Policy measures
Measures are policy actions, infrastructure changes, service rollouts, or regulatory shifts implemented by cities to impact how people move through urban spaces. Each measure reported falls under one of two strategic categories: push and pull measures.
| Type | Policy measure | Implemented by |
|---|---|---|
| PUSH | Congestion charges | 3 cities – |
| PUSH | Limited traffic zone/Pedestrianisation of streets | 6 cities – |
| PUSH | New policy measure for NSM and PT | — |
| PUSH | Parking charges | 7 cities – |
| PUSH | Parking supply management | 2 cities – |
| PUSH | Restricted parking | 7 cities – |
| PUSH | Speed limits | 3 cities – |
| PULL | Central PT planning and construction program | 4 cities – |
| PULL | Dedicated parking spaces for carsharing/micromobility | 3 cities – |
| PULL | Dynamic pricing of NSM | 3 cities – |
| PULL | Improved information about the availability of shared modes | 4 cities – |
| PULL | Improved NSM infrastructure, e.g. bike lanes & "park & ride" | 8 cities – |
| PULL | Introduction of new NSM services | 5 cities – |
| PULL | Introduction of new PT infrastructures/lines | 5 cities – |
| PULL | Mobility hubs | 7 cities – |
| PULL | Nudging (gamification or rewards) | 2 cities – |
| PULL | On demand vehicle sharing action plan | 4 cities – |
| PULL | Scheduling integration in MaaS services | 7 cities – |
| PULL | Streets retrofitting/introduction of priority lanes | 4 cities – |
| PULL | Ticketing integration in MaaS services | 7 cities – |
| PULL | Widening PT geographical area | 2 cities – |
Insights from reported policy measures
Main data driven cross-city patterns from the platform's analytical tools. Insights from Ridge regression Impact analysis and MCDA decision tool.
How to read this page
Everything below is produced by the analysis tools on this platform, from data submitted by SUM Living Labs and from expert surveys carried out within the project. It reflects patterns across cities, it does not include local indicators, local context, or the local knowledge each city holds about why something worked.
These results are a starting point for a conversation, not a recommendation for any individual city. Each section links to the full interactive analysis, where you can change the stakeholder perspective and see every ranking. For the methodology, its assumptions and its documented limitations, see the project's official deliverables in the SUM resources library.
Data driven policy measure ranking
Estimation of how the policy measures contributed to the KPIs performance across cities, provided by ridge regression analysis (cities, policy measures and KPIs before vs after values).
