RFID Requirement at Toll Gates Moved to Dec. 1

The implementation of mandatory cashless toll collections in expressways was moved to Dec. 1 from the start of November in response to the influx of motorists still in line to get their RFID stickers, authorities said Wednesday.

There will be no further extensions to the new Dec. 1 deadline, the Department of Transportation said. Transportation Sec. Arthur Tugade wants to avoid long queues of motorists wanting to get their RFID stickers, Toll Regulatory Board excecutive director Abraham Sales said.
