Starting April 15, drivers traveling on the Guanajuato-Silao highway will be able to pay less for each crossing by using a TAG, with a reduction in the tariff that drops from 24.40 to 22.51 Mexican pesos. The adjustment increases the discount from 35% to 40%, representing a direct saving for frequent users of this key route connecting Guanajuato's capital city with the Bajío industrial zone. The benefit will apply exclusively to residents of Guanajuato's capital who register the device, as part of a scheme aimed at frequent users of this route in their daily commutes.
"Attention! Find out the requirements to process your TAG and get a discount on the highway toll for Guanajuato-Silao, if you reside in the capital." The first TAG will be free, while the second and third will cost 150 Mexican pesos each, facilitating its use in more than one vehicle. The application is made directly at the toll booth, where interested parties must attend with their vehicle, official ID with an address in Guanajuato's capital, and vehicle registration card. The service hours are Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 14:00 and Saturdays from 9:00 to 13:00.
Although the device can be used on other highways in the country, the preferential discount only applies to this specific highway. The validity of the TAG will be for at least two years. This benefit aims to reduce both the cost and waiting times on a road that is part of the daily mobility of thousands of people in the region. A high-flow toll booth. The Guanajuato-Silao highway has become one of the most transit corridors in the central area of the state, connecting the capital with the industrial corridor where jobs, services, and logistics are concentrated. In addition to the tariff benefit, the scheme will allow registering up to three TAGs per person. This constant flow has turned the toll into a recurring expense for workers, suppliers, and local transportation that cross the route daily.
Background of the concession. The operation of this highway generated public debate at the end of the state administration headed by Diego Sinhue Rodríguez Vallejo, when its concession was finalized. The process was questioned by sectors that pointed to a lack of clarity in the contract terms and the long-term impact on public finances and user tariffs. Any adjustment in costs or benefits, such as the discount via TAG, becomes relevant for those who constantly use this strategic route.
