After the cancellation of high-speed provincial toll stations, the toll of trucks in some places was abnormally high, and the official response came …

　　CCTV News:In view of the phenomenon that truck tolls are abnormally high in some places after the cancellation of provincial toll stations on expressways, yesterday (3rd), the Ministry of Transport responded that some anomalies have occurred due to the unstable operation of the networked toll collection system, and local authorities have been urged to find out the situation and deal with it in time, and all localities are never allowed to take the opportunity to raise the toll standards and increase the burden on trucks.

　　Gu Zhifeng, Director of Road Network Management Department of Highway Bureau of Ministry of Transport:Some abnormal toll fees have appeared, and the local authorities have been urged to find out the situation and deal with it in a timely and proper manner in line with the principle of giving priority to traffic and not letting truck drivers suffer losses. If it is difficult to deal with it quickly, first lift the pole and let the vehicle go first, and then deal with it after verification. The tolls overcharged by mistake have been required to be fully refunded by all localities.

　　According to the new charging rules, after freight cars are charged by car (axle) instead of by weight, the local charging standards are based on the total weight of freight cars weighted by mileage, and the Ministry of Transport requires to realize "two guarantees": First, to ensure that the overall burden of freight car tolls does not increase; The second is to ensure that the toll payable for the same toll model in the standard state is not greater than the toll when charging by weight.

　　Gu Zhifeng, Director of Road Network Management Department of Highway Bureau of Ministry of Transport:After the reform, the freight charges with high actual load rate are obviously lower than before, but they may increase slightly under no-load or half-load conditions. We are urging all localities to strictly implement it and realize that the charging standard for trucks is at least 10% lower than the full load.

　　At present, the Ministry of Transport has also set up a technical support team to study the possible problems after the "withdrawal of the station" to ensure that the problems are solved in time and all vehicles can pass quickly.
