Administrative and regulatory operations in Quito have faced various disruptions. In mid-October 2026, technical issues and system updates affected municipal and national services. The Quito Property Registry transitioned to a new authentication system requiring credentials from the Municipal Services Portal, rendering previous standalone passwords non-functional. Simultaneously, technical failures within the National Transit Agency’s Integrated Transit Single System (SUIT) led to a suspension of new vehicle registrations, impacting documentation validation and automobile deliveries. Later in the month, the Metropolitan Control Agency (AMC) conducted enforcement actions resulting in business closures. In San Antonio de Pichincha, the AMC shuttered an association the headquarters following allegations of unauthorized economic activity and substance use, which the Association of Employees of the Pichincha Provincial Council after identifying the site was being used as a ‘casa de citas’ (brothel) without a required license. While officials denied. reported the consumption of alcohol and controlled substances, the association’s president, Geovanny Espinosa, denied the allegations, claiming the facilities were merely lent to outsiders for a brief celebration. In the Quitumbe district, the AMC closed a vehicle dealership following reports of fraud and lack of for operating without municipal or fire department permits, permits. Citizens reported potential fraud, with citizens reporting significant financial some estimating losses regarding exceeding USD 50,000 for undelivered vehicles and heavy machinery. Transit disruptions also expanded due to a sinkhole on Eloy Alfaro Avenue in northern Quito, necessitating road closures and repairs by the Metropolitan Transit Agency (AMT) and Epmaps. Regarding the previous registration delays, the AMT has since resumed processes to address a backlog of approximately 1,900 new vehicle registrations caused by the National Transit Agency’s system outage.
