(political) parties behind the traffic plan/ parties who supported the agreement


Explanation:
This may very possibly mean the political parties behind the traffic plan (= den trafikopolitiske aftale).

The supporters of the traffic plan, for instance the government and the parties who were in favour.

http://www.information.dk/131397
Gårsdagens trafikforlig mellem regeringen, de radikale og Dansk Folkeparti giver omkring ni mia. kr. ekstra til tog- og vejnettet i Danmark. Pengene til den kollektive trafik skal udbedre årtiers forsømmelser af skinnenettet, mens bilisterne får glæde af nye vejstrækninger.

This is a special Danish usage of the term 'forligspartier', which does basically mean 'the parties to the settlement'.

It often takes long discussions in the Folketing to agree on a viable proposal, and the government may be forced to draw in support from other parties to secure a majority infavour. The proposal is then called a ´forlig´ when it is adopted.
