Ferde AS is a Norwegian toll company owned by Agder, Rogaland and Vestland counties.[1] The company was created on 5 October 2016 is headquartered in Bergen.[2] The company was called Sørvest Bomvegselskap AS until 1 January 2018.[3] All toll roads in Norway have a toll road operator responsible for the financing of the road project. The right to demand payment of toll charges is granted when a toll charge agreement is entered into with the Norwegian Public Roads Administration.[4]

Ferde AS is one of the regional toll companies created following the Government's decision to merge the toll companies into five regional companies. The Government signed a new toll charge agreement with the company on 24 November 2017.[5] The reform was proposed by Prime minister Solberg's cabinet and has four parts – a reduction of toll road operators, separation of the toll service provision for tolls and ferry tickets from the toll road companies, an interest compensation scheme for toll road loans, and a simplification of the price and discount schemes.[6]

Projects

22 existing companies and projects are being transferred to the regional company. Furthermore, all new toll projects in the region will be conducted under Ferde in the future.[1]

All of Ferdes' toll stations uses the Norwegian electronic toll collection system AutoPASS. A valid AutoPASS or EasyGo transponder (such as BroBizz) are valid in Norwegian toll stations through the EasyGo partnership.[7]
