== Funding ==
Funding for ProRail is primarily provided via a government [[subsidy]], on top of which fees are charged to the various railway operators (called ''infraheffing'').<ref name = "outsourcing 2006"/> The government subsidy totalled around €2.5 billion from 2014–2017,<ref>{{cite web |url = https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/binaries/rijksoverheid/documenten/rapporten/2014/12/15/bijlage-2-beheerplan-prorail-2015/bijlage-2-beheerplan-prorail-2015.pdf |page = 30 |title = ProRail report 2015 |access-date = 22 February 2016 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160303133634/https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/binaries/rijksoverheid/documenten/rapporten/2014/12/15/bijlage-2-beheerplan-prorail-2015/bijlage-2-beheerplan-prorail-2015.pdf |archive-date = 3 March 2016 |url-status = dead }}</ref> and the ''infraheffing'' totalled approximately €200 million in 2006, the remaining income was listed as 'other'.
