Sustainable restart - councel for renewal of public transport and travel in the new normal

Purpose and goal:

The project has identified a new vision for sustainable travel that involves a broader and bolder approach where the established public transport is connected with new shared mobility services. Together, it constitutes the future of collective mobility. The vision and the proposals to achieve it have been developed within "Rådslaget", an initiative that started during the pandemic and which involved around 80 experts in public transport, new mobility services and urban development. In the work, we have gathered around a framework that made different future horizons visible.

Expected results and effects:

The project has involved over 80 experts in a process that involved joint learning and co-creation of a common direction for renewal. The work has resulted in an innovation agenda for "The collective mobility of the future" which involves a new way of packaging the need for and direction for a sustainable transformation of mobility. The innovation agenda has reached out widely.

It has been used as a basis in regional development work and influenced national FOI plans. It has affected ongoing work with mobility as a service within, f ex, Drive Sweden and the Swedish Transport Administration. Approach and implementation:

The work has involved around 80 leading experts in public transport, other shared mobility services, urban planning and research. Based on five focus areas, which were chiseled out by the experts in a process during the fall of 2021, existing research has been highlighted and compiled. In parallel, open knowledge lunches have been held to make different perspectives and issues visible.

Through thematic workshops in the spring of 2022, concrete action areas and proposals have been developed. With this as a basis, the innovation agenda has gradually developed and been refined.
