The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure is beginning to work on the ‘dynamic rate’ model, which is scheduled to be implemented on roads and bridges in 2021.
The 2021 Presidency Work Program was published in the Official Gazette. In the program, it is stated that the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure will work on a new pricing model for roads and bridges in the new year. It will allow citizens to use toll roads more cheaply for some days and hours, or it will lower prices when fares increase.
Under the program, the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure will begin work on a “dynamic pricing model”, in which road and bridge rates can change instantly in 2021.
HAVE AN EXAMPLE IN EUROPE
The dynamic pricing model is applied in some European countries. In this model, user demands are followed with special software every day and every hour. The pricing strategy can also change depending on the intensity or decline of demand.
On the other hand, decisions about the works to be carried out on the highways were also included in the program. Consequently, work will be completed on the legal and institutional arrangements necessary for performance-based contracts to carry out maintenance and repair services on the road network, mainly by the private sector.
