Document 246 - Amendment to the Act on Roads - EU

Scope: § 21–§ 21a; pages 1–24.

The bill amends the rules for highway toll stickers by eliminating the automatic annual adjustment based on inflation and the length of the highway network and instead directly sets the rates in the law starting in 2027. It maintains the current fee levels, including discounted rates for certain low-emission and natural gas vehicles, and eliminates the Ministry of Transportation’s obligation to announce the rates annually via a notice. The main impact is greater predictability and a “freeze” on the price of highway toll stickers for drivers and business owners. At the same time, lower revenue growth is expected for the State Transport Infrastructure Fund, which may limit funding for transport infrastructure.
