Norwegian term

kollektivmilliard

Norwegian to English Other Transport / Transportation / Shipping Climate change /energy
In connection with transport-related measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In the context of public and passenger transport in urban areas, a scheme called "kollektivmilliard" is mentioned, as follows:"I de ti største byområdene trengs en dobling av kollektivtilbudet i rushtiden. For å realisere dette er det behov for en årlig kollektivmilliard over 20 år."

billion kroner increase in public transport budget allocation

I think the terms means a billion kroner extra spending on public transport ("kollektiv"). See this extract from Report No. 24 to the Storing on the National Transport Plan for 2006-2001. My term is just one of several alternatives here (spending increase, budget increase, etc)

"Compared with the average allocations for 2002–2004, this involves an annual increase of approximately NOK 420 million. Compared with the allocations during the period 1998–2001, the annual increase is approximately NOK 1 billion for roads and railways together."
Peer comment(s):

agree jeffrey engberg : but keep the glossary term simple, no? For example, a billion kroner in public transit funds?

As I said, this was just a suggestion, but I see you left out the "extra", which may or may not be pertinent here, i.e. is this "milliard" in addition to the current budget or not?

Thanks Egil
disagree Per Bergvall : It's not an annual increase of a billion - it's a billion extra each year. Say public transit spending was at 50 billion this year - an extra billion each year vould leave it at 51 for the next 20 years, while an increase would make it 51, 52, up to 70.

Valid point, Per. This is the most logical interpretation of "årlig kollektivmilliard over 20 år". I think I got waylaid by the translation of the Transport Plan, which uses "annual increase".
