LAHORE – The Lahore Traffic Police has established a women-only scooty driving school at Liberty Market under the Punjab government’s Women on Wheels initiative, aimed at improving women’s mobility and promoting their economic empowerment.
Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Syed Abdul Raheem Shirazi said the centre will operate on a women-to-women service model, with female instructors providing scooty and car driving lessons in a safe and supportive environment.
According to the CTO, the Lahore Traffic Police has so far trained more than 7,000 women in scooty riding and car driving through its training centres across the city. With the inauguration of the Liberty Market facility, the total number of women’s driving schools in Lahore has increased to 12.
Shirazi said the training programme extends beyond practical driving lessons and also includes basic electrical and mechanical knowledge to help participants carry out routine vehicle maintenance and deal with minor mechanical issues.
He added that all driving schools are equipped with modern facilities to ensure quality training while maintaining a secure learning environment for women.
