About revision of national expense calculation amount pertaining to FY2007 Expressway toll social experiment

The Tohoku Regional Development Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the NEXCO EAST Tohoku Regional Head Office Office are conducting a fee-discount social experiment to further effectively use the Expressway network.

In this social experiment, the amount of influence* on the Expressway company's income due to the discount of tolls is to be taken at the national expense, but this time, the amount of the national burden for the experiment conducted in FY 2007 was calculated. With regard to the above, it was found that corrections were necessary as described below, and the Expressway company returned the difference in the amount of measures to the national treasury.

We apologize for the revision of the burden on the country that should be handled strictly, and in the future, we will make thorough confirmation with the Tohoku Regional Development Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the NEXCO EAST Tohoku Regional Head Office Office to ensure the recurrence. I will.
