📋 Tender Overview
The Supervisory Body for Investment in Transport Infrastructure for Public Use (Ositran) warns that after the ruling of the Constitutional Court issued in File No. 01072-2023-PHC/TC, a series of wrong interpretations have been generated by some citizens aimed at suspending the collection of tolls or evading payment of these, ignoring that they are part of current concession contracts authorized by the State.
This mistaken understanding could generalize the idea that it is not appropriate to pay tolls, forgetting that the payment received for tolls on the concessioned roads is intended for the conservation, maintenance and operation of the roads that are supervised by Ositran.
An emblematic case is the constitutional lawsuit against the company Concesionaria Peruana de Vias-COVINCA S. A., in charge of the Desvio Quilca-Arequipa-Matarani-Moquegua-Ilo-Tacna-La Concordia road section, where the suspension of toll collection is requested due to the alleged non-existence of an alternative route.
The regulator considers that this demand transcends the interest of the parties involved in the process, since it involves all of us who use the roads, given that, if the toll is not paid, the roads will be directly affected by the lack of care, inspections and repairs, exposing them to reducing their useful life and becoming impassable roads as has unfortunately happened with other non-concessioned roads in our country, where serious accidents have been caused due to lack of adequate maintenance.
One of Ositrans objectives is to ensure full compliance with the toll system derived from the respective concession contracts, so by defending the toll system it reaffirms its commitment to the defense of the public interest, the legal security necessary for the development of transportation investment projects and the continuity of efficient and sustainable transportation infrastructure services for the benefit of all citizens.
