Eligible operators include those providing regular public passenger transport services at national, regional and provincial levels, plus freight transport operators, all requiring current authorizations and vehicle permits issued by the Ministry of Transport, regional governments or provincial municipalities. Operators must maintain active tax registration with “habido” status in Peru’s Unified Taxpayer Registry. The program explicitly excludes transport services operating under private investment promotion concessions, services authorized within Lima and Callao under Law 31596 and Executive Presidency Resolution 203-2023-ATU/PE, and provincial services linked to contracts under Lima Metropolitan Municipality Ordinance 1769 under ATU oversight.
Maximum subsidy amounts per vehicle category range from S/552.52 for N1 category vehicles to S/1,915.41 for M3 category units, with M2 vehicles capped at S/674.65, N2 at S/888.45, and N3 at S/1,412.54. Fuel purchases require validation through electronic payment receipts, with fuel suppliers required to maintain current registration in Osinergmin’s Hydrocarbons Registry. The decree establishes sanctions for operators submitting false or altered information.
ATU is coordinating with regional and local governments to access authorization and permit databases under their respective jurisdictions. The tax authority Sunat and energy regulator Osinergmin will provide validation mechanisms to ensure transparency and proper use of public funds. Applications must be submitted through ATU’s virtual platform in a single submission per operator during the two-month window from July 30 through September 30, 2026. The transport ministry indicated a complementary decree addressing urban transport support remains under development for approval in coming days.
