Abstract [en]

The role and agency of the public is often a minor consideration for researchers, authorities, and other experts evaluating policy goals, strategies, and instruments within the transport sector. This book, Public Participation in Transport in Times of Change, analyses and discusses different forms of participation, challenges, and lessons to be learned across the field.

Chapters discuss various forms of public participation in connection to sustainable mobility, transport planning, policy packaging, health, infrastructure, and active travel, creating a comprehensive analysis relevant for both practitioners and researchers who operate within the transport field.

Abstract [en]

Despite an increase in Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) initiatives that aim to pave the way for both public and private MaaS Operators, such MaaS models have received limited scholarly attention. Uncertainties therefore remain in terms of how public-private MaaS can be realized and governed. This paper addresses this problem through an exploratory case study of an attempt to reform the business ecosystem for mobility services in Sweden, which is conceptualized as a move towards public-private MaaS. Inspired by the What-is-the-Problem -Represented-to-Be approach, the paper analyzes what problem representations and assumptions underpin the proposed reform and outlines issues of conflict across the involved actors. Drawing on these findings, the paper highlights disagreements on problems, centralization, and responsibilities as challenges to public-private MaaS developments and proposes that an inclusive and pragmatic governance strategy is key for effective and dem-ocratic governance of MaaS. Additionally, three avenues for future research are identified: development of analytical tools that better represent the complexity of MaaS governance choices, studies of how the prevailing narrative around MaaS influences developments, and analyses of governance strategies' effectiveness in relation to political objectives for MaaS developments.

Abstract [en]

For the transport system to meet planetary boundaries the consequence will be less and slower mobility for most people in Sweden as well as for a large global middle class. ‘Less’ implying shorter and more seldom travel, and ‘slower’ implying train rather than plane; walking, cycling, public transport and other shared modes rather than the car; and slower speed when going by car. However, this contradicts completely with the high mobility society of fast, comfortable and cheap mobility options that for most people is conceived as an advantage, and makes it difficult for politicians to suggest measurs that reduce and slow down mobility. Such policy instruments lack policy legitimacy in the population.

There are however, some ways to gain legitimacy, including building of positive visions of the better life with less and slower mobility. The need for such visions is also stressed by the recent general elections in Sweden, Italy and the US. where climate hardly played a role despite heavy drought in Europe, 1/3 of Pakistan flooded this summer, and the hurricane Iain in the US. This underlines that the assumption that climate catastrophes will make citizens require action, seems to be wrong, and that the negative threat of disasters has to be complemented with positive visions of the better life in a society with less and slower mobility.

Abstract [en]

The governance of public transport is experiencing growing interest as a field of research. Collaboration, contracts, ownership are among the concepts applied in the literature. Outside the specific field of public transport, the term meta-governance and meta-governors - referring to actors and activities that aim to govern and guide a network - has gained increased attention. The point of departure for this article is to study if and to what extent the concept of meta-governance can contribute additional insight to the study of public transport governance, if signs of meta-governance in public transport can be observed in two cases included in the study, and finally, what the nature is of the networks within which it takes place. The cases are the Copenhagen Region, Denmark, and the West Midlands Region, England. In both cases there are signs of meta-governance. It is not clear whether it has increased in scale or level of activity over recent years, but it is likely to increase in the future. The core meta-governor identified in both cases is the passenger transport authority, although in the Danish case there are more actors of almost similar significance and governing capability. We conclude that the meta-governance concept adds to other concepts used in analyses of public transport governance by including more instruments of governance, bringing to the fore the need of a core, nodal actor, and by stressing furthermore the autonomy but also interdependence of other actors in the network.

