Grace Period for Payment of ERP Gantry Fee Before Imposition of Composition Fines

Mr Muhamad Faisal Bin Abdul Manap asked the Minister for Transport whether LTA will consider allowing a grace period of three working days for motorists to pay the ERP fee upon a violation of the regulations, such as passing through an operational ERP gantry without a properly inserted cash card in the IU or having a cash card with insufficient monetary value, before the imposition of a composition fine.

Mr Lui Tuck Yew: Currently, when a motorist passes through an operational ERP gantry without a cash card properly inserted in the In-Vehicle Unit (IU) or with a cash card with insufficient value, LTA already allows the registered owner of the vehicle to pay the ERP charge within 14 days, along with an administrative charge of $10 (or $8 if payment is made electronically), before a Notice of Traffic Offence carrying a composition offer of $70 is issued.
