Practice and Perspectives in Central and Eastern Europe
Resource information
This paper covers the most commonly used
means to charge road users, including fuel taxes, vehicle
taxes, vignettes and tolls. It presents a brief survey of
road user charging systems in selected European countries
and a more detailed overview of current status and
perspectives of road user charges in Poland. Consideration
is also given to private financing of roads through
different forms of public-private partnerships (PPP),
including a review of potential applications of the World
Bank toolkit for PPP in highways as an instrument to help
decision makers and practitioners to define the best PPP
approach for a specific country.
