This module highlights the importance of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) in sustainable urban mobility planning. It introduces a monitoring and evaluation framework, process description and practical tools developed by the SUMPs for BSR project, tailored to help small and mid-sized cities with different capacities build effective local M&E processes. Participants will explore why M&E is essential—not just for tracking progress, but for making informed decisions based on real data and a clear understanding of the current mobility landscape. This is especially important in areas where data gaps persist, such as active mobility and urban logistics. In this way, M&E supports data-driven decision-making and helps cities plan sustainable measures with confidence. The module guides participants through the steps of creating a local M&E plan, structuring their processes and selecting meaningful indicators that are locally relevant and align with European standards. City experts will share hands-on examples and lessons learned to support adoption.
