NEXCO EAST Niigata Regional Head Office (Chuo-ku, Niigata City) will be trialling a new toll discount "Commuter Pass" for ETC vehicles only on some sections of Expressway in Niigata Prefecture starting Monday, April 1, 2020. Masu.

　「通勤パス」は、多様化する勤務形態への対応と、通勤時間の混雑を避けて他の時間帯へシフトすることによる高速道路内の交通分散を目的に、事前申し込みの車種・指定区間内で、曜日・時間帯にかかわらず1日3回まで利用できる、割引適用時間の制限を撤廃した新たな料金割引です。

　令和6年3月1日（金）14時から先着順で各月500名のモニターを募集し、令和6年4月から12カ月間、指定区間のご利用月に応じた通勤パスを社会実験として販売します。
　また、今後、試行結果を検証し、平日朝夕割引の見直しを検討してまいります。

　各指定区間の通勤パス販売価格、申込方法等の詳細は、次ページ以降をご確認ください。
