Regarding late-night discounts on Expressway, a 30% discount is being implemented for vehicles using ETC on Expressway between midnight and 4am, with the aim of improving the roadside environment on parallel general roads. In the Interim Report of the National Trunk Road Subcommittee of the Road Subcommittee of the Council for Social Capital Development (dated August 4, 2021) (hereinafter referred to as the "Interim Report"), it was stated that in light of issues such as vehicles being stuck waiting for the late-night discount to be applied, it is necessary to consider applying discounts to the tolls for travel during the hours when the discount applies, and to Large the hours when the discount applies in order to reduce the burden on truck drivers, etc.
Based on the interim report, East Nippon Expressway Co., Ltd., Central Nippon Expressway Company Limited, and West Expressway Company Limited have considered revising the late-night discount together with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and have decided to limit the discount to 30% only for travel during the discounted hours, and to Large the discounted hours from the current "midnight to 4am" to "10pm to 5am the following morning." These plans are scheduled to be reviewed during 2024, and the specific start date for the revised discount will be announced at a later date.

Summary of review

• 30% discount only for driving during late-night discount application time
• Late-night discount application time zone Large from 22:00 to 5:00 the next day
• Along with the review of the late-night discount, the long-distance gradual reduction system over 400km will be expanded.

Measures to mitigate drastic change after the start of discount review operation (about 5 years)

• If you drive more than 1,000km of a late-night discount-applied vehicle, the portion exceeding 1,000km will be added to the discounted mileage.
• For vehicles that run off the Expressway between 22:00 and run between 22:00, the late-night discount rate will be 20%.

• 今回の見直しに際して、深夜割引を「ETCマイレージサービス」または「ETCコーポレートカード」への後日還元型による割引制度に変更します。（長距離逓減制の拡充は除く）
• At the time of this review, in order to grasp the amount of driving during the discount application time zone, it is necessary to install an antenna dedicated to ETC wireless communication on the Expressway and to modify the system. It may affect the time of introduction.
