The programme focuses on practical riding skills, road safety and awareness of traffic rules. Participants are learning how to operate scooters, understand road signs, follow traffic regulations and handle different situations while riding on public roads.
The training sessions are being conducted under the supervision of professional and trained instructors, ensuring that women receive proper guidance in a supportive learning environment.
This initiative is an important step towards encouraging independent mobility among women in Islamabad. Many women rely on public transport or family members for daily travel, which can sometimes make commuting difficult. Learning to ride a scooter can provide greater flexibility for students, working women and those who need to travel regularly.

The programme also highlights the importance of road safety and responsible driving. Knowing traffic laws and developing practical riding skills can help new riders become more confident and careful road users.
Through Uraan Driving School, Islamabad Traffic Police is working to make scooter training more accessible to women and encourage them to learn a useful skill without paying training fees.
The initiative sends a positive message that women should have equal opportunities to develop their skills, travel independently and participate confidently in everyday life.
