The\u00a0Zimbabwe National Road Administration (Zinara) will begin rolling out e-tolling before the end of the year to improve efficiency, motorists\u2019 convenience and reduce operational costs.<\/p>\n

E-tolling is a cashless system that allows road users to make payments for road use with card facilities or e-tags at toll gates, with payments being made without vehicles having to stop.<\/p>\n

The process does not require physical toll booths on the highways and the first pilot project is expected to run before the end of June this year.<\/p>\n

Plans are also afoot to upgrade three tollgates to toll plazas as the Second Republic moves to ease congestion and boost revenue collection.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Giving an update on disbursement of funds in Harare yesterday, Zinara board chairman Dr George Manyaya said preparations for the roll out of e-tolling had moved a gear up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe recent coming into effect of SI 5 of 2023 which allows Zinara to upgrade and maintain tolling infrastructure as well as the environs is highly appreciated as it empowers the administration to effectively create a conducive business environment for its operations and now you can probe Zinara if you see potholes at tollgates.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tender for e-tolling closed this month. This will see us rolling out e-tolling before year end and this modernisation effort will streamline toll collection, reduce waiting times and provide a more convenient and seamless experience for motorists.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is highly appreciated as it empowers the administration to effectively create a conducive business environment for its operations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For the year ended December 31, 2023, Zinara collected $868 billion against a revised budget of $768 billion.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we continue to fund these key road projects, I urge our esteemed councils or rather road authorities to uphold the highest standards of quality,\u201d Dr Manyaya said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe works we deliver must be durable, reflecting the trust and investment of the Zimbabwean people. As you may be aware, the country suffered a significant road infrastructure maintenance gap which, as the new Zinara board, we are working flat out to ensure that we recover from in the not-so-distant future.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are therefore cognisant that the money that we collect and disburse for the core purposes of road maintenance may not be adequate for the job at hand.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
