The Uttarakhand government has introduced a new FASTag concession scheme, offering reduced toll rates to residents living within a specified radius of toll plazas.
The Uttarakhand government has rolled out a new FASTag concession scheme aimed at residents living in close proximity to toll plazas. This initiative is part of the state's push to streamline toll payments and reduce congestion on highways.
Under the scheme, eligible residents can benefit from reduced toll rates when using their FASTag. The concession is available to those who reside within a specified distance from the toll plaza, though the exact radius has not been publicly disclosed.
Applicants can apply for the concession through the existing FASTag registration process managed by the Uttarakhand transport department. The process involves submitting proof of residence and linking the FASTag to the resident's account.
The government expects the concession to ease travel costs for local commuters and encourage the adoption of electronic toll collection across the state. Officials say the scheme will also help in reducing traffic bottlenecks at toll plazas.
Residents interested in availing the concession are advised to visit the official Uttarakhand transport website or contact the nearest toll plaza for further instructions.
