The role, opportunities and limitations of metagovernors in the development of sustainable and resilient collective mobility
With public transport as the backbone, there have been many attempts to promote a combination with other shared modes of transport and thus create a more attractive collective mobility. However, coherent and competitive solutions that can create a modal shift away from the passenger car are rarely seen. The solutions require extensive collaboration between many both private and public actors with different interests and cultures. Metagovernors are actors who take overall responsibility for managing and coordinating many parties with respect for the autonomy of each and with the aim of achieving public goals, and metagovernors might be central to succeed in promoting coherent collective mobility. Today metagovernors do not exist in Swedish collective mobility, but they seem to develop in other countries. In collaboration with actors in collective mobility, the project suggests recommendations and guidelines for metagovernance of collective mobility both in Sweden and abroad.
