This discount on toll expenses paid by means of holiday vouchers deposited on electronic toll badges will be effective from Thursday until 15 September. The 4.5 million French people who benefit from holiday vouchers can deposit up to 250 euros on their electronic toll badge, for a maximum discount of 25 euros. After asking Sunday in Le Parisien “a gesture” from motorway companies , the new Minister of Transport Clément Beaune was “welcomed” on Tuesday by Vinci’s response, while the rise in fuel prices is increasing the holiday budget this summer. During a visit to Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport on Tuesday, the Minister indicated that he would have “a discussion from the middle of the week with motorway companies to look at very short-term subjects”. “There is the question of tolls which are revalued or reassessed each year in general in February: we will anticipate these discussions with the motorway companies, it will take several weeks”, indicated Mr. Beaune. The Sanef group, subsidiary of the Spanish group Abertis, said in a press release “open to consultation with the State to better ensure the moderation of the motorway tariff over the long term, in the new inflationary context that we are experiencing”. Vinci recalled for its part that it had proposed a “highway decarbonization plan” including multimodal exchange platforms, carpooling parking lots, and other solutions supposed to “reduce the dependence of motorists on fuels”. “An investment plan of this magnitude could obviously also include tariff moderation measures limiting the impact of the repercussion of inflation on the toll increases of the coming years, included in the concession contracts”, underlined in a press release Pierre Coppey, president of Vinci Autoroutes.
