Ride-hailing firms Grab Philippines and Move It have come out with a road safety training program educating drivers and creating a safer ride-hailing experience for Filipinos.
Thousands of Grab and MOVE IT driver-, rider-, and delivery-partners participated in the ‘Drive Safe: Takbong Swabe, Safe Palagi!’ road safety training program in Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao, and Cagayan De Oro.
The road safety training program focuses on critical aspects of road safety such as defensive driving, vehicle maintenance, and traffic rules and regulations.
Another key highlight is the official launch of two new safety features on the Grab and MOVE IT driver apps: the Fatigue Nudge and the Real-Time Overspeeding Alert.
“Safety is a cornerstone of everything we do. To us, we view safety as a shared responsibility across all our stakeholders – be it passengers, regulators, drivers, and platforms,” Ronald Roda, Grab Philippines chief operating officer said.
“We are continuously innovating our safety and security measures, championing driver skills development, activating cutting-edge safety technology, and collaborating with like-minded partners, to shape a future for ride-hailing that is safe, secure, and responsible,” he added.
