Resum

Despite the general consensus on the need for good infrastructure to facilitate growth, there is an open debate on how to finance and maintain this infrastructure. Building new infrastructure is generally welcomed because of its beneficial effect on growth and user satisfaction, but maintenance has none of this glamour. In Spain transport is by road in 90% of private travel and 80% of merchandise. The question to be asked is why should roads be free when other means of transport are not. Limitations in public revenue raising point to the need to bring in the private sector in the construction and maintenance of infrastructure for a sustainable model of mobility.
