487 provincial toll stations in 29 provinces connected to the Internet were cancelled Monday, and the task of canceling provincial toll stations for expressways was basically completed. How to collect toll after "station withdrawal"? How to deal with overload? Can vehicles without etc on-board devices enjoy preferential toll policies? Wu Dejin, director of the Highway Bureau of the Ministry of transport, responded to this on Monday. How about the toll? Will it come down? After the "station withdrawal", the original provincial operation mode will be changed into the unified operation of the whole national expressway network. Wu Dejin said that etc vehicles continue to use etc special channels and realize fast charging without stopping at entrance and exit toll stations. The manual toll collection vehicle receives the CPC pass card with path recording function at the entrance toll station, returns it at the exit toll station, and pays the full toll at one time. Wu Dejin said that the amount of tolls that should be paid for vehicles passing the expressway is calculated by multiplying the actual mileage by the corresponding toll standards of different vehicles. For vehicles complying with the relevant preferential policies, the corresponding preferential amount will be deducted when charging. "The charging amount of vehicles passing through a single etc gantry shall be calculated according to the mileage and charging standard under its jurisdiction, and rounded to" points "according to the" rounding "rule. After the vehicle finishes driving on the expressway, the toll amount to be paid is the sum of the toll amount calculated through the etc gantry. " Wu Dejin said. Will the adjustment of charging method lead to the increase of toll? "As there is no change in the toll standard for passenger cars, the toll that should be paid in theory will not change. In this reform, the toll models of 8-seat and 9-seat minibuses with a length of less than 6 meters will be adjusted from category II to category I, and the toll payable will be greatly reduced. " Wu Dejin said, however, because the new Internet charging system is based on the actual path of vehicle traffic, compared with the original charging based on the shortest path, the amount of toll payable for a small number of vehicles may change, which is also in line with the principle of fair payment according to law. From January 1, 2020, the truck charging method will be adjusted from the weight charging to the vehicle (axle) charging. Wu Dejin said that the Ministry of transport, together with relevant departments, has issued a notice to urge and guide local governments to calculate toll rates on the basis of the total mass of vehicles and goods weighted by mileage in 2018, so as to ensure that the overall burden of freight vehicle toll is not increased, and that the payable toll amount of the same toll vehicle in the standard loading state is not greater than the toll amount when the toll is calculated. Wu Dejin said that at present, the charging level of standard loading trucks and trucks close to the standard loading trucks in different regions is lower than in the past. For no-load vehicles, the fee may increase. It is suggested that relevant enterprises strengthen the transportation organization, and enjoy the policy dividend adjusted by the billing method by increasing the real load rate. According to the work plan of canceling the provincial toll station of expressway, the National Expressway implemented the entrance weighing test without stopping from December 16, 2019. Wu Dejin said that taking advantage of the characteristics of expressway that can control access and closed management and implement entrance weighing can effectively prevent illegal and overloaded vehicles from entering the expressway. How to identify truck overload at the entrance of Expressway? "After the non-stop weighing test is carried out at the entrance of the expressway, the weighing test data will be interconnected with the toll card issuing system of the expressway. If it is confirmed that the vehicle is legal, the toll system will automatically lift the pole for release; if it is confirmed that the vehicle is illegal and overloaded, the toll system will prohibit the sending and lifting of the pole and refuse to drive into the expressway." Wu Dejin said. Wu Dejin said that there are two forms of entrance weighing, one is that the weighing platform is set on the entrance lane of the toll station, and the other is set at the Plaza of the toll station or the ramp of the expressway. If the weighing platform is set in the entrance lane of the toll station, there is a lane indicator sign to guide when entering the toll plaza. The truck shall drive on the right side, enter the weighing lane, and accept the non-stop detection. If the weighing platform is set at the toll plaza or the ramp of the expressway, there is Lane indication sign before entering the weighing lane. The truck needs to actively enter the weighing platform and accept the non-stop detection. "After testing, if it is not overweight, continue to drive and enter the expressway; if it is overweight, it is strictly forbidden to enter the expressway and return according to the route instructed and arranged by the staff." Wu Dejin said. According to the notice of the Ministry of transport of the national development and Reform Commission on printing and distributing the implementation plan for accelerating the application of electronic non parking toll collection service of expressway, from January 1, 2020, unless otherwise specified by the State Council, all kinds of preferential policies such as toll reduction and exemption are realized by relying on the ETC system, Wu Dejin said. "Considering that transport enterprises and truck owners still need to gradually adapt to the reserved mode of passage, a half year transition period has been set for vehicles transporting fresh agricultural products and cross regional operation combine harvesters (including transplanters). Before June 30, 2020, these transport vehicles, which are not equipped with etc on-board devices, can also be exempted from vehicle tolls if they meet the conditions after inspection by the export toll station. " Wu Dejin said. Wu Dejin said that provinces that have introduced preferential policies for international standard container transport vehicle tolls can formulate transitional policies in light of the actual situation in the region. After the end of the transition period, vehicles transporting fresh agricultural products, cross regional operation combine harvesters (including transplanters) and international standard containers will enjoy the preferential policy of toll by installing etc vehicle mounted devices and booking for passage. How to make a reservation? Wu Dejin said that the road network center of the Ministry of transport has established a nationwide unified booking service platform. The driver or agent entrusted by the driver of the transport vehicle of the combine harvester (including the transplanter) for fresh agricultural products and cross regional operations can make an online reservation through the "China etc service applet" four hours before the vehicle enters the expressway, or reserve a traffic registration in the designated lane at the entrance of the toll station. "If there is no network reservation or lane traffic registration, the fees have been calculated (charged) according to the normal vehicles in etc gantry system, and the fees can be refunded according to the special business if they pass the inspection. The driver of the vehicle or his / her entrusted agent can apply for refund through the "China etc service applet" with the check code. " Wu Dejin said.
