Sweden has significantly increased public transit use over the past two decades; transit made up 19.3% of all trips in Sweden 2019, approximately four times the rate of transit use in the Bay Area. As a result Sweden has had success in reducing emissions of transportation by 23% between 2005 and 2019. Now, responding to the pandemic, Sweden is looking into how to reimagine public transit for the future. Transit leaders from Sweden's three largest regions, visiting California as part of a study delegation on emerging mobility, will share some of the lessons from successful Swedish public transit, and how the country is approaching the opportunity of new forms of transportation to support public mobility goals.
