To further ease the flow of traffic during the holiday season, roadwork and lane closures will be suspended from 6am of December 19 to 12pm of January 5, 2026. Additional toll and traffic support personnel, along with emergency response teams, will also be deployed during this time.
MPTC is also urging motorists to enroll in the One RFID, All Tollways program, which will allow them to unify their RFID accounts under the provider of their choice. The program aims to simplify account management by having users only utilize one RFID wallet.
The MPTDriveHub app is also available for motorists who need to top up their Easytrip RFID accounts. The online platform can also be used to call for emergency services and roadside assistance. Traffic updates and notifications are likewise fed through the MPTDriveHub app.
