Singapore ERP 2.0 & Electronic Road Pricing Tolls Guide 2026

Complete guide to Electronic Road Pricing (ERP 2.0) in Singapore. Explains Next-Gen Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), On-Board Unit (OBU), gantries, & toll rates.

Statutory Overview & Driving Framework

Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) is Singapore's electronic toll collection system managed by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) under the Road Traffic Act to manage traffic congestion on arterial roads and expressways. Singapore is transitioning to ERP 2.0, a satellite-based system utilizing Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology, replacing traditional physical gantry gantries. Vehicles are fitted with an On-Board Unit (OBU) comprising a touchscreen display, processing unit, and antenna. Toll charges (ranging from S$0.50 to S$6.00) are automatically deducted from a CEPAS card (EZ-Link / NETS Motoring Card) or direct backend bank payment (EZ-Pay / NETS vCashCard) when passing ERP zones during peak hours. Use this guide to understand ERP 2.0 in Singapore.
