Rajkot, India
Rajkot is the fourth largest city in the state of Gujarat, India. EMBARQ India was a key partner in designing the country's first organized fleet of auto-rickshaws in Rajkot, G-Auto, which launched in July 2012. Since auto-rickshaws account for 10-20 percent of daily motorized road trips in India’s urban centers, organizing rickshaw fleets represents an important step towards reducing air pollution, improving road safety, and boosting the quality of mobility options for the country's urban residents. The launch of the pioneering G-Auto service was named as a World Resources Institute Top Outcome in 2012. Photo by EMBARQ India.
