Rewards, discounted rides await Grab users who get vaccinated

MANILA: The Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) have teamed up with Grab Philippines to provide rewards, discounted rides, and other benefits to Filipinos who are vaccinated against COVID-19.

In a statement, the DOTr said, “With the crucial role being played by transportation to make sure that many industries function amid the pandemic and achieve swift economic recovery, inoculating transport stakeholders nationwide is a crucial step to bring back commuter confidence in using public transportation.”

Through the GrabBayanihan Vaccination Support Program, Grab Philippines uses its platform to help boost vaccine access and awareness among users and partners.

DOTr Secretary Art Tugade stated, “We need to continuously work together to accelerate vaccination efforts in our communities, most especially our stakeholders in the transport sector. We are working for them to gain necessary access, information, and means to get vaccinated so that together, as one strong transport community, we can help win the fight against COVID.”

He added, “Kailangan nating ibalik ang kumpiyansa ng mga tao sa paggamit ng pampublikong transportasyon. Kung bakunado ka, mas protektado ka laban sa COVID. We thank the LTFRB and Grab Philippines for this partnership. Malaking tulong ito para mahikayat at mas maging kumpiyansa ang ating mga kababayan na magpabakuna (We need to bring back the confidence of the people in using public transport. If you are vaccinated, you gain added protection against COVID. We thank the LTFRB and Grab Philippines for this partnership. This will be of great help to encourage our countrymen to get inoculated).”

The DOTr, LTFRB, and Grab Philippines have initiated several programs to encourage more transport stakeholders get vaccinated. They have launched the “Vacced Ka Na Ba?” nationwide campaign that gives Grab promo vouchers to vaccinated users every time they submit their vaccination cards via Grab. Participants can also get a chance to win up to P250,000 in their GrabPay accounts. To learn more about this program, log on to grab.com/ph/blog/grab-ph-vacc-to-normal/.

Grab Philippines will also give discounted rides to individuals going to and from various vaccination sites through GrabCar Bayanihan, a dedicated fleet consisted of vaccinated driver-partners with fares priced 15% lower than regular GrabCar rides.

The GrabCar Bayanihan will also be extended to all transport stakeholders who will be inoculated in the DOTr’s vaccination hub at the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX).

The DOTr, LTFRB, and Grab Philippines are also planning to launch mobile vaccination hubs. Grab Philippines will provide these mobile vaccination hubs with DOH-accredited medical personnel who will administer the vaccine doses. Grab will also give out parts of its procured vaccines to the mobile vaccination hubs.

LTFRB Chairman Martin Delgra III said, “The fight against COVID-19 is far from over, and this collaboration between the DOTr, LTFRB, and Grab Philippines is a testament to how both the public and private sector can work together, combine its resources and efforts, towards a shared mission of protecting the lives and livelihoods of our transport stakeholders and our broader Filipino communities. Once again, we are pleased to be working with Grab Philippines in this meaningful cooperation, and we hope that our transport stakeholders will join us in this fight against COVID-19.”

Grab Philippines will also be conducting surveys across its stakeholders and share relevant data to the DOTr and LTFRB to help them improve their policy and regulatory approaches on the transportation sector, especially with regards to vaccination policies.

Grab Philippines Country Head Grace Vera Cruz stated, “As we all strive our best to win the battle against COVID-19, we are reinforcing our commitment to the DOTr and the LTFRB in supporting their vaccination efforts for our transportation stakeholders. We believe that by getting more of our transport stakeholders inoculated, we are doing right by our communities, help enhance socio-economic activities, and boost our prospects of recovery.”
