Peru Reinstates David Hernández to Lead ATU After Romero Bonilla Resigns

The transport ministry’s proposal returns Hernández to executive control of Lima and Callao’s transit authority while the government declines to explain Romero Bonilla’s departure.

Overview

  • The Executive published Supreme Resolutions No. 017-2025-MTC and No. 018-2025-MTC in El Peruano on November 1 to accept the resignation and restore leadership, with both documents signed by President José Enrique Jerí Oré and Transport Minister Aldo Martín Prieto Barrera.
  • Resolution No. 017-2025-MTC formally accepts the resignation of Jaime Francisco Romero Bonilla, who had been serving as board president this year.
  • Resolution No. 018-2025-MTC appoints David Augusto Hernández Salazar as a board member and president, marking his return to a role he previously held at the authority.
  • The Ministry of Transport and Communications advanced the proposal for Hernández’s reinstatement, and the official notices do not provide reasons for Romero Bonilla’s exit.
  • Under ATU rules, the board president also serves as executive president, meaning Hernández now resumes operational leadership of the agency, whose council comprises eight members appointed for five-year terms.
