Third Quarterly ERP Review

1. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has completed its quarterly review of traffic conditions on Electronic Road Pricing (ERP)-priced roads and expressways. For this review, the new ERP criteria, namely the 85th percentile speed measurement method and rate adjustment of $1, will be applied to gantries in the CBD and Outer Cordon, as earlier announced, while the old criteria of average speed and rate adjustment of $0.50 will be applied to all the other gantries. Arising from the review, ERP rates at the following gantry will be revised:

_{* ERP rates per Passenger Car Unit (PCU)}

2. The revised rates will apply from Monday, 3 November 2008. The rates for the other gantries will remain unchanged.

New ERP Gantry at PIE (West Bound) before Eunos Link

3. The LTA has also reviewed the traffic conditions along PIE (West Bound) before Eunos Link and will be implementing ERP from 7am to 8am, as traffic speeds have fallen below the threshold levels. The ERP rates are as shown. Please refer to Annex A for the location of the new gantry.

ERP Rate Review Criteria

4. LTA reviews the traffic conditions on the expressways and roads in the Restricted Zone (RZ) and Radial Roads where the ERP system is in operation every quarterly and for the June and December school holidays.

5. Following each review, the ERP rates will be adjusted where necessary. This is to achieve optimal traffic flow on our expressways and roads.
