Pune’s first ever mega road safety walkathon

On February 14, 2024, Drive Smart, Drive Safe (D2S) led Pune's inaugural Mega Road Safety Walkathon, marking a significant milestone in our mission to promote road safety. Over 1,350 participants, including students and professionals, joined this 1 km walk from SSPMS Ground through Mangalwar Peth station and back, collectively contributing 1.5 million safety steps.

This event was part of our "India Against Road Crash, Season 2024" campaign, which aims to raise awareness, encourage responsible driving, and reduce road accidents. A key highlight was the induction of over 1,350 volunteers as Road Safety Warriors, who are committed to establishing Drive Safe Clubs in schools, colleges, and corporate campuses across Pune.

The walkathon concluded with a Mass Pledge of the 8-Point Road Safety Code of Conduct, emphasizing the collective responsibility for road safety. Supported by various organizations, including ACMA, ASDC, ARAI, AISSMS, ASC, AITWA, BOCI, FICCI_FLO, CIRT, Pune City Traffic, Pune Metro, NDRF, Ranjangaon Industries Association, SAE India & ASC, and partnered by Tata Motors, Tata Autocomp, Tata Green Batteries, and Continental India, the event exemplified a unified effort towards enhancing road safety awareness in Pune.

At D2S, we believe that road safety is a collective responsibility, and this walkathon was a testament to the power of community engagement in creating safer roads.
