Operating control reverts back to the public sector client once the final payment has been made.

	Payments may come in the form of availability payments or shadow tolls. Under an availability payment arrangement, the public sector client makes payments once the project is ready to use. Under a shadow toll arrangement, the public sector pays a predetermined amount to the private sector contractor for operating and maintaining the project. In the case of highways, bridges, tunnels and other roadworks that shadow toll fee is usually based on the number of vehicles that use the asset.
