GovPay Spot-Fine System Launched in Western Province and on Highways

The spot fine payment system via GovPay was officially launched today (28 July) across the Western Province and on Sri Lanka’s highways, enabling motorists to settle traffic fines digitally and instantly.

The announcement was made by Minister of Transport, Highways, Ports, and Civil Aviation, Bimal Rathnayake, during a press briefing held earlier today.

Minister Rathnayake confirmed that the relevant traffic officers have been trained to ensure the smooth rollout of the system. As part of the initiative, 1,000 traffic police officers will be issued mobile phones today to facilitate real-time fine issuance and payments in the field.

He also expressed appreciation for the Ministry of Digital Affairs, recognizing its strong support and coordination in launching the system swiftly and efficiently.
