Update on Implementation of ERP 2.0 and Plans to Ensure Transparency and Data Privacy for Users

53 Mr Lee Hong Chuang asked the Acting Minister for Transport (a) whether the Ministry can provide an update on the implementation of ERP 2.0, including its expected benefits to motorists and transport planning; and (b) how does the Ministry plan to ensure transparency and data privacy for users of the new system.

Mr Jeffrey Siow: As of 23 September 2025, today, more than 750,000 or 75% of vehicles have installed Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) 2.0 On-Board Units (OBUs). We are on track to complete the installation by 2026.

We have been taking in feedback from vehicle owners and industry to improve the OBU’s features. The OBU provides real-time traffic updates, such as event-based road closures and diversions, for example, flood warnings, and situational alerts, for example, bus lanes and school zones, to enhance safety on roads for drivers and pedestrians. It also provides information like estimated travel time along expressways and carpark availability in the city area. Since 1 September 2025, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) introduced a new feature for motorists to conveniently pay any missed ERP payment via the OBU.

There are strict safeguards to govern the collection, usage and storage of data. For instance, LTA will use anonymised or aggregated data for traffic management and transport planning purposes. LTA also adheres to Government-wide standards for data security, including strict guidelines on data sharing with other Government agencies.
