The achievement of a 90% Hi-Pass usage rate is attributed to the corporation's efforts in distributing Happy Terminals, expanding Hi-Pass use among freight trucks, introducing multi-lane Hi-Pass, and providing customer convenience and terminal subsidies, resulting in the distribution of a total of 24.82 million terminals, which accounts for 96.5% of the total registered vehicles.

To commemorate reaching a 90% Hi-Pass usage rate, the corporation is conducting a Hi-Pass terminal information update event.

The event targets customers who complete their Hi-Pass information update during the three weeks from the 11th to the 31st, and participation is available through online application on the Hi-Pass website.

After the event ends, 1,000 winners will be selected by lottery to receive a gifticon worth 15,000 KRW, and winners will be notified via a website announcement and individual text messages within seven days after the event concludes.

Customers who complete the Hi-Pass information update will be able to receive services such as emergency evacuation calls, toll payment delinquency notifications, and terminal error alerts properly.

The corporation has introduced the Hi-Pass system for parking fee payments at 10 institutions, including Incheon International Airport, and plans to gradually expand this system further.

A representative from Korea Expressway Corporation stated, “Hi-Pass is the corporation’s representative customer convenience system that enables toll payments without stopping,” and added, “We will make various efforts to expand Hi-Pass usage with the goal of achieving a 92% usage rate by 2027.”
