The Islamabad Traffic Police has announced a free scooty training programme for women from November 1 to 15 as part of its efforts to promote women’s empowerment, independence and safer mobility.
According to the Islamabad Traffic Police spokesperson, the initiative has been introduced to help women become more confident and self-reliant in their daily travels.
Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Kainat Azhar Khan said the department was taking important steps to empower women by providing them with opportunities to learn practical driving skills and travel independently.
Under the programme, women will receive free practical training in scooty riding at the Uraan Driving School in Islamabad. The training sessions will be conducted under the supervision of experienced female police officers to ensure proper guidance and support for participants.
Kainat Azhar Khan said enabling women to travel safely, confidently and independently remained a key priority for the Islamabad Traffic Police.
She added that improving women’s confidence and helping them become self-reliant in their everyday commutes were among the department’s primary objectives.
The initiative is aimed at equipping women with the skills needed to ride scooties safely and giving them greater flexibility in managing their daily transportation needs. It is also expected to create new opportunities for women to commute independently for work, education and other routine activities.
The Islamabad Traffic Police said the programme reflected its commitment to facilitating women through practical initiatives designed to improve their mobility and independence.
The chief traffic officer urged women to take full advantage of the free training opportunity and participate in the programme.
The initiative comes as efforts to improve women’s access to safe and independent transportation continue to gain importance, particularly in urban areas where commuting can pose challenges for women.
Through the free scooty training programme, the Islamabad Traffic Police aims to encourage greater confidence among women while promoting safer and more independent travel across the federal capital.
