Gov’t Agencies, Toll Expressway Concessionaires/Operators roll out Toll Rebate Program for Agri-trucks

The Toll Regulatory Board (TRB), Department of Finance (DOF), Department of Transportation (DOTr), and the Department of Agriculture (DA), in collaboration with the toll expressway concessionaires and operators of CAVITEX, NLEX, SCTEX, MCX and SLEX, officially launched the Agri-Trucks Toll Rebate Program. This program, which will take effect on June 1, 2024, allows DA-accredited truckers transporting agricultural goods/products to receive toll rebates equivalent to the recent enumerated toll increases. 

“This program aims to protect the welfare of the general public by minimizing the impact of toll rate increase on the overall inflationary situation to ensure the stability of food prices. The TRB, together with the different government agencies, acknowledges the toll expressway concessionaires and operators for their full support and cooperation as this will not be possible if they did not agree to implement this exemption,” said TRB Executive Director, Atty. Alvin A. Carullo

To qualify for the toll fee increase exemption, agri-trucks should be duly accredited by the Department of Agriculture (DA) and should have a valid Autosweep and/or Easytrip RFID accounts.
