Starting Saturday, June 1, 2024, agricultural truckers accredited by the Department of Agriculture (DA) will benefit from the Agri-Trucks Toll Rebate Program. This initiative includes toll rebates for trucks on North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), South Luzon Expressway (SLEX), Muntinlupa-Cavite Expressway (MCX), Subic-Clark Expressway (SCTEX), and Manila-Cavite Toll Expressway (CAVITEX).
The program aims to aid 200 to 300 farm product-carrying trucks on these routes. Rebates range from ₱2 to ₱30 for vehicles on SMC Tollways, and ₱16 to ₱156 on MPTC-operated expressways, depending on vehicle class and distance.
Launched by the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) in collaboration with the Department of Finance, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Agriculture, Metro Pacific Tollways Corp. (MPTC), and SMC Tollways, the program seeks to mitigate toll fee impacts on agricultural goods.
