The reference to transit network and services throughout the AUA considers this particular situation and the fact the regional Airport brings about other factors in terms of visitors and freight needs that have to be addressed. Nevertheless, AUA considers transit as a definite possibility for the area due to the activity generated, although currently there are not funds identified. Furthermore, FTA annual allocations for the region are addressed toward the policy defined in the plan for the region incentivizing and promoting local transit routes, and other initiatives.

Based on this, the increases in Toll revenues have been established in less than 2% annually, which is considered conservative and sustainable. Most of these increases are due to the elimination of the 5-cent discount in "Auto- Expreso" (e-pass), more traffic, and a slight increase in the average toll price of up to $0.64 in 2016. This represents additional revenues of approximately $4.0 million annually."

However, historically the tolls revenues have been consistently increased, except for year 2008 and 2009 which the decreases were due to: 1) Decrease in Traffic due to slowdown in the economy, 2) 5% Discount offered to Autoexpreso users, and 3) Reclassification of Prepaid amounts as Deferred Revenues.
