Colombia highway toll regulation proposal

Overview

Senator Luis Carlos Rúa has introduced a bill in the Colombian Congress to regulate the installation and operation of highway tolls. The proposed legislation seeks to establish a mandatory minimum distance of 150 kilometers between toll booths to prevent excessive proximity, such as instances in Antioquia where booths are located only 1.5 kilometers apart.

The initiative includes the creation of a national toll registry to consolidate information on existing collection points and improve coordination between managing entities. Furthermore, the bill suggests implementing differential tariffs for frequent users traveling specific routes for work or health reasons. To improve infrastructure management, the proposal suggests that resources collected through Invías be administered via an independent fund dedicated specifically to road maintenance.
