trafikorgan

Trafikorgan is a Swedish term used to describe an official body responsible for traffic planning and management. The word is formed from trafik (traffic) and organ (organ, body) and functions as a generic label rather than the name of a single institution. In Swedish-language policy and administrative literature, trafikorgan denotes the organizational unit that handles transport and traffic matters within a government level or public authority.

A trafikorgan may take several forms, including a municipal traffic department, a regional transport authority, or a national agency dedicated to transportation policy. Typical responsibilities include road safety and traffic regulation, planning and oversight of public transport, licensing of transport operators, maintenance of traffic infrastructure, and coordination of road, rail, and urban mobility projects across agencies.

Because it is a generic term, trafikorgan does not point to a single, fixed institution in Sweden. The precise structure and authority of a trafikorgan depend on the governing law and administrative organization at the local, regional, or national level. The concept highlights how traffic governance is distributed across different government layers and coordinated among police, infrastructure agencies, and planning authorities.
