Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Intelligent Transport System



Business Line ( 07 Oct ) carries following news :




NITI Aayog panel to work on Intelligent Transport Systems



To work on traffic, parking management and maintain roads in a cost-effective manner, NITI Aayog and International Road Federation on Friday signed a statement of intent to cooperate in Intelligent Transportation Systems.

The collaboration will focus on upgrading the parking situation in the cities, road safety, reducing urban traffic congestion, and improving the security of passenger and traffic.

Announcing the formation of a committee at a roundtable on ITS, Anil Srivastava, Advisor, NITI Aayog, said,

“ The committee developing the National ITS policy will comprise stakeholders from Central, State, foreign ITS companies and private partners who are active in the sector. Also, it will set uniform standards to implement the policy in various parts of the country ”.

He said making a policy was easier, but its implementation was a challenge. The major task of the committee would be to make ITS acceptable in tier II and III cities, he added. Currently, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Surat and Bhopal are the few cities where ITS has been partially implemented.



Dear Shri Anil Srivastavaji ,
