As part of the SUMPORT project, this pilot action has introduced a bike-sharing system in the city of Igoumenitsa. The objective is to invest in environment-friendly mobility options to move around the city.

Challenges addressed
  • Traffic congestion especially during summer season.
  • Lack of intermodal ways of transport
  • Sustainable and actve mobility in the city
  • Get people used to ride the bicycle instead of the car
  • Multiply the use of the bicycle
  • Promote the bicycle as a way of transport instead of the car
  • Provide better service to multiply users
Main objectives
  • Enhance the number of bikers
  • Provide an alternative to the car to move around the city
  • Promote the use of bike as a healthy habit
  • Make the bike-sharing system as usable and well-maintained as possible

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.
