The Government of São Paulo has launched the website for the Siga Fácil system (sigafacil.sp.gov.br) to assist drivers with toll payments under the new electronic model. This system replaces traditional toll booths with smart gantries that automatically identify vehicles through license plates or electronic tags. The change aims to make traffic flow smoother and safer by eliminating queues and reducing the risk of accidents. It also promotes fairer toll rates by implementing a more balanced pricing system.
The first two gantries are located on SP-333 (Rodovia Laurentino Mascari), between Itápolis and Jaboticabal, operated by Ecovias do Noroeste Paulista, and on SPI 097/055 (Rodovia dos Tamoios, South Bypass – km 13+500), in Caraguatatuba, managed by the Tamoios concessionaire.
The Siga Fácil system website provides a map showing the locations of the electronic toll gantries and offers links provided by concessionaires for one-time payments — making the process easier for users who do not have an electronic tag. Drivers will also find information on how the electronic toll system works, as well as contact details for São Paulo’s Transportation Agency (Artesp) and the concessionaires for any questions.
The replacement of physical toll plazas with gantries is happening gradually across state highways under concession. During this transition period, current contract toll rates remain in effect, ensuring legal stability, user protection, and progress toward a more modern and efficient system.
new concessions
Highway concessions launched from 2024 onward — such as Novo Litoral Paulista, Nova Raposo, and Rota Sorocabana — are already designed with proportional toll charging based on the distance traveled. This means drivers pay only for the segments they actually use.
Additionally, motorcyclists are exempt from tolls on all sections operated under the new electronic toll contracts, reinforcing the social character of the initiative and directly benefiting those who rely on this form of transportation daily.
Another distinguishing feature of Siga Fácil is the range of benefits for users with electronic tags, including fixed and progressive discounts based on travel frequency and distance. However, those without a tag are also served with convenience: the vehicle’s license plate is automatically recognized, and payment can be made within 30 days through the concessionaires’ digital channels (such as apps, websites, WhatsApp, Pix, or credit card). Failure to pay within the deadline constitutes a traffic violation, as established by federal regulations of Brazil’s National Traffic Council (Contran).
In addition to cost savings, the program directly enhances road safety by eliminating sudden stops at toll booths, thereby reducing the risk of collisions. Inspired by successful international models from countries like Portugal, Norway, and Chile, Siga Fácil positions the state as a national leader in smart, efficient, and digital mobility.
It is important to note that before installing gantries and initiating toll collection, concessionaires are required to complete the planned investments aimed at improving service quality, including construction, signage, technology, and safety enhancements. Only after this stage is completed will the electronic toll system be authorized to begin full operations under Artesp’s supervision.
