Government fleet ETC recordkeeping & audit trails.
Across paid travel, non-collected public-duty travel, and SOFA military travel, the same problem appears: the ETC card, the vehicle, the agency, and the mission all have to match — and they rarely live in one place. Japan Toll Receipts organises the ETC usage records so responsible offices can review, reconcile, and support audits. It does not decide whether a trip is authorized, exempt, reimbursable, or payable.
Four things must match
A defensible record ties the ETC card, the specific vehicle, the responsible agency / budget line, and the mission together. Miss one, and the trip cannot be reviewed or reconciled cleanly.
The MEISAI window is short
The official ETC usage inquiry (MEISAI) only shows a limited window. Without durable export, records vanish before an audit or budget review needs them.
Non-collection ≠ no review
Even when no toll is collected, use is reviewed — e.g., police flag non-public-duty driving (非公務利用走行). Offices need exception visibility, not just billing totals.
PDF + CSV reports
Every trip becomes a structured record — date, entry/exit IC, vehicle, and toll — delivered automatically by email on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule.
Card ↔ vehicle ↔ agency match
Map each ETC card to its vehicle and owning office, so every toll resolves to a specific budget owner — even in a mixed convoy.
Exception review
Register an authorized vehicle list per card; usage from an unlisted vehicle or unexpected pattern is surfaced the next day, not at month-end.
Monthly reconciliation
Match the ETC invoice or public-duty usage list line by line against per-trip records — by vehicle, card, and date.
Department-level rollup
Consolidate many cards and vehicles by bureau, office, or station, so each budget owner sees only its own activity.
Audit-ready retention
Durable evidence delivered every cycle, outside the limited MEISAI window — ready for budget review and audit.
Register cards & vehicles
Add each official ETC card with its authorized vehicle(s) and owning office.
Auto-collect usage
JTR pulls the ETC usage and turns each trip into a structured record before the window closes.
Review exceptions
Next-day flags surface unlisted vehicles or unexpected usage for the responsible office.
Reconcile & retain
Match against invoices / usage lists, then keep durable PDF + CSV for audit.
Where JTR stops: Japan Toll Receipts does not decide whether a trip is authorized, exempt, reimbursable, or payable by any government agency. It helps organise ETC usage records into PDF and CSV reports for review, reconciliation, and audit support — the legal and accounting decisions stay with the responsible office.
