Figure 61. Overview of Rome Although PUMS has presented an outstanding outline of the current mobility situation assessment which even has addressed critical points concluding the milestone of the first phase, it lacks more details related to their planned timeline and its application to the plan development. In addition, for the following plans, it is necessary to clarify the preliminary evaluations related to human and financial resources to avoid compromising the success of the pl

4.4.2. Phase 2 | Strategy Development

PUMS has presented its strategy process at the end of Volume I and the beginning of Volume II throughout many chapters and subchapters inside both documents. Hence, the steps from the SUMP cycle Phase 2 (Strategy Development) have been investigated in the analyses below.

Step 4 build and jointly assess scenarios: PUMS has deeply explored different scenarios in Volume II which has been the best-case study exploring this step. It has clearly defined its scenarios:

i. Scenario di Piano PUMS (SP in English, SUMP Scenario): consists of specific actions and interventions to be implemented within 10 years from the approval of the Plan

itself; the Plan scenario is compared with the Reference Scenario (SR), which includes the actions envisaged, regardless of the implementation of the SUMP interventions (Roma Servizi per la Mobilità, 2019b, p. 21) ii. Scenario di Riferimento (SR in English, Reference Scenario): occurs due to the natural demographic and urban evolution of the system and the effect on the transport system and the mobility of the interventions carried out by other specific plans (Roma Servizi per la Mobilità, 2019b, p. 21) iii. Scenario di Piano (SP in English, Plan Scenario): constructed through a comparative assessment of alternative scenarios, considering the priority interventions defined at the end of the first participatory path, also including the interventions already planned by the Administration and/or present in the plans adopted and approved by the same (Roma Servizi per la Mobilità, 2019b, p. 21)

PUMS has also mentioned that SP provides a schedule of the interventions to be implemented in the short-term (5 years) and long-term (10 years), as well as estimated costs and possible financial coverage, highlighting the available resources in the municipality budget (Roma Servizi per la Mobilità, 2019b). Therefore, a complex evaluation and program methodology based on the SUMP guidelines has been done, considering many aspects, such as, social, economic, and environmental impacts.

Step 5 develop vision and strategy with stakeholders: PUMS has defined its vision based on benefitting citizens, the economy, and society. Moreover, it has presented four main areas of interest, i. (in English, Effectiveness and efficiency of the mobility system); (in English, Energy and environmental sustainability) (in English, Road Safety) - (in English, Socio-economic sustainability), which further has been subdivided into macro-objectives and specific objectives addressing all transport modes and mobility elements (Roma Servizi per la Mobilità, 2019a). Hence, the participatory approach through this step has been mentioned, reinforcing that it has been throughout the entire planning process, consequently SUMP guidelines.
