| description | This article analyses the bureaucratic structure of the Ecuadorian Transit Commission (CTE), an institution that oversees transport management and safety, in a Weberian and autonomy-based approach. The study employs structural measurement tools designed by Peter Evans and James Rauch. The assessment of bureaucratic performance, based on career, salary and merit indices, suggests that the CTE has good institutional capacity (8.17/10.0 points). However, its institutional autonomy is low and is an institution that is politically permeable to the intervention of different state actors from the executive and municipal branches. In addition, the Law on Surveillance Corps Personnel (1970) and the focus on old institutional structures affect bureaucratic performance. Finally, civil servants perceive that the CTE does not promote policies that support a strategic sector for the national economy, such as transport, although it arguably can do so. |

Este artículo analiza, en clave weberiana y de autonomía, la estructura burocrática de la Comisión de Tránsito del Ecuador (CTE), institución que supervisa la gestión y seguridad del transporte. El estudio emplea herramientas de medición estructural diseñadas por Peter Evans y James Rauch. La medición del rendimiento burocrático, a partir de los índices de carrera, salario y merito, sugiere que la CTE tiene una buena capacidad institucional (8,17/10,0 puntos). No obstante, su autonomía institucional es baja y es una institución permeable, en lo político, frente a la intervención de diferentes actores estatales del Poder Ejecutivo y municipal. El rendimiento burocrático está mediado también por la desactualizada Ley de Personal del Cuerpo de Vigilancia (1970) y la atención en antiguas estructuras institucionales. Por último, los funcionarios perciben que la CTE no impulsa políticas que sostengan un sector estratégico para la economía nacional como el transporte, aunque tendría capacidad para hacerlo.
