  16. PROGRESS-TOLL ROADS Funding of roads has always been a controversial subject. This is not only true from a fiscal point of view – tax based revenues need to serve a large number of disparate demands – but also from a road user point of view in having to pay tolls. It is important to note that the Agency manages approximately 80% of its total network as non-toll roads. This places a large financial burden not only on the Agency but also on National Treasury. It is for this reason that alternative funding instruments be used and developed to address the infrastructural needs of our country while at the same time reducing the stresses on tax based revenues.

  17. PROGRESS-TOLL ROADS We are mindful that the implementation of toll roads hinges on many political, economic and social concerns. They are not simply a matter of capital augmentation but also depend on such deeply embedded societal concerns, such as:  Equity  Income transfer  Environmental issues  Attitude towards taxation  Role of Government

  18. PROGRESS-TOLL ROADS In terms of public sentiment towards toll roads there is seldom a distinction drawn between Agency toll roads and toll roads operated by the private sector under concession agreement.

  24. Proposal for sustaining expanded non-toll network Of the total “saving” to the fiscus, it is proposed that 65% be consolidated into the treasury funding of non-toll roads in order to susin the expansion in the non-toll network and the remaining 35% put to other uses.
