Cooperation between different actors during a crisis has in Sweden evolved over the years. Forthe transport sector this cooperation started primarily between different governmental agenciesto eventually, from 2015, also involve private actors representing different branches of thetransport sector. This study thus examines the Swedish transport sectors private-publiccooperation in the form of the cooperation forum for crisis, TP SAMS. How they work andcommunicate in the cooperation forum to grow the transport sectors preparedness to handle acrisis, as well as potential strengths, weaknesses and challenges for the private-public workahead. This has been done primarily through qualitative informant interviews with persons who,in different ways, are involved in the transport sector and crisis management. The results fromthis study shows that the reliance on conventional, largely unsecure and vulnerablecommunications systems is prevalent in the transport sector. The results have also showed aflexibility in the work of TP SAMS as it both works as a networking agent for its members atthe same time as it stands by to provide expert assistance during crisis management. The studyconcludes that even though there are weaknesses with the communications systems andchallenges with the private-public cooperation it is a vital resource for the Swedish crisismanagement, and it would be hard to organize it much different than how it is today.
