Introduction
Costs need to be viewed from both an economic and financing point of view.
Affect of public sector financing and tolling
The public sector financing and/or toll charges reduce the effective project costs to the government.
Even if a project is totally funded by the private sector, there will still be some costs to government agencies, such as contract preparation and ongoing contract management and monitoring. The cost of these activities should be included in the cost of the option involving private sector financing.
Similarly the additional cost of toll infrastructure and toll collection must be included in the tolling option.
