Overview
- The Transport Ministry issued Directoral Resolutions No. 0009-2026-MTC/18 and 0010-2026-MTC/18 in El Peruano, setting rules for provisional route redesign and a certification scheme for secure corridors.
- The National Police will delineate high‑risk zones using georeferenced crime maps, intelligence reports and transport alert systems, sending weekly updates to guide interventions.
- Provisional route changes carry an initial validity of up to 30 calendar days, with extensions contingent on monitoring and technical review of evolving risk.
- Certification of safe routes requires minimum security standards such as CCTV, integrated panic buttons and active monitoring, evaluated by an MTC technical committee.
- Former officials and operators question the plan’s effectiveness, citing limited policing capacity, potential displacement of extortion and service gaps that could boost informality, while some transport companies urge Interior Minister Hugo Begazo to resign.
