Strategy and vision

Ruter’s strategy describes how we will develop public transport in Oslo and Akershus. We work to provide the best possible service for the residents of the region.

The strategy points out the direction, defines goals and shows the way to reach them. It provides a shared understanding of how we are to fulfill our social mission. This is particularly important for the owners of Ruter – Oslo municipality and Akershus county municipality – as well as partners and employees.

The core of the strategy is our vision: Sustainable freedom of movement

We will make it easy for everyone to travel by public transport

Sustainable freedom of movement means that everyone, no matter who they are or where they are going, should be able to travel easily, safely and comfortably. Ruter works to ensure that as many people as possible leave the car at home a bit more often and instead choose green travel alternatives.

When public transport is simple and accessible, people can travel where they want, when they want, and on their own terms, regardless of their circumstances.

Freedom of movement must also be sustainable. This means that our solutions take environmental, social and economic considerations into account. We balance individual needs with what is best for society, and today’s journeys with tomorrow’s services.

Sustainable freedom of movement is, quite simply, about enabling a good life, social justice, and sound urban and regional development within the planet’s limits.

A sustainable transport system must create space for living, meeting and participating, without exceeding the planet’s ecological limits. In this way, we ensure sustainable freedom of movement also for future generations.
