About this buyer
Read more
Sets Finnish transport policy and owns the state's shareholdings in the three rail project companies — Lentorata Oy, Länsirata Oy and Itärata Oy — representing the state as the 51 per cent holder of Itärata Oy. It was the competent authority for state-purchased passenger rail under the public service obligation regulation until a legislative change moved that role to Traficom, recorded on the January 2026 notice for the Rauma–Tampere service. The Liikenne 12 national transport system plan, approved in December 2025, frames Väylävirasto's programme package.
