ETC (Electronic Toll Collection), the Chinese translation is Electronic Toll Collection. It is an automatic toll collection on highways or bridges. Through dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle electronic tag installed on the vehicle windshield and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane of the toll station, computer networking technology is used to perform back-end settlement processing with the bank, thereby enabling vehicles to charge through highways or bridges. Stations can pay highway or bridge tolls without stopping.

On May 10, 2019, Dai Dongchang, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Transport, stated that after the elimination of provincial toll stations, it is necessary to ensure that the utilization rate of ETC reaches more than 90% before the end of the year to ensure the operation of the entire road network unobstructed.

On April 28, 2020, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Transport stated that after the cancellation of provincial boundary toll stations on expressways at the beginning of the year, vehicles in the ETC exit lane will not display the full toll amount, but will push information or bills. A fee inquiry service is available, but some people have raised concerns about it. In order to meet the needs of the public, local transportation authorities and highway operating and management units have organized and carried out ETC "fee display" projects. All highway exit lanes can display the full toll for the trip.
