Drove past an ERP gantry without reinserting your Cashcard into the IU?

From 1 October 2024, there won't be any need to fret. Motorists who miss an ERP payment will receive an SMS notification from the LTA. They will then be given a five-day grace period from the date the SMS is sent to pay the missed ERP charge. No administrative fee will be levied to settle the outstanding ERP payment if it is settled during this grace period.

And only if the missed ERP payment is not made during this grace period, will the LTA then issue a letter to the motorist, who will now incur the $10 administrative fee. Following which, failure to settle the outstanding ERP payment and administrative charge after the LTA has issued a second notification letter will result in a $70 fine for the motorist. 

Motorists are currently required to pay a $10 administrative fee if they miss an ERP payment, although this fee is reduced to $8 if payment is done online.

Motorists will also eventually be able to view any arrears they have incurred all via the OBU display, and will be able to make payments through it, although this feature is currently only set for roll-out come mid-2025.

All motorists are reminded to keep their Singapore-registered mobile number updated on the Singpass website to ensure that they can receive the SMS from LTA.
