The Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) has authorized the implementation of the 2nd tranche of the approved toll rate adjustment for Subic Clark Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) due in 2021 and 2023.
An additional P 0.64 per km for class 1 vehicles, P1.29 per km for class 2 and P1.93 per km for class 3 will be collected effective November 19, 2024.
The additional rates, which followed strict compliance with regulatory procedures and underwent thorough review, were part of the approved periodic adjustments of SCTEX due in 2021 and 2023.
The increase was deferred and divided into three tranches that will be collected over three years to help curb the inflationary strains and ease impact on the users of the expressway.
TRB has authorized the implementation of the 1st tranche of the approved toll adjustments last October 17, 2023.
Once implemented, motorists with Class 1 vehicles (cars/SUVs) traveling from Mabalacat City (Mabiga Interchange) to Tarlac will pay an additional P25.
Those using Class 2 vehicles (buses and small commercial trucks) on the same route will pay an additional P50 and Class 3 vehicles (large trucks/trailers) will incur an additional charge of P75.
Meanwhile, motorists traveling between Mabalacat City and Tipo, Hermosa, Bataan (near Subic Freeport) will be charged an additional P41, P81, and P121 for Class 1, 2, and 3 vehicles, respectively.
In recent years, impactful projects have been undertaken to enhance the safety and convenience of all SCTEX users.
From 2020 to 2023, the company undertook numerous infrastructure and enhancements projects as part of its commitment to improve motorists’ safety and convenience while traversing the expressway.
These efforts include the installation and upgrading of roadway lights and signage, maintenance and toll plaza improvement works, pavement replacement and crack sealing, guardrail and fence repairs, RFID system enhancements, toll systems upgrades, the Dinalupihan road raising project, the Porac Gumain, San Matias and Pasig Potrero bridges repairs and the construction of rainwater collection systems in Floridablanca and Dinalupihan rest bays.
