The aim of the article is to present practical experiences of reforming system of charges for infrastructure use on the base of theoretical assumptions concerning theoretical rules of developing the most efficient solutions. Pricing policy of the European countries in the range of transport infrastructure use has evoked some reservations for many years. On the one hand, large divergence of existing systems in different countries, and even in different modes of transport, has made some disturbances in inter-modal and international competition. On the other hand, investment needs have caused necessary changes in the direction of creating more efficient and fair pricing policy. Moreover, increasing ecological threats resulting from transport activities, have been a very important incentive to modify current system. It should be noticed, that if major theoretical problems concerning optimal reform of pricing policy have been already solved, then practical realisation and introduction of proposed instruments still remains in the planning phase (excluding some original implementations, e.g. in Alpine countries). In the first part of the paper, theoretical foundations of developing system of charges for transport infrastructure use, have been presented. Then, the practice of Western European countries in the range of current system functioning has been analysed. The next part is devoted to describing trials of inefficient system modifications on different levels, i.e. on the level of the European Union, the European Conference of Ministers of Transport and different countries. At the end of the article, barriers of implementing new solutions have been identified. It can be summarised that both political and social acceptance of introducing new instruments has been very weak. Moreover, transport users, especially road freight carriers have been anxious about total increase of infrastructure charges.
