26 27 Guidelines for LundaMaTs The transport system is to develop in a more sustainable direction. The work to achieve this, regardless of whether it takes place within the LundaMaTs focus areas or the Municipality’s line organisation, is to be focused on the individual and to result in more sustainable development. It should support the necessary change in travel habits and freight handling and is to be based on participation and democracy. These results will be achieved by making the right choices and priorities – every time.
