2. The Beginning
 Mr. Yogesh Patel (ex-armyman) is a
dealer of TVS motors in Vadodara
 He believed that to build a brand, it
was necessary to engage people at
grass root level
 His experience tells him that better
brand image can be formed if people
associate and remember it for long
term
 Therefore he started using TVS
marketing revenue for innovative and
socially good campaigns
 This lead to the establishment of
Vadodara Traffic Educational Trust
(VTET)

3. The Problem
 Stagnant number of roads in the city
 Rapid growth of vehicles in recent times
It is estimated that in 2008 Vadodara had 5
Lakh vehicles but nearly same number of roads as
in 90’s
 Shortage of traffic police and parking space

4. Vadodara in 1947

5. Vadodara in 2008
Same street but with no space for pedestrian and parking

6. Need of hour
Based on the number of junctions in Vadodara, the
city needs 529 personnel to manage and
administrator traffic
(Considering 20% on leave, the actual number is
647 personnel)
However, at present total manpower available is
267; effectively bringing working traffic police to 100

7. The Solution
To make volunteer
based traffic
brigade

8. The Solution - 2
 This problem was solved by establishing
Vadodara Traffic Educational Trust (VTET), a
pseudonym for Volunteer Traffic Brigade
 VTET objectives include –
 Enforcement: To support police in traffic regulation
 Education: To create awareness about traffic rules
and regulations amongst citizens
 Engineering: To build a strong traffic engineering
system

9. Role of VTET
VTET ensures
 Administrative functions
 Financial functions
 Supervision (to stop unethical practice)
VTET does not enforce traffic rules but assists
police in managing traffic rules and regulations

10. Role of VTET -2
 To offer permanent solution and prevent accident
and losses due to poor diving and ignorance of
traffic rules by drivers and pedestrians.
 To make Vadodara better place to move

11. VTET Success Story
 In first phase, more than 1000 people applied for
300 vacancies.
 In second phase, there were 700 applicants for
150 vacancies
 Nearly 60% of the applicants belong to tribal
category
 Active participation from women candidate
(Woman volunteers prove more effective than their
male counterparts because violators do not argue
with women)

12. SWOT Analysis
Strengths Weakness Opportunities Threats
•VTET volunteers are •Volunteers cannot issue •Same model can be •Volunteer retention -
more effective than challan and hence copied for other system They go for job in
regular traffic police in people refuse listening like crowd management security services
managing traffic because them •Recruitment of • Administrative problem
of better training •Localities often break volunteers into main • Authoritative problem -
small rules in their area traffic police possible clashes
and then try using their • Inculsion of lower between volunteer and
contacts to escape law section of society police personnel
•Politicians try to intrude • Bribing -
into the system Volunteers start forging

13. Environmental Sustainability
 If we observe this model very minutely we find that it
conserves energy on the basic level i.e. properly
managed traffic reduces vehicle fuel consumption and
produces less pollution.
 the model also tend to reduce tear-and-wear of
vehicle and traffic equipment.
 On the man power side, this model provides
opportunity for backward classes
and unemployed youth to connect with the main
society
 As their is always dire need of traffic personnel and
increase in vehicular traffic, the model is very
sustainable

14. Impact on Stakeholders
 Volunteers - they are awarded allowance and
rewards. Mainstreaming of tribal
 Police - Additional help
 Commuters - They learn traffic rules and
regulations
 Govt - It can focus on other needs of society

15. Social Equity Focus
 There are no ranks in traffic brigade except
trustee hierarchy.
 Volunteers belong to different strata of society but
mostly from tribal areas. Its excellent model for
up-liftment of backward classes economically and
socially.

16. Scalability
 Some volunteer/trustee PPP model can be
replicated in other areas in other cities.
 It cannot grow vertically but horizontally

17. Can this be next practice?
 Similar PPP models are in operation for other
projects but they lack society involvement
 This model is excellent in terms of social inclusion
and imperative for today's city needs.
 We believe this can be the next practice and
should be followed all over India.
