Vegfinans AS is a Norwegian toll company owned by the counties Akershus, Buskerud, Innlandet, Telemark, Vestfold and Østfold. The company was created on 14 February 2001 and is headquartered in Drammen.[1] All toll roads in Norway have a toll road operator responsible for the financing of the road project. The right to demand payment of toll charges is granted when a toll charge agreement is entered into with the Norwegian Public Roads Administration.[2]
Vegfinans AS is one of the regional toll companies created following the Government’s decision to merge the toll companies into five regional companies. The Government signed a new toll charge agreement with the company on 17 November 2017.[3] The reform was proposed by Prime minister Solberg's cabinet and has four parts – a reduction of toll road operators, separation of the toll service provision for tolls and ferry tickets from the toll road companies, an interest compensation scheme for toll road loans, and a simplification of the price and discount schemes.[4]
