The year 2023 closed with a positive balance for the recovery and development of land transportation in the country. This success paves the way for even more expressive results this year, according to data presented on Wednesday (10/01) during a press conference held by the Ministry of Transport in Brasilia.
The Director General of the National Land Transport Agency (ANTT), Rafael Vitale, highlighted the synergy with government bodies to further leverage solutions for the development of transport infrastructure for the year 2024. “The ANTT is committed and in agreement with the other bodies involved, such as the Ministry of Transport, Infra S.A., the Federal Court of Auditors and Ibama, to carry out the planned auctions and promote the development of infrastructure, guarantee jobs and accelerate the economy,” he said.
According to the data presented, the optimization of highway contracts amounts to R$110 billion in investments. This year, for example, Brazil plans to carry out 13 concessions (see the table below) in the area of land transport, attracting around R$122 billion for the necessary investments in the areas of highways and railroads.
