This document summarizes the formation and work of the Vadodara Traffic Education Trust in Vadodara, India. As traffic density increased but police staffing remained unchanged, Yogesh Patel helped establish the Trust in 2008 through a public-private partnership. The Trust recruits and trains volunteers to regulate traffic at intersections and promote traffic awareness. Over 900 volunteers were trained, CCTV cameras installed, and the initiative has helped control congestion while building trust between citizens and police.
