Mexican regulatory enforcement of ride-hailing services
Overview
Authorities in various Mexican states are increasing enforcement actions against digital ride-hailing platforms operating without proper authorization.
In Oaxaca and Hidalgo, officials have issued warnings regarding the legality of services like Uber. In Oaxaca, the Secretariat of Mobility (Semovi) noted that unauthorized digital transport services could face fines exceeding 58,000 pesos. In Hidalgo, Governor Julio Menchaca Salazar characterized Uber’s operations in Pachuca as being “outside the law” and stated that the Ministry Public may investigate potential fraud or the irregular use of public services.
In Jalisco, the Secretariat of Transport (SETRAN) has moved toward active sanctions, recently penalizing 92 motorcyclists for providing passenger transport via digital platforms, a practice prohibited in the state. While some platforms have suspended motorcycle services, authorities noted that others continue to offer the option despite previous notifications of the prohibition. Violators in Jalisco face fines and the potential impoundment of their vehicles.
