The announcement of an e-toll panel to review the implementation of GFIP e-Tolls by the Gauteng premier has been welcomed by the Southern African Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (SAVRALA).

According to the association its members complied with the 3 December implementation of e-Tolling last year.  The industry has had to spend millions of Rands to integrate the necessary e-Toll and e-Tag systems so that its customers could be billed.

Notwithstanding these investments and ongoing daily e-Toll administrative costs, SAVRALA would welcome an opportunity to participate on an e-Toll panel, as proposed by the Premier with a view to help find an agreeable, sustainable and efficient solution to fund much needed infrastructural upgrades while also noting the need to continue developing an integrated, reliable and efficient public transport system in Gauteng.
