Case Study: Regulatory Improvement in Action – The Modernisation of Transport in Tlaxcala
The state of Tlaxcala has taken a significant step towards modernising its urban infrastructure and road safety. Recently, the Ministry of Mobility and Transport (SMyT) announced key reforms to the transport regulations that serve as a perfect example of how Regulatory Improvement transforms the relationship between the government and citizens.

At VirreySoft, we analysed these changes to identify three pillars where regulatory improvement generates tangible benefits for businesses and public administration.

1. Administrative Simplification: Fewer Procedures, More Efficiency
One of the most notable achievements of this reform is the simplification of procedures for obtaining driving licences. By aligning local policies with federal regulatory improvement guidelines, "bureaucratic hurdles" that previously hindered mobility have been eliminated.

The real impact: Citizens can save up to 2,000 pesos per procedure and significantly reduce their waiting times. For a government, this translates into more agile management; for the citizen, into a direct reduction of costs and a better user experience.

2. Regulation of New Technologies (Electric Mobility)
Regulatory improvement is not just about "removing paperwork", but about ordering progress. The inclusion of clear rules for personal electric mobility is a necessary response to new urban dynamics.

The reform establishes:

Mandatory use of helmets and protective gear.
Age restrictions and supervision requirements for minors.
Clear parking and storage rules.
This demonstrates how well-designed regulation can detect and mitigate public safety risks before they become major problems, ensuring that technological innovation does not compromise user integrity.

3. Strengthening Compliance and Surveillance
A fundamental pillar of regulatory improvement is legal certainty. The reform in Tlaxcala not only simplifies but also tightens inspection and surveillance. By establishing clear fines and penalties for non-compliance (such as the lack of a vehicle registration card or units in poor condition), the government ensures a level playing field for everyone.

Furthermore, the obligation for transport companies to provide prior training and safety equipment is an example of how regulation can foster corporate responsibility and workplace safety.
