Abstract

The purpose of this report is to improve the understanding of governments of the outlook for road related revenue and for road transport expenditure needs. The report reviews the historic trends in road transport related revenue, and road transport demand and expenditure, and develops possible future scenarios. It explores a number of important factors likely to have a marked influence on these future scenarios, such as tax reform, impact of rail, new technologies and travel demand management. The scenarios are analysed to assess different outlooks for road related revenues and road transport demand. Finally, policy options that governments may wish to explore to address identified impacts are outlined. (a) Austroads Project RSM.F.N.525
