The Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) has announced its collaboration with the Geospatial Information Science and Engineering (GISE) Hub at IIT Bombay to overhaul the city's traffic management plan. According to TMC Chief Saurabh Rao, the revamped plan will be designed to address the city's growing traffic challenges and plan for long-term improvements.

The revised traffic management strategy will be a year-long project, spearheaded by experts from the GISE Hub at IIT Bombay. The plan will focus on several key aspects, including evaluating current traffic provisions, studying existing traffic patterns, and devising solutions to manage the city's transportation needs effectively through to 2030. Thane is a rapidly growing urban area, and peak-hour traffic congestion has long been a major concern.
