ERP Road Pricing Framework and ERP 2.0 Cutover

Do not invent a single “city entry” toll. A charge answer needs location, direction, vehicle class, time band, and effective date from LTA’s current table. Narrative interpretation lives in erp and road pricing.

Population bases

Term Meaning in this dataset Do not confuse with
Priced road use Passing an ERP gantry or priced location during operating hours COE ownership, road tax, parking, fuel duty, or traffic fines
Vehicle class LTA ERP vehicle-type category (e.g. motorcycle, car, goods vehicle) COE category letter alone without checking the ERP rate table
Singapore-registered vehicle Vehicles registered in Singapore with IU/OBU obligations Foreign-registered vehicles (different payment rules)
Foreign-registered vehicle Vehicles registered outside Singapore using Singapore roads Singapore-registered fleet or private cars
Classic/vintage vehicle CVV scheme vehicles with usage restrictions Ordinary passenger cars
ERP operational day Monday–Saturday when ERP charges apply; no charge on Sundays and public holidays Calendar days including non-operating Sundays/holidays

What is charged Use of a priced road location during an operating period Priced road use at a gantry/location 2026-08
Charge dimensions Location, direction, vehicle class, time Matching ERP rate-table row 2026-08
Not the same as COE ownership right, road tax, parking, fuel duty, or traffic fines Road-use charge vs ownership/tax/fines 2026-08
Rate review cadence Quarterly and around June/December school holidays; rates may move in S$1 steps Half-hour ERP rate bands by location and vehicle class 2026-08
Distance-based charging Not active; LTA said no immediate plans when OBU rollout began GNSS-capable ERP 2.0 hardware vs charging regime 2026-08

ERP 2.0 equipment versus regime cutover

Milestone Status / rule Population / denominator As of
OBU installation exercise Began Nov 2023 for fleet vehicles; expanding to Singapore-registered vehicles Singapore-registered vehicles replacing IU with OBU 2026-08
Charging framework during OBU transition No change merely because an OBU is installed Priced road use during transition period 2026-08
Regime cutover From 1 January 2027 National ERP 2.0 charging regime 1 Jan 2027
Classic / vintage without OBU (from cutover) Daily flat charge: S$3 motorcycle / S$10 other vehicle (when using public roads) CVV vehicles without OBU on ERP operational days 1 Jan 2027
Foreign-registered without OBU (from cutover) Daily flat charge: S$3 motorcycle / S$10 other vehicle per ERP operational day Foreign-registered vehicles entering without OBU 1 Jan 2027
Physical gantries after cutover Cease to define visible charging points; signs/markings identify locations Priced road locations under ERP 2.0 1 Jan 2027
OBU mandatory for Singapore-registered vehicles Required to travel on public roads Singapore-registered motor vehicles 1 Jan 2027

Having an OBU in 2026 does not mean every kilometre is priced. Sources: OneMotoring ERP 2.0 and LTA Feb 2026 RTA amendments, accessed 9 August 2026.
