Will private partners try to increase their profit at citizens’ expense by raising tolls and reducing service?

No. A toll facility is a business venture for a private partner. If tolls are too high, fewer people will travel on the facility, which will result in lower profits for the private entity.

Similarly, reducing service will also drive customers away, which is the last thing that a business wants to do.

Additionally, provisions regulating toll rate increases and performance standards are included in the P3 agreement, and the private partner is legally required to adhere to these provisions.
