Off-Peak Car Scheme (OPC)

The Weekend Car (WEC), Off-Peak Car (OPC) and Revised Off-Peak Car (ROPC) schemes were introduced to reduce peak hour traffic. Cars under these schemes enjoy cost savings for reduced usage.

At a glance

Understanding off-peak car schemes

There are 3 types of off-peak car schemes — Weekend Car (WEC), Off-Peak Car (OPC), and Revised Off-Peak Car (ROPC).

The main difference between the three schemes is the restriction on usage hours.

Check which scheme your car is under by logging in with your Singpass.

Restricted hours

Cars under the WEC/ OPC/ ROPC schemes cannot be used during the following hours. To use your WEC/ OPC/ ROPC during restricted hours, you must buy an electronic Day (e-Day) Licence and indicate a usage date. 

Restrictions on the eve of public holidays in 2024:

Driving a car during restricted hours

To drive your WEC/ OPC/ ROPC during restricted hours within a day, you will need to buy an e-Day Licence for $20 and indicate a usage date.

Buying an e-Day Licence

To drive your WEC/ OPC/ ROPC during the restricted hours, you will need to buy an e-Day Licence and indicate a usage date.

You can buy an e-Day Licence at the following:

1. Online (Available all day except from midnight to 1am)
2. AXS (m-Station, e-Station and kiosks)
3. SAM Kiosk, Web, and SingPost Mobile App
4. By logging in to your dashboard.

Using an e-Day Licence

You can buy an e-Day Licence up to 2 weeks in advance. If you change your mind about using it, you can cancel the e-Day Licence or update the usage date before 7am on the specified date of use. Check the timeline below.

You can cancel or update the usage date of your e-Day Licence at the following:

1. Online (Available all day except from midnight to 1am)
2. By logging in to your dashboard

Note: Undated e-Day Licences are no longer available for purchase. If you had previously bought undated e-Day Licences, you can still use them. You must specify a usage date by 11.59 pm the next day after driving your WEC/ OPC/ ROPC. Otherwise, the undated e-Day Licence is considered invalid.

If you drove during restricted hours without an e-Day Licence

It is an offence to use a WEC/ OPC/ ROPC during restricted hours without an e-Day Licence.

If you drove during restricted hours without an e-Day Licence, you have until 11.59 pm the next day to buy an e-Day Licence. If you miss this deadline, you have 3 more days to declare to LTA and you have to pay a fee of $30. 

*You can only declare the usage of your WEC/ OPC/ ROPC online (Available all day except from 12.00 am to 1.00 am).
