Styrmedelspotential på vägen mot ett hållbart transportsystem

- Abstract
- In this study suggested political instruments for a future sustainable transportation system are analyzed. This is done by a survey study with answers from municipality workers in ten different municipalities in the Scania region, southern Sweden. The questions covers the respondents transportation habits and their opinions on 19 different political instruments and how these instruments, if put in place in the future, could potentially change their day to day transportation habits. The Swedish transport administration and a state report on fossil free transportation have suggested these political instruments to be used or investigated for future use to reach the goal of having a fossil fuel independent vehicle fleet in 2030.

- In this study suggested political instruments for a future sustainable transportation system are analyzed.

The questions covers the respondents transportation habits and their opinions on 19 different political instruments and how these instruments, if put in place in the future, could potentially change their day to day transportation habits. The Swedish transport administration and a state report on fossil free transportation have suggested these political instruments to be used or investigated for future use to reach the goal of having a fossil fuel independent vehicle fleet in 2030. All instruments are of the types economic or administrative and regard costs of using cars and public transport or other aspects that could make cars a less attractive choice of transportation and public transport a more attractive choice. The results show that the highest potential to steer the respondents towards more sustainable transportation habits are lower price on public transport and higher price on fossil fuels (through higher taxes on carbon dioxide and/or energy). Even more noticeable is the large differences in potential between different instruments. Hopefully this can put things in perspective and raise the question once again of what is an efficient political instrument for climate mitigation. The study also shows the difference in potential for some instruments on respondents living in urban or rural areas. For example respondents in urban areas are more positive to using carpools and respondents in rural areas are more positive to working from home. (Less)
