| Title of the article | Toll roads and their economic efficiency |
| Abstract. | Problem statement. Nowadays the main problem for trunk roads is the growth of traffic intensity and long routes between regions. According to the estimates of SC “Avtodor” for 2045, the construction of the highway M-12 “Vostok” through the international transport corridor “Europe – Western China” will entail the growth of domestic product in the bordering territories of the highway by 2400 million rubles, in the form of tax payments – 600000 million rubles. The main positive effect will be the reduction of travel time to 8 hours, which will allow reaching 70 million tons of internal cargo flow. The purpose of the work was to study the effectiveness of toll roads on the territory of the Russian Federation on the example of the highway M-12 “Vostok”. To achieve the goal the following tasks were solved: - the economic method of estimating the efficiency of toll road operations was selected; - the economic sum of benefits of using toll roads was estimated. Results. The prospective traffic intensity on the highway M-12 “Vostok” on the section from Kazan to Yekaterinburg will amount to 12147 vehicles per day. The average annual income from the toll section of the M-12 “Vostok” highway from Kazan to Yekaterinburg in 2025 will amount to 4346.32 million rubles. According to forecasts, in 2045, the average income may reach about 8878.39 million rubles, and the construction costs will be recouped in 20 years. Conclusions. The significance of the results obtained for the Russian economy is that the development of toll road infrastructure will have a positive impact in: - improving transport accessibility (reducing travel time by improving the quality of roads and reducing their length); - creating jobs (developing infrastructure contributes to the growth of economic activity in the regions); - developing tourism (improving road infrastructure makes regions more accessible to tourists). |
