==Financing and management==
Some toll roads are managed under such systems as the [[Build-Operate-Transfer]] (BOT) system. Private companies build the roads and are given a limited franchise. Ownership is transferred to the government when the franchise expires.

[[Kansas]], [[Maryland]], [[Massachusetts]], [[New Hampshire]], [[New Jersey]], [[New York (state)|New York]], [[North Carolina]], [[Ohio]], [[Oklahoma]], [[Pennsylvania]], and [[West Virginia]] manage their toll roads in this manner. While most of the toll roads in California, Delaware, Florida, Texas, and Virginia are operating under the BOT arrangement, a few of the older toll roads in these states are still operated by public authorities.

In France, some toll roads are operated by private or public companies, with specific taxes collected by the state.{{Citation needed|date=January 2009}}
