Norway Supplementary Agreement Tender

The government wants environmentally friendly urban development in our cities and the urban growth figures will help to achieve the goal of zero growth in passenger traffic by car in the cities. This additional agreement builds up to this goal and will be an important contribution to fulfill the 2019 toll agreement says Transport Minister Knut Arild Hareide.In June 2019 the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Municipalities and Modernization signed a city-wide speech with Trndelag county council and the municipalities of Trondheim Stjrdal Melhus and Malvik. The Government has now endorsed the negotiated supplementary agreement with the urban growth agreement with the Trondheim area for the period 2019-2029. The supplementary agreement is an addition to the urban growth agreement and is entered into to follow up the toll agreement from 2019. The agreement facilitates sustainable urban development in the Trondheim area through efficient land use and climate-friendly transport solutions says Nikolai Astrup Minister of Municipal and Modernization H.Increased state contribution to the Metro bus reduced tolls and better public transportThe state basically covers 50 percent of the costs of the 5050 project Metro bus in Trondheim. Through the supplementary agreement we increase the state subsidy to 66 per cent. This amounts to just over NOK 560 million in the ten-year period. Half of the grant is earmarked for reduced tolls and half goes to better public services says Hareide.The supplementary agreement also contains subsidies for reduced collective tariffs of NOK 500 million over the ten-year period. The funds will be used for tariff reductions that have the greatest effect on the goals in the urban growth rate.All five local parties have given their support to the supplementary agreement through local political decisions and now the government is following up with its agreement. It is planned that the parties sign the supplementary agreement after the summer holidays.
