ITF: towards differentiated tolls for Alpine crossings

go back print this page     send page by mail     Comments

During the International Transport Forum in Leipzig, transport ministers of the Alpine countries decided to continue the study on a differentiated toll system for crossing the Alps. This group of countries, known as the ‘Zurich Follow-Up’ is working on a project of French origin named Toll Plus which proposes to set differentiated toll levels according to three criteria: maximum mass and number of axles, the level of polluting emissions, and the time of day.

A report made public in September 2011 put figures to the impact of such a complementary toll system for the four main trans-Alpine routes: 73 EUR for the Mont-Blanc crossing, 78 EUR for the Gothard, 89 EUR for the Fréjus and 125 EUR for the Brenner.

The next discussions are set to involve the application possibilities for a system modulated according to the time of day in zones where it is not permitted to drive at night, and the compatibility of such a toll system with the existing modal alternatives.
