Citizens who have pending summonses for traffic violations in Bogotá will be able to access discounts of up to 50% on the value of their fines, as long as they complete a pedagogical course within the deadlines established by law. The measure, in force during 2025, seeks to promote road culture and facilitate the normalization of obligations before the District Mobility Secretariat (SDM).
According to the entity, people who receive a summons, whether in person or electronically, can obtain a 50% or 25% discount, depending on the time it takes to make the payment and attend the corresponding course. This alternative, contemplated in the National Traffic Code (Law 769 of 2002) and in Law 1843 of 2017, aims to promote timely compliance and reduce the recurrence of violations in the city.

According to official figures, between January and September 2025, 723,794 summonses have been imposedof which 320,751 were paid with a discount benefit, which represents about 44% of the total, and due to this, the District is now seeking to promote a new campaign so that the benefit reaches more people.
Discounts depending on the type of comparison
The first thing to keep in mind when requesting discounts on summonses is that the benefits apply differently depending on the type of notification. For example, in the case of summonses imposed directly on the street, citizens can access a 50% discount if they complete the course and payment within five business days following imposition and if they do so between 6 and 20 business days, the discount will be 25%.

For its part, for electronic summonses, the 50% discount applies if the citizen complies with the course and payment within 11 business days after notification, while 25% is granted if the procedure is carried out between 12 and 26 business days. In both cases, the pedagogical course It is an essential requirement to access the benefit, and must be done before making the payment.

Likewise, the Ministry of Mobility recalled that citizens who do not agree with the infraction have right to challenge the appearance and present their arguments in a virtual public hearing.
