Financing alternatives involving public or private partners through different contractual forms, such as Concession Contracts and PPP’s are gaining ground. Congestion pricing to promote reliability and efficient use of the transport system, distance-based pricing to address declining motor fuel tax revenue, safety considerations on priced roads, and how pricing and financing decisions contribute towards net zero emissions goals to meet the global climate imperative are methods to address the growing needs of the motoring public.
