A RESOLUTION REQUESTING TOLL MANAGEMENT CORPORATION THE OPERATOR OF THE SUBIC FREEPORT EXPRESSWAY TO CONSIDER PROVIDING FREE U-TURN ACCESS AFTER SCTEX TOLL GATE FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF OLONGAPO MOTORISTS AND TOURISTS

WHEREAS, owners of Olongapo motor vehicles and visitors exiting from the Subic Clark Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) pass and enter thru the toll gate of the Subic Freeport Expressway (SFEX)

WHEREAS, the aforesaid owners and visitors bound for Cabalan and West Bajac Bajac takes a much longer route via Subic Freeport Expressway instead of Tipo,Hermosa, Bataan via Zig-Zag Road, Olongapo City

WHEREAS, these vehicles after exiting SCTEX have to enter the SFEX toll gate and pay the minimum toll fee of P18.00 and make a U-Turn and pay another P18.00 toll which adds to their economic hardship considering the rising cost of living and increasing prices of fuel and maintenance;

WHEREAS, the Toll Management Corporation the operator of the SFEX in coordination with the SCTEX could consider and study the viability of providing a U-Turn access either thru a ramp or an opening in which Olongapo bound vehicles could safely turn about and use the SFEX portion exit along Tipo, Hermosa, Bataan via Zig-Zag Road, Olongapo City.

NOW, THEREFORE, on motion of Councilors Aquilino Cortez, Jr. and Anselmo A. Aquino, with the unanimous accord of the Members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod present,

RESOLVED, AS IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, by the Sangguniang Panlungsod in session assembled to request as it hereby requests Toll Management Corporation the operator of the Subic Freeport Expressway to consider providing free u-turn access after SCTEX Toll Gate for the convenience of olongapo motorists and tourists.
