Trafikverket

Our vision means that we will create the conditions for a robust and efficient transport system which is both energy-efficient and safe. At the same time, we must ensure that road-users and hauliers have excellent opportunities to carry out their journeys and transportation.

Trafikverket is responsible for the overall long-term infrastructure planning of road, rail, sea and air transport. Our assignment also includes the construction, operation and maintenance of state roads and railways. We are developers of society and we plan ahead for a holistic integration of the entire transport system. In order for society to develop, the country's transportation must work. Increased accessibility is becoming increasingly important.

Our assignment means that on a day to day basis, we must ensure that the roads and railway tracks are passable, that we have more roads with median barriers, that railway stations are adapted to the disabled, that combined terminals are developed, that travellers and road users receive speedy and relevant traffic information, that driving tests for driving licences are carried out and that everything else required is carried out to manage and develop a smart infrastructure.

The objective is an accessible and safe transportation system that takes account of the environment and people's health. To achieve this objective, we need to work closely with the rest of society. Together, we can make life easier for the whole of Sweden.

Tasks

Trafikverket is responsible for the long-term planning of the transport system for road, rail, shipping and aviation. Our task is to develop an efficient and sustainable transport system from a perspective that encompasses all modes of transport. We work with long-term infrastructure planning in close dialogue with regions and municipalities. We are also responsible for building, operating and maintaining state roads and railways. In addition, we are responsible for ensuring that this infrastructure is used effectively and that it promotes safe and environmentally sound transportation.

Vision

Based on our overall assignment, we have formulated a vision statement that expresses the desired long-term direction for Trafikverket: "Everybody arrives smoothly, the green and safe way." The vision is to act as a guiding principle in planning the operations which means that we will create the prerequisites for a robust and efficient transport system that is energy efficient and safe. At the same time, we ensure that road users and public transport providers have the opportunity to carry out their journeys and provide transportation.
