Person travel in Norwegian trade and industries

The report analyses trade and industry’s experiences with transport services and infrastructure and how the authorities can facilitate more efficient passenger transport. Business travellers are heavily reliant upon good air services, and would like to see additional destinations covered by direct flights and more frequent departures from Norwegian airports.

Also measures relating to the infrastructure at airports (for example more efficient security routines and Internet access) were considered as being important in order to improve business travel efficiency. In Oslo and Akershus, traffic congestion and parking problems cause stress and delays for workers relying on car transport in their work. Measures to reduce the number of private cars being going into the centre of Oslo are considered crucial.

The last part of the project analyses the opportunities to improve labour supply by developing the road networks surrounding regional centres. The results show that this has only limited effect. On the other hand, high-speed intercity trains can help to expand the commuter belt around Oslo.
