Toll Regulatory Board spokesperson Julius Corpuz: Since we started the cashless and contactless transactions in our tollways, much improvements have already been implemented. There has been a vast improvement in the flow of traffic. bit.ly/3toZwoO
TRB spokesperson on 'three-strike policy' vs. motorists using cashless lanes without RFID load: We already ordered all the toll operators to conduct a comprehensive info campaign on this policy so motorists will be aware of what this is all about. bit.ly/3vLzc9R
TRB spokesperson on the three-strike policy: We are just trying to give justice and fairness to many compliant and responsible RFID subscribers who are inconvenienced by the irresponsibility of the few who would not want to load. #CNNPHTrafficCenter
TRB spokesperson: There is a contract subscriber enters into and part of that stipulates that they should be responsible enough to have enough load prior to entering any RFID lane. #CNNPHTrafficCenter
TRB spokesperson notes the driver’s license will not be confiscated on the first and second violations, adding they’re giving motorists a fair warning before they’re apprehended. #CNNPHTrafficCenter
TRB spokesperson: If you believe the notice of violation has no basis, you can contest it. We will give due process, we will give motorists a fair chance to prove they are not at fault. #CNNPHTrafficCenter
TRB spokesperson on interoperability of the AutoSweep and EasyTrip RFID: We are working on that. The toll operators are working hard on that. They experienced technical glitches, but they are addressing it now. #CNNPHTrafficCenter
