Bolivia's New Electronic Toll System: Faster Roads, Modern Technology

Bolivia Modernizes Highways with New Electronic Toll System Bolivia is modernizing its highway system with the implementation of a new electronic toll collection system, known as "telepeaje." The system, already active at several toll plazas across the country, aims to reduce traffic congestion and improve efficiency. The initiative has been praised by drivers who value the convenience of faster passage. "The idea is to avoid having to stop at toll booths and pay with an electronic card," explained one news anchor. The registration process is straightforward, involving a one-time fee of 20 Bolivianos, which includes 10 Bolivianos of credit. Drivers can register at designated points, such as the kilometer 17 toll plaza on the northern highway. Julio Álvarez, the regional head of Vías Bolivia, emphasized the ease of use. "Anyone with a vehicle can acquire it, whether for personal or public use. They just need to register once and can then recharge credit via the Vías Bolivia app." The system uses RFID tags placed on windshields, allowing for automated payment. The telepeaje system is currently operational in La Paz, Cochabamba, and Santa Cruz, with plans for nationwide expansion. This modernization demonstrates Bolivia's commitment to improving its infrastructure and providing a more efficient travel experience for its citizens.
