Move It promotes road safety among riders through extensive training program

MANILA: Motorcycle taxi service provider Move It demonstrates its commitment to road safety through extensive training for its riders.

Move It understands the crucial role that education and skill development play in promoting road safety that is why they established a lifecycle training and refresher program for the riders. The program covers emergency response, passenger handling, pillion safety guide, and standard operating procedure for road safety.

On Tuesday, Move It hosted the Road Safety Lunch & Learn session and invited road safety advocates, including Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) New Task Force Special Operations Head Col. Edison Nebrija, to give talks to the riders.

According to Move It General Manager Wayne Jacinto, this initiative is part of the training program that riders undergo to ensure that they always keep safety in mind while on the road.

“Simula siya ng ginagawa nating continuous learning para sa mga riders (This is the start of the continuous learning that we facilitate for our riders),” Jacinto said.

Nebrija commended Move It for facilitating such programs to promote road safety among riders. “These types of initiatives support our agency’s efforts to reduce road accidents. Aside from serving commuters to efficiently travel through traffic gridlock, all industry players and stakeholders must work together to maintain above-par safety practices and discipline – and we are thankful that Move It is taking this role very seriously,” he said.

Educational content is also available on Move It Academy, an in-app online learning feature. According to Jacinto, this can be accessed by the riders anytime.

“Safety is an integral pillar of our seven-point manifesto for every Filipino commuter. To deliver on this promise, every Move It partner undergoes a stringent skills assessment exercise prior to going online on the platform. Once activated, we also ensure that our thousands of Kuya ng Kalsada have access to essential learning opportunities as they elevate their skills as professional motorcycle taxi servicemen,” Jacinto said.
