Vegamot AS is a Norwegian toll company owned by Trøndelag and Møre og Romsdal counties. The company was created in 1983 and is headquartered in Trondheim.[1] 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.[2]
Vegamot 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 18 August 2017.[3] 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.[4]
All of Vegamot's 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.[5] The only manual toll road left in Norway is the Atlantic Ocean Tunnel. The tunnel is within Vegamot's region, but has not been transferred to Vegamot.[6]
