Ecuador Assembly approves traffic law reforms allowing suspension of municipal transit powers
Ecuador's National Assembly approved Traffic Law reforms on September 3, allowing suspension of municipal transit competencies and regulating delivery services.
Ecuador's National Assembly approved reforms to the Traffic Law in second debate on September 3, splitting the vote between the main body of modifications and the sixth reformatory disposition. [1]
The approved reforms allow the National Transit Agency (ANT) to evaluate municipal transit competencies and issue reports to the National Competencies Council, which could decide to suspend those competencies. [2]
Personal scooters and e-motos are classified as personal mobility vehicles and are strictly prohibited from circulating on state road networks, perimeter roads, and highways. [3]
Diego Salas, assembly member of Revolución Ciudadana, said the reforms were 'a smoke screen' for what he considered a centralist project, criticizing the removal of vehicle registration competency from type C local governments (GAD tipo C) and the transfer of border cantons' management to the National Police. [4]
The sixth reformatory disposition, which would have sanctioned motorcycle delivery drivers not registered in the National Registry of Drivers and Vehicles with a fine of 15% of a unified basic salary and a 4.5-point reduction on their driver's license, received no votes in favor and failed to pass. [5]
The 78-article document will be sent to President Daniel Noboa for a potential veto or publication in the Official Register to enter into force. [6]

Its sources were placed by the desk, never implied. Open each step to go deeper; every hash says what it covers.

How the desk chose them
We do not pick publishers. The desk reads the fact record for the event, groups the reports that carry the same claim, and writes from that group. Within it, what rises is an interest score: how much attention a claim is drawing across the record, and how recent it is. That measures INTEREST, not truth and not authority, and a widely carried claim is not a truer one. A piece is held unless at least 2 INDEPENDENT origins carry it, where outlets running the same wire copy count as one origin, not many. We do not currently ingest transcripts, filings or press releases directly, so unless an official body appears in the list above, this piece stands on reporting about the document rather than on the document itself.
