Kvarken Ports, Region Västerbotten and Wasaline. Together with UppsalaNorthern Access describes a logistics hub where north and south meet east and west, Linköping and Malmö, starting from Umeå Municipality is working on the system demon- strator “Roadmap for mobility hubs” to produce guidance on preparing mobility hubs. Umeå is also developing its own location-based system demonstrator based in the district of Tomtebo strand as a way hub in one of enabling northern Europe’s most expansive areas. Northern Access aims to facilitate efficient intermodal transport to and from the region alongside seamless logistics services, eco-friendly transport and sustainable and climate-neutral district to growbusiness opportunities. The geographical location of Umeå’s geographical location, the export-intensive business community sector and ad- vanced advanced research at the three universities are important aspects when it comes to travelling in terms of efficient and reliable transport to and from the region. The Umeå region is dependent on efficient a local, national, regional and reliable transport nationally and internationallyinternational level.

This makes avi- ation’s climate transition an important issue. Together issue for aviation, and the municipality of Umeå is working together with Swedavia, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden and BioFuel Region, Umeå Municipality is investigating Biofuel-region on how northern Sweden can contribute to the transition to be made by aviation as part of aviation through the FFFLY project Fossilfritt flyg i norra Sverige (fossilFossil-free aviation in northern Sweden) project, also known as FFFLY24. The insights from this project are being translated into activities as part of the Umeå Climate Roadmap, along with a renewed application for continued work on the transition for aviation (commencing in 2024, if granted). 21 Strategier för hållbar tillväxt - Umeå kommun (▇▇▇▇.▇▇, which will make its final report in 2023Swedish) 22 Innanför ringleden - Umeå kommun (▇▇▇▇.▇▇, Swedish) 23 ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇/ (Swedish) 24 ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇/en/projekt/fossilfritt-flyg-i-norra-sverige/
