The authority is also responsible for the construction, operation and maintenance of public roads and railways. The Swedish Transport Administration includes activities and operations that before 1 April 2010 were undertaken by the Swedish Rail Administration and the Swedish Road Administration, as well as certain activities that were undertaken by the Swedish Maritime Administration and the Swedish Institute for Transport and Communications Analysis.

The Swedish Transport Administration employs around 6,500 people. The headquarters are located in Borlänge, and there are regional offices in Eskilstuna, Gävle, Gothenburg, Kristianstad, Luleå and Stockholm. The Swedish Transport Administration also has local offices at several locations across the country.

When the Swedish Transport Administration was formed on 1 April,  the Swedish Rail Administration, the Swedish Road Administration and the Swedish Institute for Transport and Communications Analysis were phased out.
