CTE moves procedures to a headquarters in northern Guayaquil after fire at Multicomercio

The Ecuadorian Traffic Commission (CTE) has temporarily relocated its public services to the northern branch in Guayaquil following a fire at the Multicomercio building.

The Ecuadorian Traffic Commission (CTE) has announced a temporary relocation of its public services to the northern branch in Guayaquil due to an unfortunate fire that occurred at the Multicomercio building on February 11. This decision was made to ensure the safety of both the staff and the public, as the original offices located on Cuenca street are now within a closed perimeter due to the incident.

The new public service location will operate at the Comandancia Norte, which is conveniently situated next to the Guayaquil terrestrial terminal. The operational hours for the northern branch will be from Monday to Friday, between 08:30 AM and 04:30 PM. This transition aims to continue providing essential services and processing requests for various institutional procedures amid the disruptions caused by the fire.

This incident highlights the challenges faced by public institutions in maintaining service continuity during emergencies. The CTE's prompt action to relocate services not only addresses immediate operational needs but also demonstrates a commitment to public safety and accessibility during this period of adjustment following the fire at the Multicomercio building.
