LTA Updates ERP 2.0

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is introducing ERP 2.0, a new system based on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology, to replace the existing ERP system. 

This new system aims to manage traffic flows more dynamically and introduces the possibility of implementing distance-based charging in the future. The installation of the ERP 2.0 on-board unit (OBU) began in August 2023, with over 18,000 vehicles already installed. 

Several improvements have been made to the OBU features and installation process based on feedback from early adopters. One significant enhancement is the ability for motorists to deactivate their CEPAS card for parking payment without removing it from the processing unit. 

Additionally, NETS will provide a complimentary NETS Motoring Card to motorists installing the OBU for use at private carparks that require tapping cards for entry or exit. LTA will deploy service ambassadors to vehicle showrooms and workshops to guide motorists on their options, including signing up for auto top-up of their CEPAS cards. 

Vehicle owners can choose where to install the processing unit, and whether to install the touchscreen display. LTA has received positive feedback on safety notifications from the OBU and is working to expand these notifications to include more speed camera zones. 

Overall, LTA aims to continue enhancing the user experience for all motorists.
