**Municipality Faces $300 Million Peso Judgment: Sindicatura Under Review**
In a significant development, the Sindicatura is currently scrutinizing a ruling involving a 300 million peso judgment against a municipality, connected to the electronic payment concessionaire, Seproes. This case, among others, is part of the ongoing review process that began on October 1st, related to the administrative transition. Teresita de Jesús Balderas Beltrán, head of the Sindicatura, confirmed that her team is evaluating whether any responsibilities were neglected during the prior municipal administration.
Balderas Beltrán highlighted that the examination of this case is one of many at hand, emphasizing the importance of transparency and accountability. She assured that findings would be shared when appropriate, particularly if any discrepancies are discovered. Currently, the legal action from Seproes Baja SA de CV against the Tijuana city council concerns alleged contractual breaches that have resulted in significant financial losses for the company.
The Integral Transportation System of Tijuana (SITT), operational since 2016, never implemented the planned electronic payments, leading to disputes and legal proceedings. Both Seproes and SITT SA de CV, another company claiming substantial losses, await resolutions to their respective cases before any forward momentum on the transportation projects can be achieved.

Amidst ongoing legal battles, Tijuana’s transport sector is experiencing another setback. Two companies are demanding a combined 2 billion pesos from the municipality due to losses tied to the inertial rollout of the Integral Transportation System of Tijuana (SITT). In response to these complex situations, the city leaders are working toward launching the trunk line—a significant component of the transportation infrastructure—but must navigate and resolve these legal hurdles first.
This predicament stems from a lack of follow-through on initial agreements from past administrations, particularly around integrating electronic payments—a central feature meant to modernize and streamline services since 2016. As the Sindicatura continues its investigations, the hope is for clarity and a viable path forward that would allow these infrastructure projects to progress while addressing the financial concerns of the involved parties. Meanwhile, the region’s commitment to enhancing public safety and economic policies continues, as seen in other sectors’ budget allocations and strategic initiatives.
