en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Peruvian government, through Emergency Decree No. 006-2026, has provided temporary subsidies to transport operators in Lima and Callao to address rising fuel prices. This initiative, named the "Operational Stability and Continuity Subsidy (ECO)," is managed and distributed by the Urban Transport Authority for Lima and Callao (ATU) to ensure uninterrupted transport services.

The subsidy amount will be calculated based on the effective mileage traveled by vehicles over 60 calendar days, distributed in two consecutive 30-day phases. All trip data must be mandatorily verified through the Integrated Control and Monitoring System (SICM). The subsidy rate per kilometer varies by vehicle type and size: 0.50 soles for buses, 0.40 soles for midibuses, and 0.30 soles for minibuses. Beneficiary operators must register their Interbank Account Code (CCI) or a bank account opened in their name in the ATU system to receive the subsidy. Additionally, operating vehicles must be equipped with a wireless control and monitoring system capable of transmitting real-time information to the ATU management center.
