ABOUT

The roads Tolls Act, 1985 enacted by the Parliament of the United Republic of Tanzania on 26 July 1985 provided for the imposition and collection of tolls on the vehicular use of public roads and for other matters related to roads tolls. The tolls were treated as normal government revenues. Two Road Funds were established under two separate declarations made by the Minister for Finance at different times. The first declaration called the “DECLARATION TO ESTABLISH A SPECIAL ROAD FUND”. Or “THE ROADS FUND” was made in august 1991, and the second , the “DECLARATION TO ESTABLISH THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT ROADS FUND” was made in august 1992. The Roads Fund was to be used to meet maintenance cost for regional core roads as well as to fund the rehabilitation and maintenance of urban and district roads. Funds were to be derived from the road toll levied on petrol and diesel and various sources levied on motor vehicles such as motor vehicle licenses, motor vehicle registration etc.

The Board came into operation in the year 2000 and was located in TETEX House along Pamba road Dar es Salaam.
