Main implementation features

Context analysis
First, the PUMS analyses the state of development of the old SUMP, the level of execution and the level of impact of the former SUMP measures. With this data and the growth of the number of inhabitants, the scenarios fixed for the former SUMP were modified to adapt to a new situation. Finally, the new SUMP updates the data for a complete diagnosis through the municipality primary source and a complete phone survey.

Measures to secure horizontal and vertical integration and participation of all main stakeholders

  • Increase the accessibility at public transport stops
  • Increase the number of public bikes
  • Extend the kilometres of bike lanes network
  • Extend and improve the pedestrian zones
  • Increase the number of roads with a 30 Km/h speed limit
  • Increase the number of routes to schools
  • Adapt the public transport lines to better suit citizens’ needs
  • Work Transport Plans mandatory for largest firms.

Monitoring and evaluation procedures

The unique increase of the population of Rivas Vaciamadrid between 1980 and 2015 - from 500 to 81,000 inhabitants - implied major changes in the city mobility conditions.
While the inhabitants were mostly attracted by Madrid for work, studies or leisure in the eighties, they now have activities in Rivas Vaciamadrid as it consolidated as a city of tertiary sector employment, providing education and leisure centres as well.
Through its SUMP, the municipality of Rivas Vaciamadrid should therefore ensure the mobility of its citizens on its own territory and also allow a significant part of its population to commute towards the capital (commuters still represented approximately 40 per cent of the population in 2013).
