Sustainable Transport - Share Autos
Motorised paratransit such as autorickshaws and share auto-rickshaws are popular across India. They are perfect for short-distance commutes and reaching major public transits. They are fast, easy and plentiful. Regularising this sector by providing route maps, pick up/drop off points and parking spaces, will fully tap into the potential of these modes.

Road Safety - Household Burdens of Road Crashes
Tamil Nadu shows the highest post-crash costs incurred due to income loss. The extra costs on post-crash care or the victim’s funeral destabilises family budgets and increases Out Of Pocket Expenditure, a burden felt more severely by low income households.
