San Miguel Corporation (SMC) has extended the deadline for issuing its free RFID stickers to November 30 due to increased demand.
In a statement on Friday, SMC said that while its operated toll roads are ready to implement full cashless toll collection by November 2, it decided to extend the deadline as the “increase in the number of motorists rushing to convert to the Autosweep RFID system long lines at the installation stations ”in the last two weeks.
“By November 2, all lanes at our toll stations will be fully enabled and will become electronic toll collection, in full compliance with the government’s mandate. However, after careful study and deliberation, and especially in consideration of so many motorists who have not been able to secure an Autosweep RFID account due to the volume of requests we have today, we have decided to extend the deadline until November 30, “he said. the company said.
“This means that from November 2 to 30, vehicles without RFID will still be able to enter the highways. Hopefully this will give motorists more time to get their RFID stickers, ”the company added.
However, SMC emphasized that November 30 will be the absolute deadline. After which, vehicles without RFID tags will not be able to enter SMC-operated toll roads, including Skyway, SLEX, NAIAX, STAR Tollways, and TPLEX.
Motorists who do not comply with the government’s mandate will have to be stopped and issued a fine, he said.
To provide more convenience for motorists, SMC has established installation and recharging lanes at toll plaza entry points, in addition to installation and recharging stations already installed in strategic locations in the Metro Manila and Luzon provinces.
