SNABBSAM, systemdemonstrator for accelerated mobility transformation together

Purpose and goal:

In the system demonstrator "Snabbsam", the City of Stockholm and a range of local partners worked together to accelerate large-scale transformation of travel behaviour, use of public space and vehicle fleets in central Stockholm. The aim is an emission-free inner city and to generate wider impacts across the city and region, in order to achieve a climate-positive Stockholm by 2030.

The City of Stockholm´s new environmental zone will be used as a motor in the work for an efficient and emission-free transport system that serves the whole city. Expected results and effects:

SNABBSAM planned for a broad, systemic transformation addressing topics including regulation and policy, infrastructure, vehicles and logistics, business models, behaviour and culture. The planning phase prepared for system demonstration by generating: 1)Understanding of the system requiring transformation; 2)A portfolio of measures and establishing structures for orchestration and portfolio management; 3)Legitimacy by mobilising actors and perspectives.

The portfolio will then be demonstrated in the STOLT project and contribute to accelerated climate transition. Approach and implementation:

SNABBSAM was coordinated by the City of Stockholm and an orchestration team including IVL and Lindholmen Science Park; this group developed an iterative process implemented together with partners across four work packages. These work packages focused on (1) understanding the system; (2) developing the portfolio; (3) generating a mandate and mobilising actors; and (4) learning, methods, upscaling and dissemination.

The output of these processes is a portfolio of measures ready for large-scale demonstration in the STOLT project.
