Safety, protection program MOVE IT

Homegrown motorcycle taxi company Move It strengthened its commitment to providing safe and secure transportation to its passengers and rider-partners when it launched the “Malasakit sa Biyahe Safety and Protection Program,” a multi-pronged initiative focused on key safety elements such as skills assessment and development; technology and report mechanisms; and rider and vehicle roadworthiness. 

Every aspiring Move It rider-partner undergoes a rigorous identification; and skills and vehicular roadworthiness assessment process. Rider-partners are now also required to do an annual mandatory retraining and vehicle inspection. 

Move It also partnered with various organizations and agencies in the implementation of capacity-building programs that cover topics such as road safety, passenger handling, and vehicle maintenance with MMDA, PNP, and Cemex in the pursuit of these programs.  

“Bilang isa sa mga participants ng motorcycle taxi pilot study, isang napakahalagang aspeto ng aming serbisyo sa Move It ang kaligtasan – hindi lamang ng aming mga pasahero kundi pati ng bawat kuya at ate ng kalsada. Hindi lamang po pangako ang ‘kaligtasan’ para sa amin; bagkus ito ay bahagi na ng aming prinsipyo. Kaya patuloy ang ating pagpapalawig ng mga programa, alituntunin at tech features upang  mas mapaigting ang  kaligtasan ng ating bawat biyahe. Malayo na ang ating narating pagdating dito at patuloy pa tayong mag-iimprove para sa bawat pasaherong patuloy na nagtitiwala at tumatangkilik sa aming serbisyo, at maging sa mga riders na umaasa  sa Move It para sa kanilang pang-araw-araw na kabuhayan,” Move It general manager Wayne Jacinto said.

The very first Move It Kaligtasan Center, located at the Move It-Grab warehouse in Marikina, is a designated facility for all skills development and assessment activities and will soon evolve to house dedicated help desks for rider and passenger concerns.

Move It also offers its rider partners access to its very own Move It Academy, an in-app online learning platform featuring safety-focused e-learning content and there are already 150,000 safety courses completed by rider-partners.
