NLEX, SCTEX to Phase Out EasyTrip System and Use RFID

The Department of Transportation (DOTR) announced that the two main tollways, North-Luzon Expressway (NLEX) and Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) will migrate systems from EasyTrip to RFID by September 30.

The DOTR said “The RFID sticker with a microchip will replace the Easytrip tag which will no longer be usable after the phase out,” and that the remaining balance in the Easytrip tags will be carried over to the new RFID system.

The DOTR added that RFID sticker installation sites are already open at the NLEX Bocaue toll plaza (SB) Expansion Lane X01 and Balintawak toll plaza (NB) Customer Service Center Parking Area.

“Onsite RFID sticker installation is also available Monday to Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Balintawak toll plaza Lane N08, Mindanao Ave. (NB) entry, Karuhatan (WB) entry, Balagtas Easytrip Tent, Angeles Easytrip Tent, as well as in the rest and refueling areas: NLEX Drive and Dine Valenzuela, Petron Marilao, Petron Bocaue, Shell Burol, and Petron Lakeshore.”

EasyTrip customers may also have their free RFID stickers installed at Tabang and San Fernando Customer Service Centers from Monday to Saturday, 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., as well as Clark South 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Tarlac installation sites from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
