Metro Pacific Tollways South (MPT South),
a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation
(MPTC), is gearing up
for the expected surge in
motorists during the 2023
Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections
and the observance of All
Saints and All Souls’ Days.
The toll road operator is fully prepared
to assist Undas travelers
through reactivation of its
“Safe Trip Mo, Sagot Ko”
(SMSK) motorist assistance program during the
following period: 6 AM of
October 27, 2023, to 6 AM
of October 29, 2023; 6 AM
of October 31, 2023, to 6
AM of November 2, 2023;
and 6 AM of November 4,
2023, to 6 AM of November 6, 2023. This program
covers MPT South’s highspeed road networks, including the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX),
and in partnership with
the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA) and
its operating subsidiary
PEA Tollway Corporation (PEATC) for the Manila-Cavite Expressway
(CAVITEX) and CAVITEX
C5 Link.
“MPT South toll
roads are fully prepared to
serve the expected traffic
surge across our toll road
networks as we approach
these consecutive holidays. With CAVITEX C5
Link and CALAX implementing 100% RFID dry
run, we urge our motorists
to have an RFID installed
and ensure it has sufficient
load for a more seamless
passage at our toll roads.
Motorists may plan their
trips, through MPT DriveHub app which provides
traffic update, toll fee calculator, reloading facility, and even emergency
roadside assistance” said
MPT South President and
General Manager, Mr.
Raul L. Ignacio.
The SMSK program provides a comprehensive range of services
to ensure smooth travel during the holidays.
This includes deploying
additional personnel for
on-ground tasks such as
traffic management which
includes patrolmen, security personnel, and toll
collection which includes
ambulant tellers for cash
lanes and RFID assistants for RFID lanes. RFID
installers will be readily
available to address any
RFID-related requirements, particularly for toll
plazas that are part of the
100% RFID dry-run (CAVITEX C5 Link and CALAX).
Also, under the
SMSK program also
incident response teams
will be deployed strategically, ensuring they are
always available and prepared to assist motorists in
need.
