The ERDF funds are contributing greatly to the urban development of the municipality of La Rinconada (Seville). One of the most significant lines within this strategy is the Promotion of Sustainable Urban Mobility.

Among the different actions that are being developed, it is worth highlighting the one called: ‘‘Sustainable Mobility Actions. Updating and Implementation of the SUM Plan: Cycle Paths’’.

This operation consisted, on the one hand, in the contracting of a consultancy service for the preparation and updating of the 2007 Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUM Plan), renamed ‘‘Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUM Plan) 2017-2020’’, and on the other hand, in the implementation of the proposals resulting from the same, which turned out to be a priority, as far as cycle paths are concerned.

With the renewal of the SUM PLAN, a detailed analysis of the municipality's mobility has been carried out in order to promote and encourage improvements aimed at promoting sustainable mobility and traffic-calming, ensuring a balance between the situation and the mobility and accessibility needs of the population.

From this, Sustainable Urban Mobility is understood as the overall form of travel in the municipality that is most beneficial from a social, economic and environmental point of view, in accordance with current regulations.

The main product that has been obtained from the execution of this operation has consisted of the provision of two new cycle paths that have improved the interconnection of the network, adding 6.3 km, reaching a total of 39.3 km of cycle paths in the municipality.

The total investment in this action was €453,600.00, of which €362,880.00 came from the co-financing of the ERDF Funds. Specifically, the preparation of the SUM Plan has involved an expenditure of €42,350.00, and €409,832.50 has been invested in the execution of the cycle paths proposed in it.
