| Beschreibung | The greatest share of travel and transport takes place on the road, and traffic projections from the Swedish Transport Administration indicate continued growth in traffic. Travellers and freight carriers benefit from additional infrastructure, which can generate economic benefits including those of shorter journey times and a reduced risk of accidents. The audit concludes that the benefits of many objects is based on assumptions about traffic volumes and traffic increases that, with the knowledge currently available, are likely to be difficult to reconcile with the climate objectives. Carbon dioxide emissions resulting from the national infrastructure plan have been underestimated due to both the Government's unclear management of how the climate objectives are to be observed and the Road and rail administrations' application of projection models during the infrastructure planning process have contributed to this underestimation.True and accurate reporting is needed if the Riksdag is to be able to make informed infrastructure decisions. |
