Let's talk about the topics we have prepared today.

[Thanks for opening Shin-Tomei Expressway]
Before introducing the topics, we would like to thank you one word.
Shin-Tomei Expressway Toyota-higashi From the junction (JCT), HamamatsuInasa JCT was successfully opened at 15:00 on February 13th.
We would like to once again thank the local people for their generous understanding and cooperation in opening the service, as well as the people involved in the efforts.
We would also like to thank all of the mass media for interviews and opening ceremonies.

 

[Current status of business (January 2016)]
Please see page 1 of Document 1.
Regarding operating conditions, toll revenue in January was 49,585 million yen, an increase of 0.8% from the same month of the previous year, and the number of traffic per day was 1,77,000 units, an increase of 0.6% from the same month of the previous year. It was
In January, due to the suspension of traffic on the Chuo Expressway Expressway due to heavy snow, the average growth rate for the current fiscal year slowed down slightly, and toll revenue and the number of vehicles passing were almost flat.

Next, regarding the status of construction, as I mentioned earlier, the new Shin-Tomei Expressway has opened. The traffic conditions for the first week after opening will be explained in Appendix 2.

Next is the situation of the service area.
The total number of service areas (SA) and parking areas (PA) is NEOPASA Okazaki (Okazaki SA) and Nagashino Shitarahara PA up and down lines in the Shin-Tomei Expressway opening section on Saturday, February 13th. Due to the opening of 3 locations, the number has reached 180.
Sales of SA / PA in January were 13,762 million yen, an increase of 0.9% from the same month of the previous year, and sales of the Food and Beverage / Sales division increased by 2.5% from the same month of the previous year.
As a factor of the increase, sales were affected by the suspension of snow due to the cold weather after the third week, which had an impact on sales. However, sales at the beginning of the year were favorable, and this was a year-on-year increase.
Sales of the gasoline division decreased 2.8% year-on-year.
The reason for the decrease is the decline in crude oil prices.

[Opening effect of Shin-Tomei Expressway (between HamamatsuInasa JCT and Okazaki Higashi JCT)]
Please see Document 2.
Shin-Tomei Expressway as a press release article (Aichi Prefecture) opened effect Review Conference, "Shin-Tomei Expwy (HamamatsuInasa JCT~Toyota-higashi has handed out the JCT) opened immediately after the traffic situation".
As you can see at the beginning of the document, the number of traffic per week from February 14 (Sun) to February 20 (Sat), the day after the opening, is 44,000 units for Shin-Tomei Expressway Tomei and 56,000 for Tomei in parallel. / It has become a day. Tomei has 40% less traffic than before opening, and traffic is dispersed.
Also, due to the transfer of traffic from Tomei to Shin-Tomei Expressway Tomei, there has been no traffic congestion or major accidents in Tomei within the first week after opening. This ensures punctuality and is beginning to be useful in contributing to logistics and activating the railway industry.
The sales of SA / PA will be about 180 million yen in the week from February 14th (Sun) to February 20th (Sat) at the newly opened NEOPASA Okazaki and Nagashino-Shitaragahara PA up and down lines. Tomei's PAs (Shinshiro PA Up / Down Line, Akatsuka PA Up / Down Line, Miai Miai PA Up / Down Line 6PA) were about 30 million yen, for a total of 210 million yen.
In particular, NEOPASA Okazaki, which opened this time, has sold three times more than the EXPASA Gozaisho In-bound line, which had been the largest sales in our Chukyo region in the past week.
Compared to the Ebina SA Out-bound Line, which boasts the largest sales in our jurisdiction, both sales and visitors exceeded the results.
As for visitors, not only the Expressway side, but also the Platt Park side come to a very large number of customers. In addition, despite the bad weather last weekend after one week of opening, we were able to contribute to the revitalization of the region as well as the high expectations of new opening areas by having the same customers as when opening the store. It seems.
We will continue to aim for an area that you will want to visit again and again, so we look forward to your visit.

[About new Expressway tolls in the Tokyo area]
Regarding the new Expressway tolls in the Tokyo metropolitan area after April 1, we solicited opinions from the public in September last year, and are currently in the process of making a formal decision. We will soon move to a new price, so today, I would like to introduce the contents again.
Please see the two types of leaflets you have.
The new fee, Ken-O Road of the inside and the Expressway With regard to rates, to organize and unify the tariff levels and vehicle type classification, to migrate to the fee structure which is based on a pair of distance system. As the vehicle to bypass the city center is not a disadvantage, relatively expensive Ken-O Road cuts the price for the west side section, if the destination is the same, such as to determine the fee based on the cheapest rate regardless of the route, downtown Introducing a toll system that uses ring roads more intelligently to reduce traffic congestion.
At present, we are posting it on our website and distributing our handbill at rest facilities so that our customers can understand the new Expressway tolls as quickly as possible to make them widely known. We look forward to your cooperation with the mass media.
We will inform you again when the new price is officially decided.

[SA / PA, disaster prevention training at toll booths]
Please see Document 3.
Five years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake that struck on March 11, 2011. Through this disaster, as shown in the “comb teeth operation”, first of all, it was reiterated that the enlightenment of the Expressway and other trunk road networks would be the precursor to all recovery measures such as lifesaving and material transportation. confirmed. In addition, the SA and “Roadside Station” functioned as an evacuation site that provided an activity base for the Self-Defense Forces, food, toilets, and a place to stay overnight while taking advantage of the large site and parking space.
In our jurisdiction, large-scale earthquakes that may affect the Expressway such as the Tokai earthquake, the Nankai Trough giant earthquake, and the Tokyo metropolitan area earthquake, are expected to occur.
Our company is also building a support and cooperation system with the Self-Defense Forces and others, and is preparing the stockpiles for customers in SA / PA. We will also conduct disaster prevention drills at a total of 395 locations, including 164 SA / PA locations and 231 toll booths, with the aim of ensuring even greater customer safety.
This training is planned to include customer evacuation guidance training at toll booths, customer evacuation guidance training at SA / PA, and operation training to actually operate the prepared emergency supplies.
In addition, in September last year, as a disaster prevention drill focusing on road enlightenment, related organizations such as road restoration plan formulation, communication with the Self-Defense Forces and gathering of disaster dispatch medical team (DMAT) to SA / PA, etc. We conducted training in collaboration with.
For the mass media, we will publish the training at four places listed in the materials. Details will be announced separately, so I would like to take this opportunity to interview you.

As a result, not only female customers, but also those who use it are now very well received.Since 2014, we have cooperated with Nagano Prefecture to provide know-how for the maintenance and beautification of toilets in the prefecture. It is provided to cleaning companies.
In addition, last year, the 10-year post-privatization business inspection review committee evaluated that the toilet was clean, and the new Shin-Tomei Expressway NEOPASA Shimizu toilet received the Japan Toilet Grand Prize, Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Award. It was.
