The Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning (SUMP) process deals with barriers to improve accessibility and quality of life in urban mobility. Public opinion is highly essential for this process because it presents the real needs of road users. This paper illustrates the influence of public opinion on using Private Mobility Vehicle (PMV) in urban. A survey was carried out with 400 participants in Palermo, Italy. The results suggested that there was heterogeneity in gender and age groups in subcategories which represented people who use, do not use, and completely reject, using PMVs in urban. In addition, it was explored that there was a statistically significant relationship at 95% confidence level between sociodemographic characteristics (gender and age groups) and public opinion on PMV using. Employment status was found as an important parameter in transport planning. It was also showed that there was an inconsistency between local and national results. The results suggested that sociodemographic characteristics and public opinion should be investigated in further studies. In addition, a participatory planning process should be carried out to monitor for reliable evaluation in urban transport planning.

The article deals with the sustainable urban mobility indicators framework. Currently, over half of the world’s population resides in cities. This urbanization trend is expected to continue and more than 80 per cent of humanity is expected to live cities by 2050. The urbanization process is accompanied by economic growth, but also drives the consumption of materials and energy, the production of waste, and the emission of greenhouse gases and impacts city mobility quality. Sustainable development is the main paradigm of modern city development which presupposes a balance between the needs of the present and development opportunities for future generations. Strategic transport planning in modern European cities takes the form of developing and implementing Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. Ukrainian cities do not stand aside from European trends and are gradually developing and implementing urban mobility plans. An integral part of transport planning is the development of indicators of sustainable urban mobility. Sustainable mobility indicators provide information on current trends in the development of the society, city system viability, and the functioning of its elements. The development of effective, easily calculated, and interpreted indicators will reduce public costs and increase the efficiency of strategic transportation planning. The development of indicators of sustainable urban mobility involves careful analysis and systematization of data and finally results in indicators frameworks development. Sustainable mobility indicators frameworks based on important relationships between infrastructure needs and the environment, infrastructure and transportation impacts on the economy, environment, and social well-being. These frameworks can be used to help agencies refine their visions as well as develop policies, planning procedures, and measurement and monitoring systems for achieving sustainable city mobility. The development of such frameworks for Ukrainian cities requires the study of international experience and taking into account the national characteristics of the country.
