The AMT resumed the process from January 17. Cars that are not retired for more than a year could be auctioned off.
The cars that are in the vehicle retention centers (CRV) of Quito, for violating the Organic Comprehensive Criminal Code (COIP), can now be released by their owners. The Metropolitan Transit Agency (AMT) resumed the process from January 17.
The motorists were retained because their drivers committed infractions or crimes ranging from driving with an expired license to causing a traffic accident that results in the death of one or more people.
According to the AMT, traffic accidents and drunk driving are two of the main causes of retention.
The release process can be carried out from Monday to Friday, from 08:00 to 16:30. In the capital there are nine CRV:
