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.
