In the Republic of Lithuania, the Minister of Transport approved Recommendations for preparing sustainable mobility plans. Also, the Ministry of Transport issued a document, “Promoting sustainable urban mobility”, concerning regional progress measures. This was renamed as the Guidelines on the Preparation of Sustainable Mobility Plans, i.e. without “urban”, focusing on the fact that Sustainable Mobility Plans were recommended not only for cities but also for regions or other urban areas. The updated guidance covers ten thematic areas, including public transport, active mobility and micro-mobility, promoting sustainable mobility, traffic and public safety,  traffic organisation and mobility management,  logistics (sustainable logistics plan), accessibility of the transport system, alternative fuel vehicles and infrastructure development, intelligent transport systems, digitisation, innovation, and new mobility services and development of TEN-T transport interchange infrastructure.

One of the objectives of the “National Energy and Climate Action Plan of the Republic of Lithuania for 2021-2030” is “Developing modern transport infrastructure and sustainable mobility”. It is important due to climate change issues. Recommended activities are focused on increasing the attractiveness of public transport, reducing urban congestion by improving the infrastructure, improving land transport by developing missing links, improving intermodality, developing pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, introducing and developing environmental measures, reducing CO2 and others. Implementing sustainable urban mobility plans was selected among three existing policy measures in the transport field, as this sector was responsible for 28% of the GHG emissions in Lithuania in 2007.
