The new toll tariffs and monthly caps for registered users become effective from Thursday‚ the South African National Roads Agency (Sanral) said on Wednesday.
“Government listened to the concerns of lower- and middle income communities about the impact of transport costs on their budgets‚ and responded by reducing the tariffs‚” said Sanral head of communications‚ Vusi Mona.
“Account holders are the first to benefit from the new dispensation with reduced tariffs per kilometre and monthly caps on all classes of vehicles.
“For light vehicles the monthly cap is now only R225 for Sanral account holders – down by 50% from the R450 per month that has been levied up until now.”
E-toll fees that are outstanding will be discounted by 60%. Users will have six months within which to settle debt or making a payment arrangement dating back to December 2013 at the discounted tariff.
