Islamabad Traffic Police has extended its free scooty training programme for women following an overwhelming response from applicants, providing another opportunity for those who could not secure a place in the first phase.
The initiative is aimed at helping women become more independent by improving their ability to ride scooties safely and travel conveniently across the city.
According to Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Islamabad Kainat Azhar Khan, the programme has been divided into two phases to accommodate the growing number of women interested in receiving training.
Women who missed the opportunity during the first phase will now be able to participate in the second phase, scheduled to run from November 16 to November 30, 2026.
Second Phase Training Dates Announced
Islamabad Traffic Police has announced November 16 to 30 as the revised schedule for the second phase of its free scooty training programme.
The phase was initially scheduled to take place from November 1 to 15. However, following the strong response and increasing number of interested applicants, the authorities extended the arrangement to accommodate more participants.
The decision is expected to benefit women who were unable to secure a training slot earlier and were waiting for another opportunity to join the programme.
The initiative provides women with an opportunity to learn scooty riding without having to pay training fees.
CTO Kainat Azhar Khan Highlights Women’s Empowerment
Chief Traffic Officer Islamabad Kainat Azhar Khan said the programme had been divided into two phases to manage the growing number of applications.
She also indicated that Islamabad Traffic Police would continue introducing similar initiatives for women in the future.
According to the CTO, the department remains committed to empowering women through programmes that promote independent mobility and make everyday travel more accessible.
The initiative reflects the traffic police’s efforts to encourage women to develop practical riding skills and gain confidence while travelling independently.
Free Scooty Training Aims to Promote Independent Mobility
For many women, access to convenient transportation remains an important part of education, employment and everyday activities.
Learning to ride a scooty can provide greater flexibility, particularly for those who regularly travel to workplaces, educational institutions or other destinations.
The free training programme is intended to help women develop the skills needed to ride safely and confidently.
It also supports broader efforts to encourage women’s participation in public life by reducing transportation-related difficulties.
More Opportunities Planned for Women
Islamabad Traffic Police has indicated that it intends to continue launching initiatives focused on women’s empowerment and mobility.
The strong response to the scooty training programme highlights the interest among women in learning practical riding skills and gaining greater independence.
With the second phase scheduled from November 16 to 30, applicants who missed the earlier opportunity will have another chance to benefit from the programme.
Women interested in participating should follow official Islamabad Traffic Police announcements for further information about registration, eligibility and training arrangements.
The extension is expected to help accommodate more applicants while supporting the department’s efforts to make mobility easier and safer for women in Islamabad.
