Energetically Renovating The Annual Fee System For Toll Roads

In the context of the current state's efforts to clean up Luqiao's fees and charges, some cities strongly recommend it.

But in recent years, we have seen that the annual fee system has changed. Some local governments are charging all kinds of Luqiao charges, especially some toll roads which are not in good charge.

The most typical thing is to charge well.

Luqiao has bundled fees with Luqiao, which is not charging well.

For example, Wuhan has bundled fees for the "six bridges and one tunnel" in the urban area, and the annual fee for the two category of vehicles has increased to 2100 yuan / Taiwan.

After bundling fees, the total income of Luqiao will reach 1 billion yuan per year, more than double.

For some drivers, some roads rarely walk, do not need to pay so much toll, but do not pay, because it is tied up with other highways.

The reason why the Department concerned is doing this is simply to increase the charges, rather than to facilitate the public travel and improve the efficiency of traffic.

Such an annual fee system is actually a strong allocation of debt to drivers, which is clearly contrary to the relevant provisions of the state.

The state's recently issued notice on the issue of "charging the road to the motor vehicle and charging the road sites" explicitly requests: "in addition to laws and regulations and the State Council expressly stipulates, no place, department or unit shall be allowed to introduce any new administrative fees, government fund-raising and government funded projects involving motor vehicles".

The annual fee system is a collection of fees that some local authorities try to launch.

But even so, more and more places have implemented mandatory or covert toll road annual fee system.

According to preliminary statistics, there are more than 100 cities in the country trying out the annual fee system, among which there are compulsory or disguised drivers.

An important reason for this is that we still lack relevant rules, such as whether the annual fee system belongs to the form of equal distribution and what is mandatory. In some places, the annual ticket is purchased by the driver voluntarily, and how to identify the behavior that evade the legal constraints and so on.

Urban pport infrastructure is a public product providing services for the public.

The annual toll system for toll roads should be a measure to reduce road tolls, improve traffic efficiency and facilitate the masses, and should not become a means for government and departments to make profits.

To do this, we need to regulate.
