Abstract
There are many examples of private public partnership in those countries with Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) on their highway systems, but Taiwan has the first example using BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) approach for ETC alone. As an integral part, ETC should have high degree of correlation to the history and policy making process of highway toll policy in Taiwan. This research focuses on the political economy aspects of ETC in Taiwan.
Starting from the background of highway toll policy history in Taiwan, through the actual BOT experiences of ETC, assisted by the political economy analysis, this research hopes to clarify the hidden political economical factors in ETC. In the mean time, by analyzing major contract terms and KPIs’ for ETC, important lessons were learned from for the execution of Private Participation in Infrastructure Projects (PPIP) regulations. Several suggestions are also made in this research to improve the efficiency for the future execution of PPIP.
