Highways in the state of São Paulo recorded a 4.9% increase in vehicle traffic over one year, between August 2024 and August 2025, according to data from the Highway Traffic Monitor, prepared by Fipe in partnership with Veloe.
This growth is a direct result of the quality of São Paulo’s road network and the investments made by the state government in concessions, which ensure greater safety, comfort, and efficiency for road users. The works and services delivered by concessionaires include road duplications, pavement rehabilitation, upgraded signage, pedestrian overpasses, LED lighting, real-time monitoring, user service stations, and a dedicated 24-hour emergency response fleet.
“São Paulo concentrates nine of the ten best highways in the country because we have a robust concessions program, combined with strict technical oversight. This ensures fewer accidents, more comfort for users, and higher quality in the services provided. That’s the standard Artesp works every day to maintain,” said Raquel Carneiro, director of Artesp.
On the Rota Sorocabana, for instance, there are gantries in cities like Cotia, São Roque, Alumínio, and Sorocaba used exclusively for traffic monitoring, without toll collection. They help manage mobility and improve road safety.
In addition, concessionaires of the Litoral Paulista Lot, Nova Raposo, and other regions are already carrying out simultaneous construction fronts that include road paving, resurfacing, drainage and containment works, frontage roads, shoulders, and safety devices. Together, these improvements make roads safer for drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists.
Ongoing investments reinforce the role of São Paulo’s highway concessions program as a national benchmark in planning, innovation, and quality of services provided to citizens.
