Abstract
The road toll is a significant tool of transport politics due to its economic and social characteristics. Both of
those fields search for integrity in activities for a balanced transport. While the road toll is an attempt of the country for
internalisation of external transportation costs, the method of collecting the toll is a factor of improvement of public roads.
The electronic road toll system (EETS) fulfils those purposes, under the condition of interoperability. The article describes
the functionality of the road toll, its meaning for the internalisation of external costs, the interoperability of systems which
collect road tolls in EU, and the results of incorporation of the electronic road toll systems in Poland. Subject literature, EU
law regulations and institutional data were used in the elaboration.
