DPWH: Toll-free expressways for medical frontliners

All expressways nationwide are now toll-free for medical frontliners during the enhanced community quarantine.

This initiative was announced by Public Works and Highways Secretary Mark Villar following agreements with SMC Infrastructure, Metro Pacific, and Ayala Corporation.

The toll operators expressed their appreciation for the dedication and commitment of medical frontliners fighting COVID-19.

To avail of the free toll, health workers must present their Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) IDs and secure a toll-free Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) sticker or have their current RFID stickers enrolled.

For Metro Pacific expressways like NLEX and SCTEX, enrollment and installation of RFID stickers are available at NLEX Balintawak and CAVITEX Customer Service Centers from Mondays to Saturdays, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

For SMC expressways including STAR Tollway, SLEX, Skyway, NAIAX, and TPLEX, this can be done at Shell Magallanes Station and NAIAX Toll Gate from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
