| Summary: | This technical note presents a road user
charges model, developed by the Bank, and, gives an overview
of the objectives, structure, and results of the model by
taking as an example a hypothetical road network, and
presenting some lessons learned, while applying the model in
developing countries. The model estimates revenues from road
user charges as collected by the following instruments:
diesel levy; gasoline levy; alcohol levy (wherever
applicable); annual license fees; annual load damage fees,
and tolls. Conclusions suggest the model has proven to be a
useful tool for an aggregate assessment of the entire road
network of a country, both in terms of network maintenance,
and the financing side. Moreover, the model is particularly
useful to set road user charges, as a dedicated revenue
source for a proposed road fund. |
