Legislative efforts to regulate micromobility and delivery services have progressed in Mexico and Ecuador. In San Luis Potosí, Mexico, a proposed reform to the state Transit Law seeks to mandate helmets for users of electric scooters, bicycles, monocycles, and electric skateboards traveling up to 25 km/h, while prioritizing pedestrian and cyclist safety. In Ecuador, the National Assembly has approved comprehensive reforms to the Organic Law of Land Transport, Traffic, and Road Safety. The legislative package, which awaits final action from President Daniel Noboa, aims to modernize the mobility system, enhance road safety, and combat organized crime. Key provisions include the creation of a National Delivery Registry, which the National Transit Agency (ANT) must implement within one year to identify delivery personnel and vehicles. Safety requirements for delivery personnel ~~now~~ include the use of homologated helmets and reflective vests. The reform also introduces technological updates, such as a mandatory Electronic Vehicle Identification Device and a unified national toll system. New components of the reform mandate that the Agency of Regulation and Control of Transport conduct a national evaluation and categorization of all professional and non-professional driving schools within one year. This assessment will review infrastructure, equipment, curriculum, and instructor numbers; during this period, new driving school applications will be suspended. Additionally, the law requires public and commercial transport operators to maintain personal accident insurance for passengers and modifies the license point recovery process, allowing drivers with 15 points or fewer to recover up to 15 points through an annual course. The reform also increases National Police oversight in border zones to prevent criminal activity. Recent developments indicate the reform may allow the Civil Registry to handle driver's license delivery through inter-institutional agreements to reduce bureaucracy.
