Background

Financing transport infrastructure is a major societal challenge for the state as well as for cities and municipalities. The potential for traditional budget-based funding to finance new infrastructure projects is limited. As a result, socio-economically viable projects may not be implemented at all or may be more limited than desired, which is problematic from the point of view of achieving the goals of economic growth and sustainable development. Flexibility in financing and delivery solutions offers better opportunities to plan and implement projects on a long-term basis. This is in line with the goals of Finland's future national, 12-year transport system plan.
