Romanian transport lobby seeks suspension of TollRo penalties until 2027, citing system flaws

COTAR, a Romanian transport operators' confederation, has formally requested that penalties for non-payment of the TollRo road toll be suspended until March 31, 2027, and that the fixed 2,000 lei fee be temporarily removed. The group claims the underlying applications remain deficient, contradicting CNAIR's announcement that the platform will be operational on October 1. This dispute highlights a potential operational gap in Romania's tolling infrastructure, with implications for transport costs and government revenue.
