RELEVANT STATISTICS
70% of the toll roads in the USA use ETC
ETC reduced fuel consumption by 1.2m
gallons/year in New Jersey (E-Z Pass)
ETC systems can process 1000 vehicles/hour
ETC (E-Z Pass)caused a total annual saving of
$25.1m in 2000 in New Jersey
South Africa is building an ultra-modern ETC
to do 2m tolls/day and generate $500m/year
Implemented in Germany, Italy, Spain, South
Africa, UK, Singapore, Korea, Jamaica etc

LAGOS scenario
Conservatively, 70% of Coys in Nigeria have their H/Q in
Lagos. Office expansion (more cars), staff buying cars
Lagos having more water bodies than land for roads (roads
more expensive to build),
an estimated 80% of the private cars are not fully utilized,
(wasted space-more traffic, wasted man hours, wasted fuel,
wasted time, economic loss because of wear and tear on the
individual and cars;
there is a need to indirectly discourage people from using cars
when there are alternatives
If not, checked, we may experience traffic right inside our
Compounds all the way down to the offices.

Korea scenario
Automobile ownership in Korea increased from just over 2
million in 1988 to over 11 million in 1999 resulting in 40%
annual increase.
During the same time, the capacity of road expansion resulted
in an annual average increase of 3% in highways, and close to
5% on the national roads.
The above growth imbalance between road capacity and
automobile increases resulted in severe traffic congestion on
major highways in Korea
45% of National Highways have experienced heavy congestion
28% of the National roads in a similar situation
Cost the Korean economy $13B in 1998 and further $1.5B
annually
Introduced the Hi Pass toll collection system

Comments and Recommendations
KRV; Looking at smaller projects for a start., e.g.
Abuja and Lagos Airport. Also to work on Identity
management and payment for a start.
Since our aim is fee collection, payment could be tied
to either drivers license or vehicle license.
SOW; SuperCard already working on fare collection
with the use of card.
FE; Existence of too many influence groups might
slow down the project, so we should focus on the
basics (money collection)

Comments and Recommendations
CU; the Value Proposition in this project is the
security provided through Vehicle Identification,
reducing car theft.
Obinna; Introducing an incentive such that those
who pay with card would spend less than those who
pay with cash.
Peter; Congestion pricing- reduction in cost during
off-peak hours.
ABA; to begin the project with a comprehensive
approach.
