On the AP-1: There are two different sections:
  1. Section 1: Between Etxabarri-Ibiña and Eskoriatza: In order to benefit from the subsidy for this section, the user must incur a monthly cost of more than 15 Euros including VAT. This amount will be charged to the user and the rest will be 100% subsidized with a limit of 50 monthly trips.
  2. Section 2: Between Eskoriatza and Maltzaga. In order to benefit from the subsidy for this section, the user must incur a monthly cost of more than 60 Euros including VAT. This amount will be charged to the user and the rest will be 100% subsidized with a limit of 50 monthly trips.

For the calculation of the subsidy, those journeys in which the toll passes are made through the toll stations of the AP-68 freeway between Bilbao and Zambrana (the latter included) will be taken into account. The amount of the subsidy will be determined by applying a discount of 60 percent to the total amount including VAT of the trips made, provided that 15 or more trips are made per month. Important note: For the calculation of the subsidy, those trips that include all or part of the indicated sections will be taken into account. E.g…. If the Areta – Haro route is made, for this route to be subsidized, the departure must be made in Zambrana.

The person in charge of the Department of Road Infrastructures and Mobility of the Provincial Council of Alava, after checking the applications submitted each month in accordance with the criteria set out in the call, will issue the appropriate resolution, including those applicants who have acquired the status of beneficiaries, as well as rejected applications, indicating the reason for the rejection.
