  • Improved public health: By prioritizing active mobility, India could improve public health outcomes and reduce the burden of chronic diseases.
  • Reduced air pollution: By promoting active mobility and reducing the use of motor vehicles, India could significantly reduce air pollution levels and improve air quality.
  • Increased economic productivity: Active mobility can increase economic productivity by reducing traffic congestion, improving the efficiency of the transportation system, and reducing transportation costs for individuals and businesses.
  • Improved urban planning: Prioritizing active mobility can lead to better urban planning and design, including the development of more pedestrian-friendly streets, dedicated cycling infrastructure, and improved public transportation systems.
  • Reduced carbon footprint: Transportation is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, and prioritizing active mobility can significantly reduce India's carbon footprint.
  • Enhanced social inclusion: Prioritizing active mobility can improve social inclusion by providing more accessible and affordable transportation options for lowincome communities and marginalized groups.
  • Improved quality of life: Prioritizing active mobility can improve the quality of life for citizens by reducing traffic congestion, improving air quality, promoting physical activity, and enhancing social connections and community engagement.

In conclusion, the Active Mobility Bill in India can have several positive outcomes on health, fossil fuel import bill, transport cost, environment conservation, and time saved by reducing congestion. However, the success of the bill depends on effective implementation and the cooperation of all stakeholders, including the government, private sector, and the public.
