The 30% decrease in Tehran's traffic in October is a significant achievement for the capital's leadership. With the start of the school year and the return of all educational levels to fully operational schools, Tehran has managed to prevent traffic jams, thanks to the collaboration between the police and urban management.
Effective Cooperation Between Police and Urban Management
This positive change in Tehran's traffic situation is the result of the establishment of 5 working groups between urban management and traffic police two months ago. These working groups focused on order and discipline and the enforcement of laws by the police. Ultimately, this interaction and cooperation allowed citizens to spend these days in peace and comfort.

The future of the metro as a service to the people reflects ongoing efforts in urban infrastructure. Tehran Metro, which was handed over with 269 kilometers of track and 141 stations, has now reached 312 kilometers of track and 163 stations. Additionally, it is projected that within the next 7 years, Tehran Metro will reach 517 kilometers and 350 stations, marking a significant leap in infrastructure.
Renewal of Public Transport Fleet
In the bus sector, 83% of Tehran's buses have been renewed, and 2,500 new buses have been added to the fleet. Recently, 31 new buses are entering Tehran. Furthermore, the renewal of the aging bus fleet is also on the agenda, with 700 old buses identified for complete renewal.
At the beginning of the year, special measures were considered in the Tehran Traffic Council to reduce traffic congestion. The result of these measures has led to a 25% reduction in transportation space compared to the previous year. This is particularly evident with the cooperation of esteemed women in girls' schools, who played a special role in improving traffic conditions.
Special Services for Exceptional Children
This year, 18,000 requests have been registered in the Sepand system of the Ministry of Interior, and 5,000 exceptional children in Tehran have been identified to receive free services. This initiative aims to address the concerns of families and provide services to this group of citizens.
In line with environmental preservation and pollution reduction, actions are underway to convert Tehran's working engines to electric. This will reduce noise and air pollution and save gasoline consumption.
The station of Hazrat Abd al-Azim Hasani (PBUH) on Metro Line 6 will soon be inaugurated, featuring nostalgic and Iranian-Islamic designs that will give it a unique identity. According to statistics, metro usage has also increased by about 30%, which helps to alleviate surface congestion.
The commander of Greater Tehran Police also announced the necessary predictions for ensuring order and security in the areas surrounding schools, stating that schools have been cleaned and business units in these areas have been controlled.
