Holistic HVCI Reform for Efficient Heavy Vehicle Road Access

This document discusses the disconnect between user charges and road expenditure, proposing a new framework for funding heavy vehicle access. It covers planning, investment, regulation, and funding, aiming to ensure sustainable infrastructure provision. Key questions on funding sources, infrastructure bottlenecks, and supply chain involvement are addressed to promote transparency and efficiency in heavy vehicle operations.

  1. Freight and Logistics Council of WAA more holistic HVCI Reform Meena Naidu, Project Director 30 August 2012

  2. The disconnects: between the charges paid by users and the expenditure needed to provide heavy vehicle road access between the funds received by governments and the monies actually spent (and required to be spent) between the three levels of government in planning, investment and allocation of funds for heavy vehicle road services. A broken system

  3. CRRP Feasibility Study

  4. The new focus for HVCI Government Funding Investment and planning Access and incentives Charging and regulation Heavy vehicle user Freight customer Community

  5. The new heavy vehicle charges and investment framework Broad multimodal transport planning considering community and broader supply chain requirements Supply chain National Local Planning function Regulation function HV investment and co-ordination function LV/CSO investment and co-ordination function HV Funding (Charges revenue) LV/CSO funding (Govt taxation revenues) Contribution to mixed investment Funds allocated based on usage, to fund investment LV/CSO Financing HV Financing Infrastructure/service provision function Payment for access based on regulated charges and usage Access Heavy vehicle usage Light vehicle usage

  6. HV charges revenue will be tied to HV related capital and maintenance investments and will not go into general revenues. HV related investment that are funded through charges will not be determined through current budgeting processes Charges will only fund commercially viable maintenance and capital investment (i.e. where sufficient benefits accrue to the heavy vehicle user to justify the cost) Governments will need to fund investments that are not commercially viable through general taxation revenues but will not be recoverable through charges – there is no restriction to the extent to which governments wish to do this The threshold issues

  7. Proving the benefits To what extent is access currently being limited due to a lack of funds or funding uncertainty? To what extent do infrastructure bottlenecks exist within the system? To what extent will access be compromised in the future due to a lack of maintenance? Will the broader supply chain be interested in providing infrastructure if costs are recovered through charges? How can transparency lead to better investment and usage?
