The Finnish Ministry of Transport and Communications initiates preparations to reform the transport network development and financing. The aim is an economically sustainable operational framework that provides for a long-term maintenance and development of the transport network.
The project will examine whether network maintenance and development could be the responsibility of a state-owned company. The aim of the preparation project is that the company could start operations in the beginning of 2018.
A state transport network company would mainly finance its operations with customer charges based on the use of the transport network. They would replace a part of the current transport taxes and fees.
