What's at stake: The outcome affects how quickly and where new cycling paths get built, especially in rural areas and for commuting between towns, and how much of the existing road and rail infrastructure is reused for cycling.
Case texts and AI reasoning are AI-translated from the Swedish originals; the Swedish text is authoritative.
What the vote decides
The question is whether the state should invest more specifically in building out cycling infrastructure, including national cycling routes and cycling highways, or whether the investments already decided in the national plan and regional plans are sufficient.
Yes Yes — the committee proposal
The committee rejects the motions for increased investment in cycling infrastructure, pointing out that measures for cycling are already included in both the current national transport infrastructure plan and the regional plans, as well as in the new national plan now being drawn up, and judges that cycling is therefore already well accounted for in planning at both national and regional level.
No No — the reservations
Reservation 10 (C)
The reservation (C) wants a clearer state push on cycling infrastructure: that the Swedish Transport Administration plan more for national cycling routes, that more local and regional cycling paths ('cycling highways') be built to connect regions and ease commuting, that barrier effects from crossing tracks and roads be reduced, and that existing service roads along state roads and railways be converted into safe cycling routes.

Riksdag decision: The Riksdag says no to 104 proposals in motions that deal with cycling issues. The motions were submitted during the ordinary motion period in 2025 and in connection with the government's statement on the Swedish National Audit Office's report on conditions for cycling traffic. The motions deal among other things with goals for cycling policy, regulations for safe cycling, and efforts to encourage more children and young people to cycle.
The Riksdag refers primarily to planned and already implemented measures. Furthermore, the Riksdag considers that current infrastructure planning and regulations promote increased and safe cycling.
The Riksdag also placed the government's statement on file, which means the matter is concluded.
Counter-proposals
The counter-proposal wants to establish a national cycling council for coordination and classify cycling as its own traffic mode. (C) — Reservation 10
