About the Company

Region Stockholm has the overall responsibility for ensuring that everyone living in or visiting the region has access to a well-developed, easily accessible, and reliable public transport system. The mission of the Traffic Administration (TF) is to prepare and implement decisions regarding the direction and scope for a long-term sustainable public transport system. Additionally, we are responsible for the management and monitoring of traffic operations as well as maintaining the functionality, safety, and value of the infrastructure. Every day, more than 700,000 people travel using public transport, which includes journeys by subway, buses, commuter trains, and local trains.

About the Assignment

Region Stockholm is planning for Spårväg Syd - a new tramway between Flemingsberg and Älvsjö. Work is currently underway on the first phase of the tramway between Flemingsberg and Skärholmen.

Spårväg Syd is one of four major investments in the Stockholm region as part of the so-called Sweden Negotiation, which aims to improve public transport and increase housing construction. The project is financed and planned in collaboration with the state, Huddinge Municipality, and the City of Stockholm.

With Spårväg Syd, important areas in southwestern Stockholm will be connected, allowing more people to choose to travel by public transport between home, work, and school. It will be easy to switch between tram, bus, subway, commuter train, and regional train. Additionally, new housing and bike paths can be built along the tramway.

The project is currently in the planning phase, focusing on system documentation, railway planning, and environmental permits. The current timeline for the project extends until approximately 2037.

This means leading the program's and projects' work within the planning of Spårväg Syd and ensuring coordination of sustainability and permit issues. The program includes several projects, including the Track Project (railway construction) and the Depot Project, and the role of planning coordinator also involves ensuring that planning work is conducted uniformly across the various projects.
