Time for change…
We need to double the market share of collective transport within our society! Collective transport is a strategic tool for coping with the environment and employment issues:
• It creates the preconditions necessary for growth and for regional and business development
• It reduces carbon dioxide emissions• Fewer people are killed and injured on the
roads

New legislation and a national project to double collective transport in Sweden
The new act governs public transport by rail, by tram, underground and on the road. It enters into force on 1 January 2012. News: • Strategic decisions under new political responsibility - competent
authorities = ”regional public bodies”: Public service obligations (PSO) must be expressed and manifested in a separate decision prior to the award procedure.
• More transparency in the decision-making process - following the EU directive 1370/2007
• Procurement of services to follow procedures for service contracts or service concessions
• No exclusive rights Collective transport operators may provide local and regional public passenger
services without limitations Collective transport operators must meet some basic requirements
Be part of a national information system and must announce their entry into the market before commencing operations as well as their exit
