Overview
- CAPUFE confirmed that reports of a total cash payment ban starting August 1 are false, and cash lanes will remain operational during the gradual transition.
- The Cero Efectivo program is modernizing highway tolls by promoting electronic payments through interoperable TAG devices across federal plazas.
- Drivers with TAG IAVE units bearing the 009 serial prefix must replace them by August 10 to avoid disruptions at toll booths.
- Existing TAG users need only ensure their devices are recharged, as no new purchases are required for interoperable systems.
- The shift aims to cut wait times, reduce cash-handling risks and bolster safety for both travelers and toll workers.
