The Swedish Public Transport Association (Svensk Kollektivtrafik)

Svensk Kollektivtrafik – the Swedish Public Transport Association – is the trade organisation of local and regional public transport in Sweden. We also have associated members who are suppliers and consultants to the industry.

We provide support and service to our members by being a powerful voice for public transport, spreading know-how on and increasing the insight into its advantages among decision-makers, nationally and internationally. We work on developing forms of co-operation within the industry and operational development based on the needs of the passengers. Together with the members, work is conducted on business monitoring, opinion and market surveys, and the development of common systems and standards. We regularly arrange conferences, workshops and network meetings on questions of current interest. In preparation for the new Public Transport Act, which came into force in 2012, we developed ways of providing support for the new work to be carried out by our members.

Our board is appointed from among the politically elected boards of our member organisations. The operations are financed through membership and service fees, as well as through our own income in the form of fees for attending conferences. We are also externally financed within certain projects. Our office is situated at Hornsgatan 15 in Stockholm.
