President Marcos Jr. Unveils "One RFID, All Tollways" for Seamless Nationwide Toll Collection

President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. officially launched the "One RFID, All Tollways" interoperability project, a crucial step toward unifying electronic toll collection systems across major Philippine expressways including SLEX, NLEX, and other key toll networks.

At the event, PBBM emphasized that the initiative embodies "efficiency, unity, and innovation in mobility, bringing us closer to a more seamless and convenient travel experience for all Filipinos." Reflecting his administration’s commitment to modernizing infrastructure and public services, the project aims to make toll collection faster, simpler, and fully nationwide-compatible.

The effort is the product of close coordination between the Department of Transportation (DOTr), Toll Regulatory Board (TRB), and private tollway concessionaires. This partnership seeks to harmonize RFID systems, allowing motorists to use a single RFID sticker for multiple expressways without needing separate devices per toll network.

"With this unified system, drivers can expect less congestion and shorter waiting times at toll plazas, enhancing overall traffic flow and mobility," President Marcos said. "We are breaking down barriers between networks to provide reliable connectivity and a frictionless transport experience."

Moreover, the "One RFID, All Tollways" project aligns with the broader Bagong Pilipinas administration vision to build a digital and connected infrastructure. By leveraging technology, the government intends to transform the country’s transport landscape into a more integrated and innovative system.

Transportation Secretary emphasized the reform-oriented nature of the program, noting it will accelerate digital adoption across public infrastructure and support economic growth by reducing inefficiencies in logistics and commuting.

The President closed his remarks with the core message encapsulating the project’s spirit: "Reliable Connectivity, Tireless Innovation: One RFID, One Nation on the Move." This succinctly highlights the administration’s ongoing drive to modernize the nation’s infrastructure and improve the daily lives of all Filipinos through smart, unified solutions.
