Dutra Launches Free-Flow Tolls on SP–Arujá Stretch as Court Halts Fines for Nonpayment

Overview

• CCR’s free-flow system began Dec. 6 on the Presidente Dutra between km 231 and km 204, charging only on the express lanes while the marginal remains free.
• The network uses 21 gantries that read plates or tags and applies variable tariffs by distance, time, and demand, with base prices such as R$0.25 (Fernão Dias) and R$1.37 (airport) that can reach R$9.06 at peaks.
• Drivers with tags receive a 5% discount with automatic billing, those without have up to 30 days to pay via website, app, or on-site kiosks, and motorcycles pay half fare.
• Integration rules keep a single charge for long-distance users who already paid at the Arujá plaza, with a two-hour tolerance for service exits before returning to the express lanes.
• A federal judge in Guarulhos granted an MPF-requested injunction that maintains collection but blocks fines for nonpayment; separately, Nova 364 plans seven gantries on BR-364 but awaits ANTT authorization to start charging.
