As part of the SUMPORT project, the action concerns the testing of a carpooling system, allowing port workers of the Port of Valencia to share their own cars to commute from home to work. There are currently more than 6,500 workers at the Port premises and the aim of the action was to assess, update and improve the functionality and use of an existing, yet not used, carpooling system.

Challenges addressed
  • Mobility problems related with port activities
  • Traffic congestions
  • Air and noise pollution
  • Excessive use of private cars
  • Parking problems
Main objectives

The main objective is the promotion of the rational use of private cars among the port workers to reduce emissions and noise disturbance produced by commuting to/from the port area. This, in turn, can generate other benefits, such as improving public space in the port area and saving on fuel costs. The next step will be to extend the App to all Port workers

Project description

SUMPORT aims to increase the planning capacities on sustainable mobility of port cities through training activities and exchange of experience. Apart from the similar challenges that EU cities face, MED cities having ports are confronted with even more complex issues, needing a long-term mobility planning approach, integrating both city- and port-originated transport flows, in order to achieve a sustainable urban mobility. The main objective is to increase the planning capacities on sustainable mobility of port cities through training activities and exchange of experiences. The principal outputs of the project have been: (a) Conducting trainings for MED port city officials in drafting SUMPs, also benefiting from MED port cities already having them (b) Drafting SUMPs in two MED port cities and updating an already existing one (c) Implementing pilot actions and small-scale investments for sustainable mobility in six MED port cities (d) Implementing an e-learning platform for transferring project’s results. Cities having ports face some extra problems adding a greater degree of complexity within the urban mobility. This project attempted to improve the planning capacities of the cities in order to face this issue in better conditions.

Impact and results

The success of the pilot action depends on the assessment of the existing tool through a set of selected test users and meetings with them regarding problems, deficiencies, usability and potential improvements.
