SACCI support for e-tolls
#1
The South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) has welcomed the South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s (SACCI) support for e-tolling in Gauteng, which will go live on 3 December.

This comes after CEO of SACCI, Neren Rau, urged his members to comply with e-tolling.

Sanral spokesperson Vusi Mona said: “As with the Gauteng highways, big business is a vital part of the economy of not only this province but of the country.

“It is therefore a significant endorsement to have its backing”.

SACCI has in 2010 expressed concern at the cost to business of traffic congestion caused by poor maintenance of infrastructure.

The Chamber said: “Based on estimates of 90 000 vehicles travelling between Pretoria and Johannesburg between 06:30am and 08:30am on weekdays, with one person per vehicle and an average of R170 per hour, SACCI conservatively estimates that the cost to the economy is R15 million per hour”.

Sanral offers a number of services for businesses with regards to e-tolling which includes:

Bulk Registration Service

The service offers groups of people (in excess of 50) a service whereby registration is facilitated at a venue of their choice. This service is ideal for a company that has staff members that are Gauteng e-road users.

Fleet Registration

A Fleet Registration Service is offered to a company that has a fleet of vehicles. A variety of services are offered to facilitate the obtaining and registration of e-tags:

· Road user education by means of presentation.
· Convenient registration process.
· Access to an interface for account registration and maintenance.
· E-tag issuing and distribution.
· A dedicated support team which operates between 6am and 10pm, 7 days week.

If a company’s fleet is managed by a fleet management service provider, a company can contact its fleet manager to enquire about the e-toll services offered.

“Sanral wishes to make the registration process as convenient as possible for businesses to ensure maximum compliance in Gauteng,” said Mona. - SAnews.gov.za
