user fee
Pay-to-use cost
A user fee is a charge for accessing a specific service or facility, paid by those who actually use it rather than funded through general taxes: The national park charges a user fee for entry.
The term often appears in policy debates about whether services should be publicly funded or paid for directly: Critics argue user fees discourage low-income residents from using public transit.
