Motorists traversing the Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) will pay higher fees beginning Tuesday, Oct. 28, following the government’s approval of hike petitions filed in 2020 and 2023.
Under the new toll matrix, motorists with Class 1 vehicles will pay an additional ₱4 for CAVITEX’s R1 portion, which spans Seaside to Zapote. Those with Class 2 vehicles will pay an extra ₱8, while ₱13 for Class 3.
Due to the increase, the toll rate at CAVITEX C5 Link Segment 2 or Sucat Interchange will also be adjusted to ₱38 for Class 1, ₱76 for Class 2, and ₱114 for Class 3.
Meanwhile, the rate adjustment for the expressway’s R1 Extension Segment 4, which covers Zapote to Kawit, will be implemented in two tranches to moderate the impact on motorists.
For the first tranche, Class 1 vehicles will pay an additional ₱15, Class 2 vehicles will pay ₱ 30, and Class 3 vehicles will pay ₱ 45. The second tranche for this segment will be implemented next year.
CAVITEX said these toll adjustments are in accordance with the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB), which approved the hike petitions by joint venture partners CAVITEX Infrastructure Corp. (CIC) and Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA).
“We appreciate the government’s affirmation to honor its contractual obligations with the private investors and toll operators,” it said in a statement.
CIC and PRA, through its subsidiary Public Estate Authority Tollways Corp. (PEATC), oversee the operation and maintenance of CAVITEX.
PEATC’s agreement with CIC includes a 10 percent share of the profits from CAVITEX.
CAVITEX said the toll adjustment will support ongoing upgrades and maintenance activities along the 14-kilometer expressway.
CIC and PRA have completed major infrastructure upgrades to ensure the safety and efficiency of CAVITEX, including the replacement of expansion joints, upgrades to radio-frequency identification (RFID) systems, and the installation of automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) technology.
Apart from this, CAVITEX is undergoing pavement rehabilitation works in critical portions of both the Kawit and Parañaque segments.
“CIC and PRA reaffirm their commitment to deliver safe, reliable, and efficient expressways that support economic growth and regional connectivity,” the statement read.
To help ease the impact of the toll adjustment, CAVITEX will launch a toll reprieve initiative that allows registered public utility vehicles (PUVs) and agricultural trucks to continue paying the old toll rates for 90 days from the date of implementation.
“While the rate adjustments are necessary to ensure continued maintenance, safety, and improvement of the expressway, we also recognize the need to support sectors most affected by rising transport costs,” it said.
The toll reprieve initiative, according to CAVITEX, seeks to strike a fair balance between infrastructure sustainability and public welfare.
