Argentina continues to implement transport and traffic regulation updates. The Ministry of Transport in Buenos Aires introduced the ‘Asistente Virtual de Infracciones BA’ to allow citizens to consult fines via WhatsApp, while the National Secretariat of Transport approved Resolution 55/2026 to allow flexible adjustments to public transport routes and fleets. In the Province of Buenos Aires, traffic fine rates were adjusted based on the ‘Unidad Fija’, rising to 2,271 pesos, with high-severity infractions reaching 2,271,000 pesos. The provincial legislature is also debating whether to decouple fine settlements from driver's license renewals. While Senator Pablo Petrecca has advocated for a legislative review to allow inspections at authorized private workshops and dealerships, Transport Minister Martín Marinucci has confirmed the province will not adopt the deregulated scheme. New enforcement measures are being introduced on the Buenos Aires–La Plata highway. Starting September 15, Autopistas de Buenos Aires S. A. (AUBASA) will impose fines between $180,000 and $250,000 for toll evasion. Additionally, electronic tolling has resumed on Route 226, where costs double for drivers without a TelePASE device. To mitigate labor ~~disruptions caused by appointment difficulties under a new national system,~~ disruptions, the Province of Buenos Aires has extended professional driving licenses (classes C, D, and E) by 120 days for those expiring between July 1 and October 31, 2026. To mitigate economic impact on users, the Government of the Province of Buenos Aires has frozen Vehicle Technical Inspection (VTV) service rates for 90 days. This measure, formalized by the provincial Ministry of Transport, postpones a planned 17% increase—which was tied to wage adjustments between SMATA and CAVEA—maintaining current prices until October 14, 2026. Under this freeze, the basic rate for vehicles up to 2,500 kg remains at $97,057.65, while motorcycle rates stay at $38,801.03 and rates for vehicles exceeding 2,500 kg remain at $174,604.64.
