Pune boasts commendable figures in non-motorised and public transport, accounting for 53 percent of mode share trips. However, this positive trajectory is at risk of reversal. Data from 2016-17 reveals concerning statistics: Pune accommodates 2.3 million two-wheelers and 700,000 four-wheelers. A particularly alarming fact emerges—Pune ranks second in vehicle density among Indian cities, with 1,260 vehicles per kilometre. This stark reality prompted city administrators to recognize the urgency of preemptive measures for urban mobility. 

We believe that creating Healthy Streets—streets that prioritise walking, cycling, and access to public transport—will not only improve road safety but also reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve access to economic opportunities, and create a people-friendly city for all.
