Expressways in the country are divided among two major toll operators, requiring the use of separate radio frequency identification (RFID) tags in the form of EasyTrip and Autosweep. Motorists have clamored to allow the use of one RFID tag for all tollways, and fortunately, there’s now a solution.
SMC Infrastructure has released guidelines for users to enroll their EasyTrip accounts to Autosweep
EasyTrip tags are used on tollways run by Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation or MPTC such as the North Luzon Expressway and Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway. San Miguel Corporation Infrastructure has announced that these can now be read on its own thoroughfares such as the South Luzon Expressway and Skyway.
On its Facebook page, the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) posted the guidelines on how this will be made possible. EasyTrip stickers for vehicle classes 1, 2, and 3 are eligible for enrolment in Autosweep, as long as these use the latest neology format.
Customers need to bring the vehicle bearing the EasyTrip sticker to any of the designated Autosweep customer service centers and kiosks. SMC toll personnel will analyze the EasyTrip tag and determine if the existing Autosweep tag installed on the vehicle can be scanned by readers. Once done, the EasyTrip account will be enrolled in the Autosweep system.
Eligible EasyTrip stickers can be read by Autosweep scanners starting January 15, 2023
Active Autosweep tags installed in a vehicle and readable on SMC toll roads cannot be removed, even after the EasyTrip account has been successfully enrolled under Autosweep.
If the EasyTrip tag linked to Autosweep has been damaged, users are advised to head to the nearest Autosweep Customer Service Center to have the tag replaced. Afterwards, they must also go to an EasyTrip Customer Service Center to have the account updated. Of note, motorists with an Easytrip RFID can set up an Autosweep account starting January 15, 2023.
