(Web Desk): Islamabad Traffic Police will offer free scooter training for women from November 1 to 15 to help them travel independently.

Free training to begin in November

Islamabad Traffic Police will arrange the training at Uraan Driving School under the guidance of experienced female police officers. The programme aims to help women learn practical scooter-riding skills in a supervised setting.

Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Kainat Azhar Khan said the initiative is designed to give women more confidence when travelling. She added that learning to ride a scooter could provide them with a more convenient way to manage daily journeys.

Female officers to guide participants

Female police officers will supervise the training sessions and help participants learn how to ride scooters. The programme will give women an opportunity to practise their skills with guidance from trained staff.

The department says the initiative is part of its efforts to support women’s independence and make daily travel easier. The training is free, allowing participants to learn without paying a course fee.

Women encouraged to join the programme

Islamabad Traffic Police has encouraged women to take advantage of the training opportunity during the first half of November. The sessions are scheduled to run from November 1 to 15 at Uraan Driving School.

Women interested in joining should seek further details from Islamabad Traffic Police about registration, eligibility and training timings. These details were not included in the announcement provided.

A step towards easier daily travel

Learning to ride a scooter can give women another option for travelling to work, education and other daily activities. The programme’s benefits will depend on access to training and the ability of participants to use their skills safely on the road.

The free training programme may help women gain confidence and become more independent in their daily travel. Clear registration details and continued road-safety guidance could help more women benefit from the initiative.
