Ahmedabad is going through a wildly optimistic phase at the moment. Business appears to be booming, real estate prices have shot to never-before levels, and people are feeling good about themselves.There is talk of giving Mumbai a run for its money and turning Ahmedabad into a finance hub. We do have better infrastructure and certainly more room to grow and build a really modern world class city.
But we don’t have the governance to allow this to happen.
Ahmedabad has very bad traffic conditions. There is utter chaos and anarchy on the roads. It’s almost as if no one is in charge.
Out of desperation a group of citizens have come together to form the Ahmedabad Traffic Committee. Spearheaded by Gauri Wagenaar, who puts in a lot of time and effort, this is a loosely knit group of sincere and concerned citizens.
This website invites you to come be part of this effort, whoever you are. Even the smallest contribution is welcome.
Would you, for example, take out a few moments to distribute leaflets? Even that would be much appreciated.
Leave a comment below with your contact details and ideas. All suggestions and participation is more than welcome.

So finally we even have a blog site. Thank you Rajivbhai, good start to 2008.
We hope to take our activities further this coming year and are confident that as long as Mr. Bhati is office he will cooperate with our initiatives.
We need to get catchy banners at key locations in the city spreading the message

My compliments for the initiative, Rajiv. Well let's hope this reaches out to people other than our own group! In any case it's worth having a platform on the net to voice your concerns in the public domain. Let's see the response. I might suggest another alternative blog site, where i visibly find a lot of Amdavadis. I'm not sure if they r many on blogspot. But yes this is otherwise very well-known! Once again all the best!

Welcome to Ahmedabad and welcome to Ahmedabad Traffic.
This initiative is welcome and it is very appropriate. Let us all encourage our friends and relatives to be part of it and become conscious ambassadors of safe and proper driving habits.
