Average Daily Traffic and toll revenue on motorway A4 Katowice-Kraków in 2017

In 2017 the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) on the concession section of the A4 Katowice-Kraków motorway amounted to 43,062 vehicles and was higher by 5.9% than the traffic level recorded in the same period last year (40,680 vehicles). In 2017 toll revenue amounted to PLN 314,628 thousand (excluding revenue related to unused subscription coupons) and was higher by 9.3% than in the same period last year (PLN 287,915 thousand). Difference between dynamics of growth of toll revenue as compared to dynamics of growth of ADT is mainly due to the fact, that 2016 was a leap year and to the change of toll rates for trucks since March 1, 2017.

As far as cars are concerned, the ADT increased from 34,070 vehicles in 2016 to 36,101 vehicles in 2017 (6.0% increase). In 2017 toll revenue from cars amounted to PLN 210,918 thousand (excluding revenue related to unused subscription coupons) and was higher by 5.7% than in 2016 (PLN 199,611 thousand). Difference between dynamics of growth of toll revenue as compared to dynamics of growth of ADT for cars is mainly due to the fact, that 2016 was a leap year.

As far as trucks are concerned, the ADT increased by 5.3%, i.e. from 6,610 vehicles in 2016 to 6,961 vehicles in 2017. While toll revenue from trucks in 2017 amounted to PLN 103,710 thousand (excluding revenue related to unused subscription coupons) and was higher by 17.4% than in 2016 (PLN 88,303 thousand). Difference between dynamics of growth of toll revenue as compared to dynamics of growth of ADT for trucks results from (i) the leap year in 2016, (ii) the change of toll rates since March 1, 2017 (from PLN 16.5 to PLN 18 and from PLN 26.5 to PLN 30) and (iii) differences in vehicle category structure (depending on the category different toll rates are applicable).

Management Board believes that the positive trend in traffic growth is related to the developments in macroeconomic situation and is also the result of users’ appreciation of high standard of motorway.