Abstract [en]

Public participation is sometimes suggested as a way to establish legitimacy for contentious policies needed to realise a transformation in the transport sector to meet sustainability and climate goals. In this chapter, we first aim to summarise and draw conclusions from each part of the book, not least in relation to the transformative potential of public participation in the sector. The chapter also suggests recommendations for further research in the field. Important topics discussed are the diversity of public participation in transport; limits to participation; the specifics of participation in the field of transport; and the issue of consensus and dissensus. As regards transformation of the sector, public participation is considered a prerequisite, but the book also includes several cases where public participation does not seem to possess a transformational potential. We suggest representative, deliberative forms of participation as a possible solution to overcome dilemmas of representativeness, (lack of) knowledge, and the participation burden. We conclude that public participation is not easy, it has to be prepared and designed carefully to avoid unexpected consequences, and there is currently a need for more experiments and pilot projects on public participation in the field of transport.

Abstract [en]

A general global wave of public participation is occurring. Students and researchers as well as civil servants, policy-makers, and NGO representatives are encouraged to study, propose, and engage in public participation. New innovative forms of participation are suggested, and experiments in participation are ongoing locally and nationally. Within the transport sector, most studies of participation focus on road infrastructure and other land use changes. However, for other areas within transport, studies are limited and fragmented. Based on this, we see a need for a volume on public participation in transport, aimed at practitioners, students, and researchers, in what are unarguably times of change. The overall aim of the volume is to provide examples of different forms of public participation in transport, which can work as a setting for further analyses and discussions of public participation in transport. Drawing on different cases, eight empirical chapters are presented covering three main themes: grass-roots participation initiatives, participation in unconventional areas, and public participation that throws up unexpected results. In this introductory chapter, we set the scene for later discussions and analyses of public participation in transport. This chapter also provides an overview of the structure and content of the volume.

Abstract [sv]

Forskningsprogrammet ”Nollvisionen – från idé till genomförande” publicerades 2016 av Trafikverket. Sedan dess har verksamheten vuxit. Nätverket, som numera går under namnet SafePol (Safety Policy Research Network), omfattar i dagsläget (2022) ett femtontal aktiva forskare fördelade över flera forskningsmiljöer och verksamma inom projekt som på olika sätt anknyter till forskningsprogrammets huvudinriktning.  

Kärnområdet är alltjämt trafiksäkerhet som policyområde, men en viktig kontextuell omständighet som blivit alltmer tydlig under de år verksamheten pågått är att trafiksäkerhet numera endast är ett bland flera mål som transportpolitiken skall sträva mot. När Nollvisionen lanserades på 1990-talet stod säkerheten relativt ensamt i centrum. Sedan dess har det tillkommit 17 globala hållbarhetsmål som transportpolitiken förväntas bidra till, liksom två nationella transportpolitiska mål i form av ett funktionsmål och ett hänsynsmål. Trafiken ska numera inte enbart vara säker, den ska också vara miljövänlig, klimatneutral, jämställd, likvärdigt tillgänglig och hälsofrämjande. Målbilden är därmed betydligt mera komplex jämfört med när Nollvisionen lanserades, där en rad potentiella mål- och intressekonflikter kan förutses som problematiserar arbetet mot den samlade målbilden, liksom vad gäller en enskild fråga som trafiksäkerheten. Det nya forskningsprogrammet tar höjd för den breddade målbilden och relaterar till Trafikverkets övergripande forskningsprogram. Programmet i denna uppdaterade version är att betrakta som nätverkets inriktningsdokument för åren 2023-2026.

Abstract [da]

Jeg forsker i hvordan pokker vi omstiller transportsektoren så den passer til bæredygtigt samfund, der ikke skader klimaet. Mit budskab i dag det er, at vi skal lave en vision om det bedre liv med mindre og langsommere mobilitet med mindre og langsommere transport.  Mindre transport betyder at vi laver færre og kortere rejser end vi gør i dag. Langsommere transport betyder, at vi i højere grad tager toget i stedet for at flyve. At vi i højere grad går, cykler og tager bus og tog frem for bil, og når vi bruger bilen, så sænker vi hastigheden.
