Abstract

The research aimed to develop a “Proposal to enhance the management of land transport, transit, and road safety competencies of the Decentralized Autonomous Government of Caluma Canton, Bolívar Province”. A mixed approach was used for the research, the quantitative method was applied to measure the compliance capacity of the competencies and the qualitative approach was used to understand the competency management implemented by the institution. Information was collected through competency management checklists and an interview with the Director of the Municipal Transit Unit. As a result of the research, it was found that the leadership and planning capacity is 75%, the regulatory capacity is 36%, the service delivery capacity is 63%, and the control generation capacity is 14%. Overall, the management capacity was determined to be 52%. It was concluded that the Municipal Transit Unit lacks sufficient resources, lacks coordination with relevant municipal departments, and lacks an adequate management model for efficient administration of land transport, transit, and road safety competencies. Therefore, it is recommended that the Decentralized Autonomous Government of Caluma Canton consider the implementation of this proposal based on the administrative processes of planning, organizing, directing, and controlling. This is to ensure that the Municipal Transit Unit achieves efficient management of land transport, transit, and road safety competencies.
