Since the late 1990s South Asia has developed different models of Road Funds (RFs), at the national level, or in the case of India at the state and local level, to improve sources of financing for road maintenance and development. The World Bank South Asia transport team has carried out a review of RFs in the region to draw lessons learned from the past experience. The review provides the analytical underpinning for advising governments on how to improve the performance of existing RFs or how to establish new RFs for road maintenance, and for providing guidance to the World Bank for revising its transport sector strategy in relation to road policy reforms in the South Asia region.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISMSADMINISTRATIVE AUTONOMYADMINISTRATIVE EXPENDITUREALLOCATION OF RESOURCESASSET MANAGEMENTASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSAUTHORITYAUTHORIZATIONAXLE LOADBOTTLENECKBRIDGEBRIDGESBUDGET SYSTEMBUDGETARY ALLOCATIONBUDGETARY ALLOCATIONSBUDGETARY RESOURCESBUDGETARY SUPPORTBUNCHINGCENTRAL GOVERNMENTCITIZENSCONCESSIONSCONFLICT OF INTERESTSCONSTRUCTIONCONSTRUCTION OF ROADSCROSSINGDECISION MAKINGDECISION-MAKINGDECISION-MAKING BODYDECISION-MAKING PROCESSDECREEDEDICATED ROADDEPARTMENT OF ROADSDIESELDISCLOSUREDISCLOSURE OF INFORMATIONDISTRICT ROADSDISTRICTSDRIVINGEXECUTIONEXIT ROADSFEDERAL GOVERNMENTFEEDER ROADSFINANCIAL ASSISTANCEFINANCIAL AUDITSFINANCIAL AUTONOMYFINANCIAL DISCIPLINEFINANCIAL INFORMATIONFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL REQUIREMENTSFINANCIERFINANCING OF ROADSFRAMEWORKFUELFUEL CHARGESFUEL LEVIESFUEL TAXFUEL TAXESFUNDING ALLOCATION RULESGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNANCE INDICATORSGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGOVERNMENT AGENCYGOVERNMENT BUDGETSGOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONSGOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVESGOVERNMENT RESOURCESGOVERNMENT REVENUESHEAVY VEHICLEHIGHWAYHIGHWAY NETWORKHIGHWAY SAFETYHIGHWAYS PROJECTINCOMEINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTSINSTITUTIONAL AUTONOMYINTERNAL AUDITINTERNATIONAL TRANSITLACK OF AUTONOMYLEGAL DOCUMENTSLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGISLATIONLOAD CHARGESLOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOCAL ROADSMANAGEMENT OF ROADSMINISTRIES OF FINANCEMINISTRY OF FINANCEMINISTRY OF TRANSPORTMOTOR VEHICLEMOTOR VEHICLESNATIONAL ACCOUNTSNATIONAL HIGHWAYSNATIONAL LEVELNATIONAL POLICIESNATIONSPAVEMENTPERIODIC MAINTENANCEPOLICEPOLITICAL INTERFERENCEPOLITICIANSPRICE OF FUELPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC OFFICIALSPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC WORKSRAILRAILWAYRAILWAYSRECONSTRUCTIONREPRESENTATIVESRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRIDING QUALITYRIGHT-OF-WAYROADROAD AGENCIESROAD AGENCYROAD CROSSINGSROAD DETERIORATIONROAD DEVELOPMENTROAD FINANCINGROAD FUNDROAD FUNDSROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD MAINTENANCEROAD MAINTENANCE WORKSROAD MANAGEMENTROAD NETWORKROAD NETWORKSROAD PLANNINGROAD PROJECTSROAD REHABILITATIONROAD REPAIRROAD SAFETYROAD SECTORROAD TOLLSROAD TRANSPORTROAD USEROAD USERROAD USER CHARGESROAD USERSROAD WIDENINGROAD WORKSROADSROUTINE MAINTENANCERURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL ROADRURAL ROADSRURAL TRANSPORTSAFETYSHARINGSPEEDSTATE AUTONOMYSTATE BANKSSTATE GOVERNMENTSTATE HIGHWAYSTAXTAXATIONTOLLTOLL REVENUESTRAFFICTRANSITTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT POLICIESTRANSPORT POLICYTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORTATIONTRUETUNNELUNDERPINNINGURBAN ROADSVEHICLEVEHICLE REGISTRATIONVEHICLE REGISTRATION FEESVILLAGE ROADSWorld Bank10.1596/11744
