Mobility management (MM) has been among Europe's prevailing approaches for promoting and achieving sustainable transportation in urban areas, with considerable work undertaken by researchers and practitioners in this area during the past two decades. However, development of MM policies and measures in European cities does not follow an organized and consistent approach for planning, designing, applying, and evaluating a comprehensive MM-system. In that context, the objective of this article is to propose a scheme, based on quality management (QM) principles, that would aid cities in systematically developing and deploying MM-plans and MM–measures and therefore in successfully supporting sustainability in their transportation system. The developed Quality Management Scheme for Mobility Management (QMSMM) is an integrated process of four major components, encompassing policy setting, planning, implementing, and monitoring and evaluating; these components are structured in a feedback loop and supported by a set of quality criteria per component. The structure, components, and elements of the QMSMM are presented in detail, along with supporting procedures for assessing a city's adaptation and compatibility with the scheme. Also, insights on a QMSMM demonstration to the MM-program of the city of Kortrijk, Belgium, are offered.
