The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has completed its latest review of Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) rates.
2. Based on LTA’s monitoring of traffic conditions in February and March 2021, traffic speeds have remained generally optimal on all arterial roads, including those within the Central Business District. Hence, ERP charges will remain at $0 at these locations until the next review.
3. Traffic speeds have also remained generally optimal on most expressways, but in tandem with the progressive easing of safe management measures, traffic volume has built up at certain stretches on the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) and Central Expressway (CTE).
4. Specifically, it has been observed that there appears to be a structural change in morning peak hour traffic. Instead of very high traffic volumes concentrated in a short window, we see heavy traffic across a longer duration, from 7am to 10am.
5. To manage congestion at these locations and further spread out traffic volume, ERP rates will be adjusted by $1.00 with effect from 12 April 2021 at the following gantries on the AYE and CTE during the specified time periods. Following this adjustment, ERP will be charged at 12 gantries, compared to 77 gantries pre-COVID, with the highest ERP rate of $3 as compared to $6 pre-COVID:

6. There continue to be no ERP charges on other expressways and arterial roads.
7. LTA will continue to monitor traffic speeds and congestion levels closely and assess if ERP rates need to be further adjusted as safe management measures continue to evolve.
