Ola plans campaign to reduce road fatalities

Ola is setting up a road safety council of policy experts to work with the government to reduce road fatalities. The council’s agenda includes the setting up of eye check-ups for 1 million driver partners, gender sensitivity training and first-responder training certification for drivers. Ola’s safety council will also work towards supporting the government’s objective of halving the number of road accidents and deaths by 2020. The government has also constituted a national-level road safety council to take policy decisions in matters of road safety.
