Toll Road Operators in Australia - Industry Market Research Report

On the road again: Traffic is returning to toll roads and driving up revenue growth

Toll road operators charge motorists for the right to access high-quality roads that reduce travel times. Revenue from individual toll roads is typically stable as individual assets grow in popularity with motorists over their lifetime, and congestion and market acceptance boost toll road use and allow operators to raise prices and expand. However, industry revenue volatility can rise when new roads enter operation. The industry is capital-intensive, as tunnels, bridges and other expensive design features are often built on toll roads to save motorists time on their commutes. Ideally, tolling revenue is sufficient to cover both operating costs and provide a return for investors after debt payments.

Industry firms operate toll roads and bridges, often on behalf of state governments, for a profit.
