[8] In November, Nygård announced that the government would not cancel future construction of planned motorways, while also reiterating an increased focus on railways, notably InterCity.

[9] On 15 November, Nygård and Minister of Labour and Social Inclusion Hadia Tajik met the head of SAS Norway, Kjetil Håbjørg, regarding the ongoing conflict with its staff.

[10] In a press release on 8 December, it was announced that the government would expand the compensation scheme for train companies and commercial bus and ferry routes.

The government is therefore in favour of compensating train companies and commercial bus and boat routes for reduced ticket revenues until March 2022.

[11] Green Party MP Rasmus Hansson criticised Nygård regarding a rise in prices for busses, which he sent in as a question for him to answer in the Storting.

On 13 December, Nygård told media that the prices weren't too high, saying: "Until the COVID-19 outbreak, the number of travelers has increased as public transport has steadily improved.

[16] Nygård announced on 22 April that the government would seek to get rid of extra monthly pay annually for the leadership of the state owned railway company Vy.

He stated: "We want to give a clear signal that we believe it is time for moderation in all possible ways, and this also applies to our companies in the transport sector.

Nygård emphasised that the government had high ambitions for the railway sector, and a goal to increase passenger and goods services.

[24] On 13 December, Nygård and foreign minister Anniken Huitfeldt announced that Norway would be donating bridge parts to Ukraine to help the country rebuild its infrastructure.

The opposition parties accused Nygård of having given limited negotiation powers to the Railway Directorate and that the government as a whole, had little regard for passengers.

[29] In September, the government announced that they would make future motorways slimmer in order to save the environment, reuse existing roads and decrease intervention in nature.

Nygård additionally said that this measure was a part of making transport less fossil driven and reducing emissions, while also calling it "a step in the right direction".

[31] In February, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration announced that it would be abolishing the practical test in the process for receiving a taxi license, which Nygård and his ministry had requested earlier.

[32] Ahead of the government's National Transport Plan, Nygård and defence minister Bjørn Arild Gram visited Trøndelag in March to inspect motorways which would require upgrading in order to support military infrastructure in the event of armed conflict.

Among other projects in the county aimed for upgrading includes the Ofoten Line, European route E14 and other motorways put as a priority for the Norwegian Army.

[33] Nygård came under fire from mayors of Asker and Bærum in late August for refusing to allow electric vehicles to travel in bus lanes on week days due to traffic jams on the European route E18.

He had previously stated that the government would allow electric vehicles in bus lanes on weekends, but citing his rejection for week days to be on grounds of capacity during these periods.

[35] Nygård faced extensive criticism from the opposition over train delays in Eastern Norway at a question time session in December.
