Latin American transport and investment regulation

Overview

Regional governments in Latin America are implementing various regulatory changes regarding transportation and foreign investment.

In Argentina, authorities in Buenos Aires have extended the validity of professional driver licenses by 120 days for specific expiration windows due to training and examination access difficulties. In San Miguel de Tucumán, officials are establishing a direct registry for platform-based drivers to improve oversight.

In Honduras, transport leaders have proposed a modernization plan to the government involving fleet renewal, electronic payments, and transitioning drivers to salaried employment. Meanwhile, in Mexico, President Claudia Sheinbaum has submitted legislative reforms to Congress to increase state control over foreign investments in strategic sectors, including energy, semiconductors, telecommunications, and artificial intelligence, citing national security interests.

Additionally, Ecuador is discussing road safety legislation to centralize traffic control and regulate delivery services.
