Argentina has implemented several updates to its transport and traffic regulation frameworks. Initially, the Ministry of Transport in Buenos Aires introduced a digital tool called ‘Asistente Virtual de Infracciones BA’ to allow citizens to manage traffic fines via WhatsApp. Additionally, the National Secretariat of Transport approved Resolution 55/2026 to allow for more flexible adjustments to public transport routes and frequencies.

Following these administrative updates, the Province of Buenos Aires announced an increase in traffic fine rates. The ‘Unidad Fija’ was adjusted to 2,271 pesos, leading to maximum penalties for high-severity infractions reaching 2,271,000 pesos. Concurrently, the provincial legislature is debating whether to decouple the settlement of outstanding fines from the ability to issue or renew driver's licenses, a move proposed by deputies Juan Osaba and Valentín Miranda.
