高速完全無料化困難 １１年度概算要求 千数百億円どまり 公約は１２年度
The Ministry of Land,Infrastucture, Transport and Tourism decided on Wednesday to increase only several millions of yen for the next fiscal year's budget request to the Ministry of Finance, compared with the fiscal 2010 initial budget, regarding the free toll experiments for expressways nationwide, which began this fiscal year.
Even if the requested amount is allowed to be allotted to the ministry, the money will never exceed 20 billion yen, which is far below 1.3 trillion yen esteemed to be necessary for all the expressways in the country to be toll free.
Then, it would be very difficult to implement the DPJ manifesto issued by the party itself at the time of the 2009 House of Representatives election campaign
that all the expressways across the country should be toll free in principle by fiscal 2012.
