Archondo-Callao, Rodrigo S.2012-08-132012-08-132002-11https://hdl.handle.net/10986/9750This 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.CC BY 3.0 IGOBUSESCARSCITIESDAILY TRAFFICDIESELDIESEL CARSEXTERNALITIESFEEDER ROADSFINANCING OF ROADSFUELFUEL CONSUMPTIONFUEL LEVIESGASOLINEGASOLINE CARSHEAVY TRUCKLEVIESLIGHT TRUCKLOADINGLOW TRAFFIC ROADSMAIN ROADSMUNICIPALITIESPARKINGPAVED ROADSPERIODIC MAINTENANCEPIERSPRIVATE SECTORPROVINCESROAD AGENCIESROAD FUNDROAD MAINTENANCEROAD NETWORKROAD NETWORKSROAD USERROAD USER CHARGESROAD USER COSTSROADSROUTINE MAINTENANCESECONDARY ROADSSOCIETY COSTSSTREETSTAXISTERTIARY ROADSTOLL ROADSTOLLSTRAFFICTRANSPORTTRANSPORTATIONTRUCKSTRUNK ROADSUNPAVED ROADSURBAN ROADSUSER CHARGESUTILITIESVEHICLEVEHICLES ROAD PLANNINGROAD USER CHARGESROADS ECONOMIC ASPECTSMODELSROAD MAINTENANCEDEVELOPMENT FINANCEREVENUE MOBILIZATIONTRANSPORT MANAGEMENTROAD FINANCEWorld Bank10.1596/9750
