NEXCO EAST, NEXCO CENTRAL, and NEXCO WEST have announced their review policy for late-night discounts on Expressway in the "Review of late-night discounts on Expressway" (announced by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and Expressway companies on January 20, 2023), and have been seeking opinions from the public in the "Request for opinions on the 'Draft measures to deter reckless driving in the review of late-night discounts on Expressway'" (announced by Expressway companies on November 7, 2023). They have also been coordinating with the national government and other relevant agencies.
Going forward, we will make the necessary preparations and submit an application to the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism pursuant to Article 3 of the Road Construction Special Measures Act. After receiving business permission, we plan to start operations around 2024 (※). However, prior to this, we will provide advance notice of how the discount amount will be calculated, etc.
This review is based on issues such as vehicles being stuck waiting to apply the current late-night discount, and will provide discounts on tolls for travel during discount hours and Large the hours during which discounts apply in order to reduce the burden on truck drivers.
In addition, as part of this review, the late-night discount will be changed to a discount system in which points will be credited back to the "ETC Mileage Service" or "ETC Corporate Card" at a later date.
The Expressway company will continue to work towards a smooth start of operations.
