 Far Eastern Electronic Toll Collection, in collaboration with its subsidiary Far Eastern Smart uTagGo, continues to extend the convenience service of "eTag parking deduction" to roads in Hualien, Taitung, and all counties and cities in Taiwan, allowing people who do not frequently travel on national highways to experience the convenience and carbon reduction benefits of eTag. The latest data shows that the transaction volume of eTag parking deduction in Hualien has officially exceeded 570000, ranking first in cumulative environmental benefits in eastern Taiwan. In order to encourage the public to respond to parking and reduce carbon emissions, the "365 day free roadside parking" campaign will be extended until the end of 2025. "eTag parking members" can receive one chance to win a lottery by logging in and using eTag to automatically deduct roadside parking fees once (with no limit on the number of times). From August to December, one lucky car owner will be selected each month to enjoy free roadside parking throughout the year. In addition, starting from September 8th, eTag parking members can enjoy an additional 20% discount when parking on paperless sections of Taichung City's smart parking system. You used it right, 365 days of free roadside parking!

Senior Vice President Xu Yaoxun of Far Eastern Electronic Toll Collection Extension Business Office stated that in recent years, various counties and cities in Taiwan have actively promoted smart parking and paperless policies, and the "eTag Parking Withholding" can provide substantial assistance. Taking Hualien City as an example, since the introduction of services in March 2023, a total of 570000 transactions have been completed, the highest in eastern Taiwan, followed by 440000 in Yilan and 420000 in Taitung, with a total of 1.43 million transactions in the three counties and cities. Calculated based on a carbon reduction of 320.4 grams per parking, the cumulative carbon reduction is equivalent to the annual carbon absorption of over 2.2 million trees, with significant environmental benefits.
The government of Hualien County pointed out that promoting smart transportation is the key strategy to achieve sustainability development. In recent years, the county government has continued to use technology to optimize transportation construction, improve parking convenience, and strive to create a happy and livable smart city. At present, 201 smart parking pillars have been installed in the three demonstration areas of Zhongshan Road, Ziyou Street, and Nanbin Road in Hualien City, and 1429 geomagnetic parking spaces will be added in May 2025, bringing the total number of smart parking spaces to 1630.
The county government suggests that the public can choose a single payment method for parking on the same day, and encourages the application of eTag automatic withholding to avoid forgetting or overdue payments. Smart car grid combined with eTag parking deduction only requires one setting, and subsequent parking fees can be automatically deducted. Car owners do not need to scan codes, operate apps, or print payment receipts at supermarkets, achieving both smart convenience and carbon reduction.
Far Eastern Electronic Toll Collection reminds the public to apply for "eTag automatic stored value" and join "eTag parking membership" to prevent fraud. Not only can you enjoy a 10% discount on tolls, but it can also solve the problem of overdue tolls and parking fees. If you receive overdue text messages or emails without a car number attached, please delete them immediately to prevent being deceived.
