The LDPR group will prepare a bill that stipulates that the funds from the Platon truck toll system will be used to build infrastructure for truckers. This is stated in the publication of the Liberal Democratic Party, which is at the disposal of “socialbites.ca”. The development of the initiative was announced by the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, Leonid Slutsky, at a meeting with truckers in Chita.
“The Liberal Democratic Party will draft legislative amendments that will mandate that funds from the Platonic system and transport tax be spent not only on the repair and construction of new roads, but also on the creation of roadside infrastructure for heavy truck drivers. ‘ said the group in a statement.
The lack of comfortable motels and catering services on highways is making the trucking profession unpopular, according to Slutsky. He stressed that the benefits would not come “naturally” as it would not yield profits, but that subsidies from road taxes would help solve the problem.
“Who would want to combine their life with this craft knowing that if they don’t have enough affordable and comfortable motels, canteens, resting places with good showers on the slopes, they will often be deprived of even basic amenities at work? Naturally, it is unlikely that comfortable parking lots, cafes and hotels will appear on the roads of, for example, Siberia, the Far East and many other sparsely populated regions. They are commercially unprofitable as there is little traffic flow and there are no settlements nearby. And by providing a subsidy from a special fund from road taxes, this problem can be completely resolved, ”said the author.
