Fjellinjen AS is a toll company owned by the City of Oslo (60%) and Viken County Municipality (40%). It is responsible for toll collection from the toll ring around Oslo, having nineteen toll plazas. All toll roads in Norway have a toll road operator responsible for financing 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.[1]

Fjellinjen is one of the regional toll companies created following the Government's decision to merge the toll companies into five regional companies. Fjellinjen became the first regional company when Minister of Transportation and Communications Ketil Solvik-Olsen signed a new toll charge agreement with the company.[2] 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.[3]

Fjellinjen toll stations use the Norwegian electronic toll collection system AutoPASS. Valid AutoPASS transponders are valid in Norwegian toll stations, in addition to EasyGo transponders (such as BroBizz) through the EasyGo partnership.[4]
