Who’s traveling in the DR? The tolls paid leave a trail of information on how many are commuting. Toll collections in the Dominican Republic reached a record high of RD$9.03 billion in 2024, according to data provided to Listin Diario by the Ministry of Public Works and RD Vial Public Trust. That compares to RD$8.02 billion in tolls in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monthly collections varied significantly throughout the year, with July and August the only two months that show the payment of tolls of more than RD$800 million. In contrast, February had the lowest monthly collection at RD$675,570,920, followed by May with RD$717,633,460.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The peak in July and August can be attributed to school vacations and visits from abroad. August is the peak incoming travel month in the Dominican Republic. The lull in February could be that it is the shortest month and people are recovering from the Christmas vacations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statistics showed a decline in Paso Rapido (the Red Vial pass) revenues, dropping to RD$4,227,833,600 (46.8%) of the total compared to RD$5,107,611,240 (64%) in 2023, despite campaigns unfolded to motivate people to download the app for the quicker toll clearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024, more drivers paid cash, or RD$4,805,591,180 (53.2% of the total), while the Paso R\u00e1pido system accounted for RD$4,227,833,660 (46.8%) of the total revenue, according to the Toll Revenue and Traffic report provided by the RD Vial Trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collections per month were:
January: RD$737,624,820
February: RD$675,570,920
March: RD$767,223,800
April: RD$732,442,900
May: RD$717,633,460
June: RD$734,662,000
July: (RD$805,555,440
August: RD$833,299,320
September: (RD$733,418,740
October: (RD$764,568,600
November: (RD$725,526,240
December: (RD$805,898,600<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red Vial toll statistics for 2025 will not be comparable to those of 2024 and 2023, as starting mid- January the government increased the charge at several toll stations from RD$60 to RD$100, including Las Americas on the south coast; Duarte Highway, to the north; and San Cristobal, connecting the capital city with the southwest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
