In a meeting that Governor Jaime Rodríguez Calderón had with local deputies, he raised the possibility that mobile applications such as Uber, Didi and Cabify pay a 1.5% tax on their operations in the state.

"Today Uber and the platforms (for private transport of passengers) agree to pay the percentage they pay elsewhere, to be used in improving the road, is part of what we will see in the regulations," assured the state agent.

This tax, he said, will serve to put it in a fund that resolves the problem of synchronization of more than 1,600 traffic lights in the metropolitan area of ​​Monterrey, which would reduce environmental pollution by 20%.

In addition, cameras would be installed at each traffic light to control security and contamination detectors would be installed.

"It is a three-year project, I have proposed it to President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, I hope we have the complete project so that we can use the Metropolitan Fund, the Hydrocarbons Fund, the resources that we could obtain from the platforms and taxes to the transport union,"  affirmed El Bronco.

He estimated that they would have to invest around 2,000 million pesos and with that, mobility, security and roads are solved simultaneously.
