The government, through the Department of Transportation, began implementing yesterday its “One RFID, All Tollways” project that allows motorists to choose between Autosweep or EasyTrip as provider of radio frequency identification or RFID stickers for their vehicles.

“Sometimes, you loaded the one for NLEX, but forgot the one for TPLEX. As a result, you have to queue to pay, a waste of time that you should have devoted to sightseeing, bonding with family and work,” President Marcos said at the launch of the One RFID, All Tollways in Laguna.

"We listen to the appeal of our countrymen. We studied the problem and we came up with a good solution. Starting today, only one RFID sticker is needed for the toll expressways for the entire Luzon," Marcos added.
