- A new report highlights the positive impacts of Cintra’s toll roads in nine countries in the Americas, Europe, and Australia.
- They contributed to the creation of more than 334,000 Full Time Equivalent job-years through 2021.
- The roads make a vital contribution to well-being in society — in 2021 alone, they saved users more than 80 million hours.
Ferrovial, in collaboration with consulting firm Steer, has released Cintra’s Economic and Social Impact Report, which analyzes toll roads in several geographies.
The report examined 21 toll roads managed by Cintra, a subsidiary of Ferrovial, in the United States, Canada, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Australia, Slovakia and Colombia. The report reveals the socioeconomic impacts of these toll roads — the benefits they generate for society — and those derived from the investment in them on the economy of these regions through December 31, 2021.
Steer drew on official national and regional data and project figures to create a comprehensive assessment framework for all the road assets. The firm also calculated the travel time saved and the reduction in accident numbers on the toll roads by comparison with a hypothetical scenario in which the roads do not exist.
