ERP rates to increase by S$1 at four expressway stretches from 2 January 2026
ERP rates at four expressway locations will rise by S$1 from 2 January 2026 due to increased congestion, the Land Transport Authority said. Temporary S$1 reductions will apply at six locations during the December school holidays.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has announced that Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) rates at four key expressway locations will rise by S$1 from 2 January 2026.
The changes will affect nine time periods across stretches of the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE), Central Expressway (CTE), Pan Island Expressway (PIE), and Kallang–Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE).
At the KPE (East Coast Parkway) gantry after the Defu flyover, for example, the ERP rate will increase to S$5 during the 8.00am to 8.30am slot.
LTA stated on 17 November that the decision follows its regular quarterly review of traffic conditions. Monitoring data from October 2025 showed increased traffic volume and reduced speeds on several expressway segments.
According to the authority, ERP adjustments are necessary when traffic speeds fall below the optimal range for smooth flow. The rate hike aims to manage congestion by encouraging motorists to adjust their travel times or consider alternative routes.
During the year-end school holidays from 24 November to 31 December 2025, ERP rates at six locations will be reduced by S$1. This holiday adjustment is part of LTA’s regular seasonal review, which typically sees lighter traffic volumes due to school closures.
These reduced rates will revert to their pre-holiday levels, including the newly adjusted charges, from 2 January 2026 onwards.
