A VIRTUOUS CONCESSION MODEL

The motorway concession model, whereby the French State contracts public or private-sector partners to manage the network, originated in legislation passed on 18 April 1955. Within this framework, multi-year planning contracts are agreed between the State and concession holders, setting out the respective commitments of the parties. 
Through this concession model, France has built a high quality nationwide network at a substantial saving to the state, as the network is funded by users rather than taxpayers.
