Promoting public transport

The Transport Specialist Group provides a link between the cantonal authorities and our municipalities. It is committed to improving regional public transport planning and provision.

The body brings together representatives from the municipalities, the St. Gallen Office for Public Transport, the Office for Construction and Infrastructure of the Principality of Liechtenstein, the Graubünden Office for Energy and Transport, rail and bus service providers and specialist advisers.

Its primary focus is on public transport. In accordance with its defined remit, the Specialist Group takes a strategic, whole-region approach to its work. It cultivates strong working relationships with the Werdenberg-Liechtenstein Agglomeration Association and with IG Bahn in the Rhine Valley, whose services are overseen and supported by the Sarganserland-Werdenberg Regional Association.

In accordance with the agreement with the Canton of St. Gallen Office for Public Transport, requests, changes to services, consultation processes, conceptual and strategic work and customer complaints are coordinated and dealt with at a regional level.
