Policy for adding 1000 yen to the Tokyo Metropolitan Highway Charge Tokyo Metropolitan Olympics and Para period, August 27, 14:43
As a measure against traffic congestion at the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, the Organizing Committee of the Games and the Tokyo Metropolitan Area will travel from 6 am to 10 pm mainly for private cars on the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway section during the Games. We decided on a policy to increase the fee by 1000 yen and decided to proceed with the necessary procedures.
On the 27th, an organizing committee meeting, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and related local governments held a meeting to discuss measures to prevent traffic congestion at the Tokyo Games, and explained measures proposed on the Metropolitan Expressway during the Games.
In this section, we will add 1,000 yen tolls from 6 am to 10 pm mainly for private cars, and exclude public transport, logistics vehicles, welfare vehicles, etc. .
On the other hand, in order to disperse traffic during the day, from 0 am to 4 am, the tolls for all vehicles equipped with ETC are halved on all lines of the Metropolitan Expressway.
The period is scheduled to be 35 days from July 20 to August 10 next year, including before and after the Olympic period, and from August 25 to September 6 during the Paralympic period.
At the meeting on the 27th, the policy to implement this measure was decided, and the city will solicit opinions widely from the 27th to the 26th of next month.
In addition, in order to revise the toll, a decision by the parliament is required in the local government where the Metropolitan Expressway passes, and the necessary procedures will be advanced in the future.
