Our Objectives

To promote walking, cycling and use of public transport as envisaged in the National Urban Transport Policy of India and aid sustainable city development with regards to mobility

To achieve cities with sustainable mobility with complete walkable and cycle-able infrastructure leading to healthy communities. Sustainable mobility systems, in turn, will help to curb physical inactivity, reduce air pollution, achieve safer roads and support inclusive development of Indian cities.

To promote social inclusion irrespective of gender, age, religion, abilities on streets and public spaces. To include vulnerable population, old population, differently abled, women and children in the spaces as emphasised in Sustainable Development Goals 11.7 and 5.2

To devise mechanism/demonstrate model streets that can assure ‘safe’, ‘inclusive’ and ‘complete’ city roads/streets. Especially by encouraging street vending as activity generator, ‘eyes on street’ and streets being used for economic practices.

To create awareness about road safety and develop, safer infrastructure for vulnerable road users. To achieve “zero” death fatalities on Indian roads and develop a stepwise method for infrastructure rectification to avoid road crashes, as also highlighted in SDG 3.6
