(Chinhphu.vn) - Vehicles transporting goods to support victims of storms No. 10 and No. 11 will be exempt from road service fees on all five expressways invested and operated by the Vietnam Expressway Corporation (VEC).

Toll station on Cau Gie - Ninh Binh highway

Immediately after the Vietnam Road Administration ( Ministry of Construction ) issued a document requesting investors and BOT enterprises to exempt road use fees for vehicles transporting relief goods when passing through toll stations, the Vietnam Expressway Corporation (VEC) sent a document to toll collection service providers to respond to the implementation.

Toll-free for relief vehicles passing through 5 highways

Accordingly, VEC will exempt road service fees for vehicles transporting goods to support damage caused by storms No. 10 and No. 11 when passing through toll stations of 5 expressways currently in operation invested by VEC, including: Cau Gie - Ninh Binh, Noi Bai - Lao Cai, Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay; Da Nang - Quang Ngai; Ben Luc - Long Thanh.

The free service is valid from 6pm on October 8th until further notice.

To implement the above plan, VEC requests toll collection service providers (Tasco, VDTC) to organize toll collection to ensure accuracy, correct subjects, and compliance with regulations, and absolutely not to allow cases of taking advantage of the free policy to commit fraud, profiteering, or causing loss of toll revenue.

Service providers are also requested to coordinate with the Expressway Operation Technical Monitoring Center (VECM), the Regional Road Management Area and relevant local agencies to organize lane division, traffic flow and traffic guidance so that vehicles eligible for free can pass through toll stations as quickly as possible. All toll collection stops and free vehicles must be recorded by the toll collection unit and have their toll collection records and data fully archived according to regulations.

Previously, sending a document to investors and BOT enterprises, the Vietnam Road Administration said that the policy of exempting road use fees for vehicles transporting relief goods is to implement the Prime Minister's Official Dispatch No. 176 dated September 29, 2025 on urgently overcoming the consequences of storm No. 10 and floods. This is also an action demonstrating the spirit of "mutual love and support", "helping each other", contributing to helping people stabilize their lives and restore production soon.
