Myanmar’s road sector investment needs—and costs—reach about $1.45 billion annually. Road externalities in Myanmar, particularly accidents, represent a cost similar in magnitude. The infrastructure and external costs associated with each vehicle are high, justifying a potentially high level of taxation.
This report presents a preliminary economic analysis of road user costs and fees, partly drawing from the World Bank’s Road User Charge model and analysis framework, and a review of the tolling system. Proposed improvements in the road user charging framework include measures such as creating a new heavy vehicle license fee, creating a fuel levy, and restructuring the road tolling program.
