San Juan del Río public works funding prepaid transit card tax discounts Roberto Cabrera Valencia

The municipal government of San Juan del Río, Querétaro, approved a second‑phase public‑works program funded by the Fondo de Aportaciones para la Infraestructura Social Municipal (FAISMUN), allocating 22.6 million pesos for five construction projects and two land‑transfer authorizations. During the same council session, mayor Roberto Cabrera Valencia oversaw the adoption of a tax‑discount program for inheritance and donation transfers, offering reductions of up to 80 % on domain‑transfer taxes and full waivers of related fines.

In parallel, the state’s Agencia de Movilidad del Estado de Querétaro (AMEQ) introduced a prepaid transit‑card system for the municipality’s public‑bus network, beginning 1 August 2026. The card, sold at convenience stores and university sites, enables a 10‑peso fare on 300 buses, with electronic validators and mobile‑app integration for balance checks and recharges.

Municipal social‑development reports also highlighted ongoing programs that have benefited thousands of families through food subsidies, health services, and community infrastructure improvements.
