Road transport taxes should go to roads



Road transport taxes should go to roads to reduce CO2 emissions!

Every year road users pay in the EU about € 350 billion through taxes from the transport sector, yet the public spending amounts to only € 100 billion per year. The IRU fully supports the principle that each mode of transport should cover its own costs but revenues collected from road users should be put back, first and foremost, into the improvement of road infrastructure, its maintenance and amortisation since adapting road infrastructure is essential to be able to meet the increasing demand for the mobility of persons and goods, as requested by citizens day after day, while simultaneously improving fuel savings and reducing CO2 emissions.
