Ciclopaseo in Quito, Ecuador

Nowadays the local traffic law enforcement organisation (Agencia Metropolitana de Tránsito by the Spanish name) is administering the project.

A route of 30 km running from the North to South of the city is closed to traffic every Sunday from 8 am until 2 pm to give preference to cyclists and pedestrians.

The Ciclopaseo began 2005 by doubling its frequency to every fifteen days[6] and in May 2009 became a weekly event and takes place every Sunday.

[7] In 2016, local media had reported a perceived conflict of interest with Ciclopolis‘ executives and a City official (Diego Puente) working at the time for the Secretariat of Mobility, following a polemic increase in the operation cost of Ciclopaseo.

[8] In 2017, the operation of Ciclopaseo was handed to the local municipal traffic enforcement agency (AMT), who also began to administer the City's bike share program.
