(19) Road charges can mobilise resources that contribute to the financing of the maintenance and development of high quality transport infrastructure. It is therefore appropriate to incentivisefor Member States to use revenues from road charges accordingly and, to this end, to require that theyhat they be required to adequately report on the use of such revenues. Revenues from infrastructure charges should therefore be reinvested in the development of that infrastructure, whilst ensuring appropriate levels of maintenance and the safety of users. That should in particular help identifying possible financing gaps, and raising the public acceptance of road charging.
