Conventional toll plazas<\/strong> are increasingly becoming a thing of the past. The implementation of electronic tolling<\/strong> (or free-flow system) is expected soon on highways nationwide in Brazil<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This measure was approved by the National Traffic Council (Contran)<\/strong>. \u201cWe anticipate a cheaper, fairer, and more equitable toll<\/strong>, along with better access to information, streamlined services, and improved mobility<\/strong> for citizens,\u201d stated Adrualdo Cat\u00e3o<\/strong>, National Secretary of Traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following this Contran<\/strong> resolution, an ordinance<\/strong> will be established to regulate the new model. Once this ordinance on electronic tolling<\/strong> is published in the Official Gazette of the Union (DOU)<\/strong>, concessionaires<\/strong> adopting this model will have a maximum of 180 days<\/strong> to comply with the established requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An important advantage of this model is its sustainability<\/strong>, as removing the need to stop at tolls will lead to a reduction in carbon emissions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis measure will address several issues encountered in some implementations of this technology in certain states, covering various situations gathered throughout the public consultation process,\u201d said George Santoro<\/strong>, Executive Secretary of the Ministry of Transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, the new model also provides greater tariff equity<\/strong> by allowing toll payments to be proportional to the distance traveled<\/strong>, ensuring greater fairness<\/strong> and economy<\/strong> for users<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The standards for tariffs<\/strong> and collection points will be defined by the road management authority<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following a successful 2024 tour<\/strong>, Latam Mobility<\/strong> has established itself as the most important sustainable mobility<\/strong> community in Latin America<\/strong>, generating synergy among the actors involved to expand decarbonization<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2025<\/strong>, the Invest In Latam<\/strong> network will continue its impact in the region with confirmed events in Colombia, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
