MPT South gears up for Barangay Elections, All Saints’ Day 2023 traffic

The Metro Pacific Tollways South (MPT South) has already created its traffic mitigation plans in anticipation of the surge in motorists for the upcoming 2023 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections as well as the observance of All Saints and All Souls' Days.

With that, the toll operator has reactivated the Safe Trip Mo, Sagot Ko" (SMSK) motorist assistance program that will be conducted at 6 a.m. tomorrow (October 27) till Sunday (October 29), 6 a.m.; October 31 at 6 a.m. to November 2 at 6 a.m.; and November 4 at 6 a.m. to November 6 at 6 a.m..

MPT South’s program will cover the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX), Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) and CAVITEX C5 Link.

"MPT South toll roads are fully prepared to serve the expected traffic surge across our toll road networks as we approach these consecutive holidays. With CAVITEX C5 Link and CALAX implementing 100-percent RFID dry run, we urge our motorists to have an RFID installed and ensure it has sufficient load for a more seamless passage at our toll roads. Motorists may plan their trips through MPT DriveHub app which provides traffic update, toll fee calculator, reloading facility, and even emergency roadside assistance” MPT South President and General Manager Raul Ignacio said.

The activation will include the deployment of additional personnel for on-ground tasks such as patrolmen, security personnel, ambulant tellers and RFID assistants.

MPT South will also offer free towing for Class 1 vehicles (up to the nearest exit only) and emergency medical services.

The company’s official Facebook accounts and the round-the-clock hotline 1-35000 shall remain readily available to cater to customer requirements.

In addition, the MPT DriveHub app will provide traffic updates and seamless access to RFID transactions, reloading, trip planning, and emergency roadside assistance.

To note, MPT South is under the Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation, which is the toll road development arm of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC). Aside from the CALAX and CAVITEX MPTC also operates North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), the NLEX Connector Road, the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) and the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) in Cebu.
