OREANDA-NEWS The road toll collection plan under the management of the state-owned Avtodor company for 2024 amounts to 105 billion rubles, which is 40% higher than the fees in 2023.
"The plans (for collecting fees for this year), according to official data, which are available, are 105 billion rubles. We will fulfill this unconditionally," Vyacheslav Petushenko, Chairman of the Avtodor Management Board, told reporters on Monday on the sidelines of the Building Russia forum.
In a recently published annual report, the state-owned company reported that in 2023, more than 75 billion rubles of tolls were collected on the Avtodor network, which exceeded the planned figure by a quarter. As noted in the report, the positive dynamics of the collection was associated with an increase in tariffs in early 2023, as well as a significant increase in seasonal demand for passenger car rides. Thus, based on the words of the head of the state-owned company and the fee collection indicator for last year, it is expected to collect almost 40% more this year.
Petushenko also told reporters that according to the results of the first half of this year, traffic on the Avtodor network increased by an average of 13-14%. "Moreover, trucks are growing more than passenger cars. And during this half-year, we see that trust in our roads is growing, and traffic is increasing all the time. We set ourselves plans to collect fees not because we want to collect more, but so that all investors who invested money in road construction would be sure that all these obligations would be fulfilled. On top of everything else, I can say that there are small reserves that will allow us to start other projects," he said.
As examples of such projects, Petushenko cited the reconstruction of the M-4 "Don" highway on the 933-1024 km section, work on the M-1 "Belarus" and M-3 "Ukraine" highways, as well as promising projects in the south and other regions of the country according to presidential instructions.
Avtodor operates a network of federal highways with a length of about 5 thousand km, including more than 3 thousand km of toll roads. The trust management of the state-owned company includes the highways M-1 "Belarus", M-3 "Ukraine", M-4 "Don", M-11 "Neva", A-113 Central Ring Road (CCAD), A-105 access road to Domodedovo airport and A-107 "The Moscow Small Ring". Avtodor is also building a new M-12 Moscow - Nizhny Novgorod -Kazan expressway with an extension to Yekaterinburg.
