The civic bodies had started collecting city-level fundamental data and information from the citizens for shaping the policy.

The citizens are urged to participate in the survey and help formulate the policy to best-suited for Aurangabad.

The survey asks for citizen details, including age, profession, type of vehicles in use and the various mode of transport of citizens. It gauges public perception in several aspects, including safety and comfort while travelling, transportation fares, parking and fuel expenditure.
