Sustainable Urban Mobility and Reliable Transport (SUMART) TR2022AAP The ultimate goal of this Action is to encourage, improve and facilitate the efforts put forward by Turkish municipalities in their increasingly crucial role of pursuing sustainable and smart urban mobility services across city jurisdictions. It will be done by blending EU grants with a loan programme by by the French Development Agency (AFD). This AD combines an EU grant financing of EUR 15,000,000 with loans amounting to EUR 200 000 000. The grant financing &nbsp;will be implemented by the AFD as the entrusted entity. The Action will deliver a number of activities including technical assistance to key enabling stakeholders, policy dialogue, awareness and promotion activities. It will encourage peer exchange of experiences and best practices in Turkey, the EU and other candidate countries, as well as the preparation of sustainable urban mobility plans (SUMPs). The Action will also deliver on investment preparation support (feasibility studies, design, environmental and social safeguard documents) as well as investment implementation support for sustainable and smart urban mobility projects. It will focus on the emergence of integrated and innovative mobility pilot projects that will improve the integration of existing mobility structures with innovative mobility solutions. In this way, the Action will promote municipal investments in the de-carbonisation and the digitalisation of urban mobility. By promoting competitive, affordable, accessible, multi-modal and sustainable urban mobility, the Action contributes to SDG Target 11.2 ¿Affordable and Sustainable Transport Systems¿ and SDG 11.6 ¿Reduce the Environmental Impact of Cities¿. The Action &nbsp;aligns with key priorities of the European Commission (EC) that are recently announced through the new European Urban Mobility Framework. These include more ambitious approach to sustainable urban mobility planning and related indicators, stronger action to create climate-neutral cities, better synergies between different programmes (blended finance), more effective zero-emission city freight logistics and larger efforts to increase awareness and reinforce citizen engagement within and beyond the EU.&nbsp;This Action, proposed as a blending programme of grants and loans, will be considered as an Action under the Turkey Investment Platform[1] and shall follow the relevant provisions of the TIP with regards technical assessment and formal approval.
