To foster transparency and accelerate information exchange, the Ministry of Transport of Brazil enacted Ordinance No. 595/2024, resulting from a collaboration with the National Department of Transport Infrastructure (DNIT).
The new regulation sets guidelines for information exchange between agencies, facilitating the monitoring of works and projects. It also reinforces the Ministry’s open data policy.
According to Gabriela Avelino, Undersecretary of Development and Planning at the Ministry of Transport, the new directive will allow for strategic use of data to make more accurate decisions. This advancement marks a milestone in governance and integrity policy.

“These data will support long-term infrastructure planning and facilitate the process of formulating public policies for the sector, directly benefiting citizens,” she concluded.
