SINGAPORE — The Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) rates will increase by $1 at 10 gantries along the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) and Central Expressway (CTE) at certain time slots from Monday (14 February).

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said traffic speeds have been generally optimal on all arterial roads, including those within the Central Business District. As such, there will be no ERP charges at these locations until the next review, LTA said.

“However, with the easing of workplace restrictions from 1 January, where 50 per cent of those who can work from home are allowed to return to the office, traffic has built up at certain stretches on the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) and Central Expressway (CTE).”

After the adjustment, the majority of ERP gantries remain unpriced and ERP will be charged at only seven locations, compared to 29 locations before the COVID-19 pandemic, LTA said.
