#Three-strike policy

According to Autoindustriya, the said policy was announced in February. The Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) approved to implement a three-strike policy in which repeat offenders/violators by RFID subscribers without load or insufficient load or by motorists without RFID tags entering RFID-only designated lanes shall be penalized. In February, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) also mandates toll operators to comply with minimum performance standards before enforcing RFID's three-strike policy. Moreover, the DOTr, through the TRB, has assured that the three-strike policy in cashless tollway lanes will take effect only after toll operators are adequately prepared in terms of RFID implementation. Meanwhile, MotoPinas.com has spotted the signage at one of the toll plazas at the Muntinlupa-Cavite Expressway (MCX) indicating the said policy to be implemented starting May 15. According to TRB spokesperson Julius Corpuz, the TRB has informed toll operators that implementation of the three-strike policy will take effect starting May 15. Autoindustriya also noted that all expressways will implement the said policy. The idea of a Fair Use Policy is nothing new and has been enforced, albeit discreetly, by telcos on a case to case basis.
