Stick non-stop toll collection card for cars

The Department of Registration has just transferred the technology of pasting tags and creating accounts for paying non-stop road fees to registration centers to keep up with the schedule of putting the non-stop toll station system into operation in June.

Transfer the tag pasting process to the inspection centers.

On May 14 and 15, the Department of Vehicle Registration organized for key officials of the Northern Vehicle Registration Centers to learn and practice the skills of sticking non-stop toll tags (E-Tag) and creating non-stop road toll accounts. Immediately after this session, it will be deployed to the Central and Southern regions.

Accordingly, vehicle owners in need will have their E-tags affixed to them by inspection centers and a non-stop road fee account created for free (from the second time of affixing and creating an account, the vehicle owner will have to pay a fee).

The white, paper-thin card, about 1.5cm x 3cm in size, is affixed to the front windshield or headlight of the car. The card-sticking technique to ensure that the card reader at the toll booth can read the data (meet the requirements) will be performed by the inspection center staff.

Users are also physically checked with specialized tools at the final stage of the tagging process at the inspection center. Each time the tag is affixed and an account is created for each vehicle, it only takes 3-5 minutes.

After being affixed with a tag and creating an account, the owner or driver of the vehicle who needs to use the service deposits money into the created toll account (an account belonging to BIDV bank, cash can be transferred or transferred from another account to this account). When passing through the station, if there is an E-Tag card and the account has enough money, the vehicle can enter the lane reserved for non-stop toll collection, the machine will automatically read the data, calculate the fee and open the barrier for the vehicle to pass immediately.

Practice the step of creating a non-stop fee payment account.

Account owners can check the details of the toll payment and account balance. Vehicle owners who purchase tolls quarterly or monthly can also have their data integrated into their E-Tag and traffic account for use as if they were using the current 1-stop toll booth.

If the vehicle does not have a card and a non-stop toll payment account; or has a card but the account does not have enough money to pay the toll, the barrier will not open, the vehicle will be forced to reverse, move to the one-stop toll lane, and pay the toll in cash.

Deputy Director of the Registration Department Nguyen Huu Tri said: Using non-stop toll collection technology will limit congestion at toll stations, saving time and costs for vehicle owners. "In particular, non-stop toll collection technology will create transparency in toll collection for BOT project investors."

Mr. Tri said that the Ministry of Transport has assigned the task of affixing E-Tags and creating non-stop toll collection accounts to the Department of Registration. According to the schedule set by the Ministry of Transport, from June, toll stations on National Highway 1A and National Highway 14 will start having 2 lanes for non-stop toll collection vehicles, so the task of affixing tags and creating accounts needs to be urgently implemented.

Toll tags do not stop after being affixed to the vehicle.

Currently, the Ministry of Transport has contracted the non-stop toll collection technology to VETC Company (28 stations) and Vietinbank (9 stations) to implement on National Highway 1A and National Highway 14. Of which, VETC has piloted at 2 stations in Quang Binh and Dak Nong.

According to statistics from Tasco Company (investor of the BOT route through Quang Binh), after applying non-stop toll collection, many vehicle owners expressed "interest" and "proud" because they did not have to stop at the toll station; the revenue from toll collection through the station increased by 20% compared to before.
