President Marcos Jr. Launches "One RFID, All Tollways" for Unified Toll Collection Nationwide

President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. officially launched the "One RFID, All Tollways" interoperability project, a landmark initiative aimed at unifying electronic toll collection systems across major Philippine expressways such as SLEX, NLEX, and other toll networks. In his statement, President Marcos emphasized the project’s role in promoting efficiency, fostering unity, and spearheading innovation in mobility across the country. "This initiative embodies our commitment to deliver reliable connectivity and harness tireless innovation, making transportation faster, simpler, and more convenient for all Filipinos," he said. "One RFID, One Nation on the Move." The Department of Transportation (DOTr), the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB), and private tollway concessionaires coordinated closely to realize this interoperability project, ensuring technical and operational systems aligned seamlessly to allow a single RFID tag to be used nationwide regardless of the expressway operator. The project aims to eliminate the need for multiple RFID stickers and accounts for different tollways, enabling motorists to pay tolls through a unified electronic tag that is compatible across all toll collection points. This integration is expected to reduce queue times, minimize traffic congestion, and improve user experience nationwide. "This is not just a technical upgrade; it is a transformation towards a smarter and more connected infrastructure system," said Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista. "Motorists can now enjoy hassle-free travel from north to south without the frustration of separate RFID accounts or payments." The "One RFID, All Tollways" initiative aligns with the administration’s broader vision under the Bagong Pilipinas development agenda, focused on digitalization and connectivity as pillars for inclusive growth and modernization of transport infrastructure. President Marcos described the project as a reflection of the government’s ongoing reforms to foster resilience, innovation, and unity in public services. "We continue to build the digital backbone of our nation, ensuring that infrastructure keeps pace with the demands of today’s fast-evolving economy and mobility needs," he explained. Stakeholders view this program as a vital step towards a fully integrated transport network, easing logistics, supporting economic activity, and delivering convenience to millions of motorists daily. As the administration pushes forward with such initiatives, commitments to reliable connectivity and tireless innovation remain at the forefront of delivering a modern Philippines. The "One RFID, One Nation on the Move" project marks an important chapter in the country’s journey to a connected and efficient future.

President Marcos Jr. Launches "One RFID, All Tollways" Project to Unify Toll Systems Nationwide

President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. inaugurated the "One RFID, All Tollways" interoperability project, a crucial step towards unifying RFID systems across expressways such as the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX), North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), and other toll networks nationwide. During the launch, President Marcos emphasized the project’s role in advancing "efficiency, unity, and innovation in mobility." He stated, \"The initiative reflects our unwavering commitment to reliable connectivity and tireless innovation. With one RFID system functioning across all tollways, we ensure faster, simpler, and nationwide-compatible toll collection that benefits every Filipino commuter.\" The project is a product of close coordination among the Department of Transportation (DOTr), the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB), and private tollway concessionaires. This collaboration has been instrumental in harmonizing various RFID technologies, enabling motorists to use a single RFID sticker across multiple tollways, thus eliminating the need for multiple accounts or tags. By simplifying the toll collection process, the government aims to reduce congestion and delay, fostering a more seamless travel experience. "Motorists will no longer face the inconvenience of managing multiple RFID accounts for different expressways," noted a DOTr official involved in the project. The "One RFID, All Tollways" project aligns with the administration’s broader vision under the "Bagong Pilipinas" framework, which advocates for a digital and connected infrastructure. This vision seeks to enhance national development by leveraging technology to improve public services and transportation systems. President Marcos further underscored the importance of digital infrastructure in national progress, saying, \"Our government's digital infrastructure initiative is not just about technology; it’s about building a united and efficient nation. This project demonstrates how innovation can bridge gaps, making daily life simpler and our economy stronger.\" As the Philippines continues to modernize its infrastructure, this interoperability project sets a new standard for public-private partnership and government-led digital transformation. The core message from the President, "Reliable Connectivity, Tireless Innovation: One RFID, One Nation on the Move," encapsulates the administration’s dedication to seamless integration and forward-looking reforms in public mobility.
