Sustainable urban mobility planning concept as a holistic approach to traffic planning in cities is in recent years gaining its importance throughout Europe. Sustainable urban mobility plans (SUMP) are at its core. Preparation and implementation of high quality SUMPs demands additional knowledge and resources as well as comprehensive support from higher levels of government. More experienced countries tackle these through National SUMP programmes through which they establish centralization of all SUMP-connected activities, funding and capacity building. That such a comprehensive support is of great importance prove also results of the research conducted within the European projects CIVITAS PROSPERITY and CIVITAS SUMPs-Up in 2017. The research covered 28 European countries. Slovenia, developing already some elements of the National SUMP programme for the past few years, was also part of this research. That SUMPs are most successful in countries with effective and comprehensive national or regional support is the key message of this research. The aim of this paper is to present the key results of the above-mentioned research with a focus on situation in Slovenia as well as to define the framework conditions and activities for renewal and improvement of Slovenia%s National SUMP programme.
