Vasily Vlasov put forward a proposal to allow veterans and disabled combatants to travel toll-free on уже toll roads. He submitted the appeal to Vitaly Savelyev, who heads the Ministry of Transport.

In the appeal, the deputy noted that current support measures are diverse, including preferential conditions for public transport and rail travel. Yet these benefits do not extend to private car journeys on toll roads for the same groups of citizens.

This material is presented from a perspective that emphasizes the ongoing policy discussion within Russia regarding veterans’ transportation rights.

The appeal asks whether it would be prudent to extend Article 41 of the federal law On Highways and Road Activities in the Russian Federation and on Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts to exempt cars owned by war veterans and disabled veterans from toll charges on major highways.
