Nearly 20,000 missed ERP charges settled via the OBU

More than 8 in 10 of the missed payments were settled within the 5-day grace period

- Lee Nian Tjoe Senior Transport Correspondent

About half of missed payments for road toll charges were settled using the next-generation ERP onboard unit (OBU) in September, the month the feature was rolled out.

Some 19,800 out of the 40,200 missed Electronic Road Pricing payments were settled via the OBU, said the Land Transport Authority (LTA) on Oct 19.

More than eight in 10 of the missed payments were settled within the five-day grace period, up from over six in 10 previously — an improvement of 20 percentage points.

Since the exercise to install OBUs in new and existing vehicles began in November 2023, the LTA has been introducing new features to cater to motorists' needs. These include providing real-time traffic alerts, information about carpark availability in key buildings and road closures for key events, as well as a function to temporarily suspend the OBU when drivers have complimentary parking coupons.
