ERP rates at selected gantries to increase from Nov 19

With LTA's latest review on ERP rates, selected gantries along the AYE, PIE, CTE and KPE will see a price increase on Nov 19, with the change for the remaining gantries only coming into effect after the December school holidays,

Based on LTA’s monitoring of traffic conditions in October 2022, traffic has built up at various stretches of expressways. nine time periods across 6 locations have been identified for ERP rate increases as traffic speeds at these timeslots have fallen below the optimal speed range.

In view of the upcoming December school holidays, ERP rates for 4 of the time periods across 3 locations will be implemented only after the school holidays, from Tuesday, Jan 3, 2023, as their traffic speeds are projected to improve temporarily during the December school holidays.

For the other five time periods across three locations where low speeds would likely persist throughout the December school holidays, ERP rates will be increased by $1 with effect from Nov 19, 2022.

Meanwhile, seven other time periods across four locations will see an ERP rate reduction during the December school holiday period, from 19 November 2022 and will revert to the pre-school holiday charges from Tuesday, 3 January 2023 onwards.

ERP rates will increase at five time periods for these locations with effect from Nov 19, 2022
