Aiming to address the influx of vacationers and weekenders driving to and from travel destinations, SMC Tollways launched in early May its motorist assistance program—RoadMAP. Six Petron service stations in SMC-operated tollways—TPLEX, SLEX, and STAR—have set up RoadMAP stations to provide free mechanic services and vehicle checkups, medical assistance and travel information.
