Dutch Tolling Model

The Dutch Tolling Model is a system used for financing infrastructure projects, particularly in the Netherlands. It allows private companies to collect tolls from users of roads or bridges they build and operate, enabling them to recoup their investment over time. This model encourages public-private partnerships, where the government collaborates with private firms to enhance public infrastructure without solely relying on taxpayer funding. The idea is to improve efficiency and reduce costs while ensuring that users contribute directly to the maintenance and development of transportation facilities.
