In developing and transition economies, 60 to 80 percent of all passenger and freight transport moves by road-the main form of access for most rural communities. Yet most of the 11 million kilometers of roads in these economies are badly maintained and poorly managed. This paper discusses one of the most effective ways to promote sound policies for managing and financing road networks--commercialization. It discusses the emerging central concept of bringing roads into the marketplace, putting them on a fee-for-service basis, and managing them like a business.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Bank Technical Paper No. 275.This paper summarizes the experience gained from nine countries participating in the Africa Road Maintenance Initiative (RMI)--Cameroon, Kenya, Madagascar, Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The author concludes that commercialization is the key to road maintenance reform: bring roads into the marketplace, put them on a fee-for-service basis, and manage them like a business instead of a bureaucracy.Commercialization requires four complementary reforms: - Ownership--involve road users in management to win public support for more road spending- Financing--secure an adequate and stable flow of funds - Responsibility--identify all those involved in the operation and clarify the responsibilities of each - Management--introduce sound business practices and strengthen managerial accountability.The RMI, launched by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa and the World Bank, has spent the past six years working with African countries to identify the underlying causes of poor road maintenance policies and develop an agenda for reforming them. The initiative attempts to put the management and financing of roads on a sustainable long-term basis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal government provides about $20 billion a year in grants to states for highways; most of the money is raised through taxes on motor fuels. States, in financing their road-building programs, also rely heavily on motor fuel taxes and on fees paid by highway users. But these revenues are insufficient. This study reviews several approaches to augment traditional sources of funding for highways. The analysis covers changes in rules governing federal aid, state infrastructure banks, federal credit assistance, and private-sector financing of roads. Charts and tables.
