NSW motorists will save up to $750 a year on tolls with the new Toll Rebate Scheme coming into effect from today.
\u00a0
Treasurer Matt Kean said the new toll relief package will ease cost of living pressures by putting money back in the pockets of families and eligible small businesses especially in western, northwestern and southwestern Sydney.
\u00a0
\u201cWe are a Government that wants travelling on the State\u2019s roads to be quicker and easier, as well as more affordable which is what this toll relief will provide,\u201d Mr Kean said.
\u00a0
\u201cFor the first time, pensioners will be eligible for toll relief and the rebates will be paid quarterly to help ease cost of living pressures.\u201d
\u00a0
Under this new scheme drivers will receive a 40 per cent rebate for tolls incurred once they spend $375 annually with the maximum benefit for each customer being $750.
\u00a0
Around 500,000 NSW motorists are expected to benefit from this new measure, which is more than double the number of road users receiving toll relief currently.
\u00a0
Minister for Metropolitan Roads Natalie Ward said this two-year scheme would support families and small businesses and help make regular use of toll roads more affordable while the Government reviews options to deliver a fair and equitable toll pricing system.
\u00a0
\u201cSydney\u2019s state-of-the-art motorway network slashes travel times, eases congestion and creates safer and more reliable trips. We want motorists to get home to their loved ones faster, which our Motorways deliver,\u201d Mrs Ward said.
\u00a0
\u201cThis Toll relief is across all toll roads, which means more money, in the pockets of more motorists, more often.\u201d
\u00a0
Road users will still be able to access a rebate on their registration renewal up until 30 June 2023 for tolls incurred between 1 July 2021 and 30 June 2022.
\u00a0
For tolls incurred from 1 July 2022, customers will benefit from the new Toll Rebate Scheme and will receive their first rebate payment in early 2023, followed by quarterly payments thereafter.
