Road pricing has been discussed in the context of two objectives: improving resource allocation and financing the expansion of the capacity of the road network. Financing transport infrastructure by means of toll revenues in the traditional sense has a history that dates back almost 70 years in Norway. Since 1986, with the opening of cordon toll schemes in Bergen, Oslo and Trondheim, and more recently in Stavanger there has been a major shift in the location of toll-financed projects from peripheries to urban areas. Meanwhile, the contribution from toll financing schemes to the total funds for transport infrastructure has increased by more than 35 percent and the scheduled projects for financing by tolls are almost complete. It is apparent that the Norwegian tolls have successfully achieved their purposes. The Norwegian tolls are approved for only a limited period of time, usually 15 years. There is now a growing interest in redefining the objectives of some of the Norwegian urban tolls from merely a financing scheme to a part of an integrated policy package that would address transport externalities. This chapter will discuss the performances of the Norwegian urban tolls and the issues related to their changing roles. |
