It was introduced by the Land Transport Authority in 1998 to manage vehicle usage during peak traffic hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This toll collection system also serves as a form of usage-based taxation that complements the <a href=\"https:\/\/carsnap.sg\/blog\/coe-price-in-singapore\/\">Certificate of Entitlement system<\/a>, putting a fee on vehicles entering certain roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the implementation of this system, motorists have to pay a calculated fee based on the consumption of road space and their use of certain public roads during peak hours.<br><br>To avoid incurring ERP charges, motorists can choose alternative routes, travel outside the operational hours or use public transport instead. <br><br>Generally, ERP charges are set in half-hour periods. and the ERP rates are reviewed and adjusted every quarter, during June and December school holidays depending on the traffic conditions at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Did you know?<\/p><cite>The amount you have to pay for ERP charges varies depending on the type of vehicle you are driving and the time at which you enter the ERP gantry. Larger vehicles tend to incur higher fees, and during peak hours, the fees can fluctuate every half hour in an effort to spread out traffic more evenly.<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<cite>Land Transport Authority (LTA)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>It good to know that ERP charges are not applicable on Sundays and public holidays. Additionally, ERP operations cease at 1 pm on the eve of major holidays, including New Year\u2019s Day, Chinese New Year, Hari Raya Puasa, Deepavali and Christmas Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-many-erp-gantries-are-there-in-singapore\">How many ERP gantries are there in Singapore?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In total, Singapore has 78 Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) gantries located across the island for road congestions management.

The first is to insert a stored-value card, such as NETS CashCard or CEPAS Card, into your in-vehicle unit (IU).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nets.com.sg\/personal\/motoring-payments\/cashcard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NETS CashCard<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ezlink.com.sg\/get-your-ez-link-card\/where-the-cards-are-sold\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EZ-Link CEPAS Card<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nets.com.sg\/personal\/retail-payments\/nets-flashpay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NETS FlashPay Card<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this immediate deduction of the ERP fee can be inconvenient if you don\u2019t have enough value on your card. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid this problem, you can register to a backend payment service online and make it more convenient:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/vcashcard.nets.com.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Virtual CashCard<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ezpayreg.ezlink.com.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EZ-Link Motoring Service<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have registered with the required service providers, you will be notified of successful activation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"where-to-buy-cashcard\">Where to buy cashcard?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"nets-cash-card\"><strong>NETS CashCard<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>NETS CashCards are stored value cards that enable you to make payment at car parks and Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) gantries.

You can buy them either at the NETS Customer Service Centre or petrol stations islandwide, but availability may vary from station to station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ez-link-card\"><strong>EZ-Link card<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An EZ-Link card can be purchased at MRT stations, bus interchanges, convenience stores and vending machines located across Singapore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use the card to make payments for public transport, parking, ERP, private buses, taxis and many other outlets like restaurants, entertainment venues and community clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"nets-motoring-card\">NETS Motoring Card<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find purchase the NETS Motoring Card at convenient locations around Singapore such as the NETS Customer Service Centre, 7-Eleven, Cheers, FairPrice Xpress, Buzz, Vicom outlets and petrol stations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This one card gives you access to all car parks in Singapore and is also compatible with both current dual-mode IU device and the upcoming on-board unit (OBU).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-to-do-if-my-iu-is-not-working\">What to do if my IU is not working?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For IU that are still within their 5-year warranty period, you may take it to an IU inspection centre to be inspected and repaired for free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, for IU outside the warranty or with unreadable or missing labels, you will need to replace or remove it. Removal of the IU unit is subject to a service fee of S$15 at each service centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"where-can-i-find-my-iu-number\">Where can I find my IU number?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s easily distinguishable by its 10-digit count and can be found either on a sticker on your in-vehicle unit or in your <a href=\"https:\/\/carsnap.sg\/blog\/singapore-vehicle-lta-log-card\/\">vehicle&#8217;s log card<\/a> &#8211; just like how every car has a unique license plate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-i-transfer-my-iu-unit-to-another-vehicle\">Can I transfer my IU unit to another vehicle?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer is yes.
