Argentina pushes forward transport sector reforms

The municipal council of Córdoba approved a comprehensive update to the city’s taxi and remise ordinance. The reform raises the permissible vehicle age limit from six to ten years, extends the driver‑age ceiling to 76, eliminates several licence fees, makes affiliation with central agencies optional and digitises most administrative procedures through the new “Mi Docta” platform.

Council member Marcos Vázquez emphasized that the changes aim to improve working conditions for drivers, reduce bureaucratic burdens and lower operating costs by removing contribution taxes and paper‑based documentation.

At the national level, the Superintendence of Insurance (SSN) issued a resolution that modernises insurance requirements for passenger‑transport vehicles. It introduces a uniform liability‑insurance policy, streamlines administrative steps and removes outdated paperwork, aligning the sector with the government’s new transport classification framework.

In the province of San Luis, Governor Claudio Poggi presented a bill to establish Road Consortia that would involve rural producers in the maintenance of secondary roads. The scheme proposes a dedicated fund financed by provincial taxes and contributions from consortium members, aiming to decentralise road upkeep and speed up repairs.

Together, these measures illustrate a broader Argentine push to modernise transport regulation, cut costs for operators, digitise licensing and improve infrastructure across both urban and rural sectors.
