Introduction

Do you want to be part of an operation that is a prerequisite for society to function? Do you want to help make sustainable travel the norm?

In the role of Department Manager, we offer a challenging and rewarding assignment in an operation characterized by a strong commitment to ensuring sustainable travel from all perspectives for those who need a little extra service on their journey with public transport.

The Operation

On-demand traffic is responsible for procuring and coordinating the services needed to offer travel opportunities for those who need a little extra service to travel or for those living in areas without scheduled public transport. The majority of trips in on-demand traffic are service trips and are performed by Västtrafik through procured partners on behalf of and in cooperation with the Region of Västra Götaland and 45 municipalities. Service trips refer to transport services for people with disabilities, school taxi, and medical transport taxi. The On-demand Traffic operation has approximately 20 employees and consists of the Traffic Department, the Municipality & Region Department, and support functions.
