Shared and integrated mobility in Skellefteå

Purpose and goal

Skellefteå is undergoing a dramatic societal transformation with rapid population growth. To meet this, new solutions are needed – not just "more" of what is usually done.

Expected effects and result

The project will take preparatory steps towards new mobility solutions by addressing key system dimensions such as business models, legal and procurement frameworks, traveler perspectives and behavior, traffic planning, and technology choices. By looking beyond technical solutions, the project is expected to provide knowledge on conditions for long-term establishment. Concrete results include plans for an implementation project with possible business models and a prototype for traffic planning.
