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]
