Explanation:
Fue lo primero que pensé... quizás te sirva. Si miras el enlace, dice cuales son los "equivalentes" en otros países, por ejemplo, en España es "Spain - Dirección General de Tráfico" que creo que es básicamente lo mismo, ¿no?

Directorate for transport regulation


Explanation:
dirección general = directorate (since the head of it is a Director General) - see the divsions of the European Commission (DG's)
I think you need "regulation" in the phrase because this is obviously a Regulator rather than just a Department of Transport per se,
