Bypakke Ålesund

The transport system must accommodate population growth. The urban package aims to contribute to the development of a forward-looking public transport system and an attractive, sustainable urban development. Rapid expansion of the road network for cars, public transport, pedestrians, and cyclists will be an important prerequisite for further development and growth in Ålesund and the surrounding region.

Tariff Group 2 (from 3,501 kg)

Vehicles with a maximum permitted weight from 3,501 kg, excluding passenger cars in vehicle category M1 in Autosys, with a valid agreement. Tariffs effective from 03/12/2024:

Monthly Cap: A monthly cap means that a maximum number of paid toll passages per calendar month is applied for each vehicle linked to the agreement. In Bypakke Ålesund, the monthly cap is 60 paid passages per calendar month, and the scheme applies to both Tariff Group 1 and 2. The monthly cap requires a valid agreement and tag. The right to a monthly cap for the current month is revoked if the tag issuer is changed, including in cases of tag replacement, unless the replacement is carried out by or in cooperation with the tag issuer.

When replacing a tag, the process must be carried out in cooperation with the tag issuer. By coordinating the tag replacement with the tag issuer, you ensure that the new tag is correctly linked to the existing agreement and vehicle, and that the monthly cap is preserved. The tag issuer can also provide guidance and assistance during the replacement process, ensuring a smooth transition to the new tag.

Note: This requires the tag issuer to use the “tag replacement function.” Consult your tag issuer to ensure this is done correctly. You must use the same tag issuer for passages to count toward the monthly cap for the current month. If you plan to switch tag issuers, it is recommended to do so at the beginning of a month to maintain the monthly cap as fully as possible.

Hourly Rule: The hourly rule means that only one toll passage per hour is charged, even if multiple toll stations are passed within that hour. A common hourly rule applies to all toll stations in Bypakke Ålesund. The scheme applies to both Tariff Group 1 and 2. It is no longer required to have a valid AutoPASS agreement and tag to receive the hourly rule in Bypakke Ålesund.

Exemptions are granted according to the current toll guidelines. Currently, the following exemptions apply:

• Uniformed and unmarked emergency vehicles
• Public transport vehicles in service
• NATO vehicles during exercises*
• Vehicles owned by NATO Headquarters JWC at Jåttå. Exemptions may be granted for up to 2 years at a time.
• People with reduced mobility holding a parking permit, limited to toll rings**

Exemptions may be granted upon application and require a valid user agreement with an AutoPASS issuer regarding tag use. Vehicles approved as emergency vehicles in Autosys are exempt from the application requirement.

Exemption schemes marked with * generally apply based on lists provided by the Armed Forces, showing license plates of the vehicles covered by the scheme. Exemptions are granted for a fixed period linked to the duration of the NATO exercise.

Exemptions for people with reduced mobility in toll rings marked ** require submission of a parking permit and a decision granting parking authorization according to the regulation on parking permits for people with reduced mobility. The parking permit must be valid for at least 2 years. The decision on the parking permit and the user agreement must be in the same name. Exemptions cannot be linked to commercial vehicles. Each exemption applies to one vehicle and one user agreement only. The exception is when the parking permit decision applies to persons under 18 years of age, in which case the exemption can be linked to a guardian/parent and up to two vehicles in total.

Granted exemptions are valid from the date of the decision and are not retroactive.

All exemptions and discounts require a valid AutoPASS Agreement and tag.
