For everyone who loves the convenience brought about by the cashless/contactless transactions when going through the expressway toll gates, there has been a recent development regarding that very implementation.
Below is the recent joint statement between the Toll Concessionaires and Operators:
“We, the toll concessionaires operating the country’s expressways, fully support the government’s initiative to reimplement the Cashless/Contactless Toll Collection Policy through Joint Memorandum Circular (JMC) No. 2024-001 issued by the Department of Transportation (DOTr), Land Transportation Office (LTO), and Toll Regulatory Board (TRB).
This policy plays a key role in easing traffic at toll plazas, improving safety and convenience for motorists, and optimizing expressway operations.
Based on the latest data from the TRB, 97% of expressway users already use an Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) Device/RFID Sticker for toll payments. With the reimplementation of the cashless/contactless toll collection policy, we encourage the remaining 3% of motorists who still pay in cash to switch to RFID for a faster, more efficient, and seamless toll experience.
Getting an RFID is simple and hassle-free. Installation is free, with no maintaining balance or minimum load required. Reloading is also easy and accessible through customer service centers, kiosks, banks, e-wallets, and other payment platforms, making it more convenient to manage your account.
To stay updated on transactions, we encourage motorists to update their contact details, including email and mobile number, to receive account notifications and monthly statements. The official RFID mobile apps are also available for quick balance checks, reloading, and toll fee calculations.
As toll operators, we are committed to continuously improving our systems to provide safer, faster, and more convenient expressway travel for all.”
