  • TAG IAVE is mandatory in designated lanes but PASE and Televía devices are also accepted under the Cero Efectivo program.
  • Drivers can purchase TAG IAVE for 80 pesos via CAPUFE’s portal, toll service modules or retailers such as Walmart and OXXO.
  • Up to 15 vehicle-specific tags can be linked to a single account with options for prepaid or postpaid billing.
  • Transport groups welcome faster crossings but are seeking clearer interoperability guidelines and support for occasional road users.
