Motorists have claimed $264 on average in the first three months of the NSW toll cap scheme.
There is $46.8 million available to be claimed after the first quarterly period, for over 350,000 toll account holders.
Baulkham Hills had the most amount claims with 706, followed by Blacktown with 659, Marsden Park with 555 and Auburn with 324.
The Minister for Roads John Graham said the $60 weekly toll cap is “working just as designed.”
“This means much-needed dollars in the pockets of drivers across western Sydney, those areas where people have little other choice than to use toll roads and where public transport alternatives are not as viable as in other parts of Sydney.
“The NSW Government’s number one priority is delivering cost of living relief and I urge those drivers who are eligible for toll relief to link their toll account with Service NSW.”
