The Land Transport Authority (LTA) of Singapore plays a crucial role in managing the country’s transportation system, including implementing the Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) system. One of the key features of this system is the annual adjustment of ERP rates during holiday periods, particularly school holidays. This practice aims to enhance traffic flow and accommodate the changing travel patterns of the public.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has announced the updated Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) rates for the upcoming June 2025 school holidays. The revised rates will be effective from 2 June 2025 to 29 June 2025.
Reduced ERP Rates:
The following locations will see a decrease in ERP rates during the specified time periods:
| Location | Time Period | Current ERP Rates* | Revised ERP Rates |

*ERP rate per Passenger Car Unit (PCU)
**Rates for other time slots at previously announced gantries remain unchanged.
Purpose of Rate Adjustments
The primary objective of adjusting ERP rates during holiday periods is to alleviate congestion on the roads. During school holidays, traffic patterns often shift as families embark on vacations, and students are not commuting to school. By lowering ERP rates, the LTA encourages drivers to utilize the road network more efficiently, thereby reducing peak hour congestion and improving overall travel experience.
The revised rates will revert to the standard charges after the school holiday period, effective from 30 June 2025. Rates for other gantries will remain unchanged.
