1 Stockholm County Council Office of Regional Planning and Urban Transportation Hans Hede Transport planning in the Stockholm Region METREX/Moscow International workshop June 2006

2 A region with great potential

3 Most frequent business destinations Copenhagen, Oslo, Helsinki and London are the most frequent destinations Source: RTK

4 Stockholm County Part of a larger functional region

5 The County of Stockholm today 1.8 million inhabitants homes summer cottages Land area km km from north to south 10 % urban areas 14 % developed land 60 % agriculture and forest

6 Stockholm County 26 Municipalities

7 Stockholm County Population density Persons/km 2, year

8 Stockholm A growing region Ancient core built for people, horsedrawn carriages and ships Industrial city supported by trams and trains Modern city with offices, neighbourhoods and subway Regional centre with suburbs, motorways and commuting trains

9 Stockholm County Population growth

10 Land use

11 A regiona l centre and seven regiona l hubs

12 Stockholms transport growth Population, cars per person and travel development Source: RTK

13 Driving forces for modal split Economic development is a key factor Economic growth makes travel relatively cheaper, timevalue rises, and access to private cars increases Improved public transport attracts passengers Growing population, location patterns, new roads and road pricing has only small influence on the modal split

14 Stockholm transport system Modal split Number of trips approx. 5 million per day Person-kms approx. 60 million per day Source: RTK

15 Distribution Type of trips and mode, year 2000

16 Reduced carbon-dioxide emissions Percentage contribution of different measures

17 The transport system

18 Impact of new ring roads Additional road capacity Releases congestion and allows more travel between north and south Release of inner city areas Facilitates travel from suburb to suburb the fastest growing relations Increases accessibility in new cores significantly New or upgraded tramway or suburban rail network Land designated for public transport Regional centre Regional hub

19 Southern link 4,5 km tunnel, opened October 2004 Planning since 1988, construction Four lanes, highest security standards Costs 880 million Euro vehicles / day More traffic than expected

20 Årsta Railway bridge Opened August 28 Source: Planning , construction Railway and walking/cycling pathway Costs 165 million Euro

21 Traneberg bridge reconstructed Opened August 31 Built , cars/day today Damage caused by ware, road salt, and frost, heavy traffic was forbidden Cost ca 85 euro

22 New commuter trains 55 new trains April February 2007 The first started to run August 22 Cost: 400 million euro Air condition, low noice, better for disabled people, energy effecient, camera surveillance The oldest trains are from the 60s

23 New regional trains 43 new regional double-deck trains delivered , Cost 250 million euro Top speed 200 km/h, travel times cut up to 25 % More comfortable, environmental friendly and adjusted to disabled people Enough space and electricity at every window, possible to work with computer.

24 Clean vehicles in Stockholm World leading position 50 % of the Stockholm City s own fleet Renewable fuel types: Biogas, ethanol, electricity and hydrogen Complete fleet of inner city buses More than 1 % of new sales (cars) goal for 2006: 4 % No congestion charges, free parking Tax reductions for renewable fuels Source: City of Stockholm (

27 The Mälar Tunnel A new railway under the City Expected to open 2011 Railway TiM Mälar Tunnel New station Increases the capacity in the rail system within the Metropolitan region in the Mälar Region on national level

28 The Mälar Tunnel Two new tracks, two new stations City and Odenplan Planning started 2002, construction period Costs 830 million Euro Capacity 500 trains/day First new capacity investment since 1871 in central Stockholm Source: Southern part of tunnel

29 The Mälar Tunnel New City station

30 The Mälar Tunnel New station at Odenplan

31 Western bypass Three alternatives studied Public dialog recently closed Objectives Connect the northern and southern parts of the county without stressing central Stockholm Create a bypass for long distance traffic Reduce congestion on entrance roads Enable a common labour and housing market in the region Enable a polycentric region Facilitate regional growth

32 Major planned investments in the transport system Railway extension Tomteboda-Kallhäll Northern transversale New commuter railway northward Northern bypass Regional plan (RUFS 2001) Scenario 2030 Western bypass (motorway) Mälartunnel Eastern bypass / ring road Metro extension to Nacka New Rail New Road Southern transversale Source: RUFS 2001
