Street Sense

Streetsense is a road safety organisation that includes representatives from many bikers groups across Pune city , such as local government road safety teams. Streetsense aims to reduce the number and severity of road collisions (and therefore to reduce loss of life and personal injury) by raising awareness of road safety and safer road user behaviour with the road using public, through the provision of training, advice, information, leadership, research, publicity, informed comment and other services to relevant bodies (national and local) and to its members. Streetsense works to develop a range of educational initiatives; many in partnership with other organisations and all widely publicised to encourage the national debate on road safety.
