DTOP collects more than $70 million during the ticket amnesty

On July 1, 2026, NotiCel reports that the secretary of the Department of Transportation and Public Works, Edwin González Montalvo, gave an account of the amnesty for paying tickets. According to the official, that amnesty has generated more than $71 million from payments on 10,376,237 infractions. The outlet's headline rounds it to "over $70 million." Both magnitudes come from the same note. They are not averaged.

"The initial figure we had as a goal, which was $60 million, was surpassed. At the close of June, we expect to exceed $75 million generated in funds that will be invested in Puerto Rico's highways," Edwin González Montalvo explained. The benefit, he reiterated, remains in force through July 10. Residents with eligible fines receive a 40 percent discount on the total owed, including principal, surcharges, and interest. Those conditions are the ones NotiCel attributes to the secretary. This magazine does not calculate the discount or the ticket inventory.

Edwin González Montalvo held, in the same coverage, that DTOP will close fiscal year 2025-26 disbursing more than $400 million in investments for completed highway projects: money to contractors for work executed, cement, rebar, asphalt, and signage. He added that, since January 2025, $625 million has been invested for repaired landslides and asphalt in municipalities. The figure, he said, will rise once we have the fiscal-year close. That projection stands. It is not converted here into a census of kilometers.

The ticket amnesty is not the imposed budget of highways, coffee, and special education that NotiCel covered on the same July 1, 2026 at another URL. A fine collection and a budget imposition are two boxes. This note covers the collection. On July 6, NotiCel published a reminder that the discount on traffic fines expired that Friday; that reminder is not in this piece. Here the fact is July 1: more than $71 million, 10,376,237 infractions, and July 10 as the closing date the secretary named. The reader who wants the full announcement has the NotiCel URL at the foot.
