Grab PH launches road safety training program for drivers and delivery partners

MANILA: Grab Philippines yesterday launched its first Ka-Grab Safety Ambassador Boot Camp, at the recently opened Grab Driver Training Center in Marikina City.

In partnership with road safety experts and government agencies like the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), Highway Patrol Group (HPG), and the Land Transportation Office (LTO), the Ka-Grab Safety Ambassador Boot Camp provides training  for 150 Grab drivers and delivery partners.

The participants of the camp program will receive road safety training and exclusive perks and benefits. The training sessions include Tactical Skills Training for delivery partners, LTO Practicum Tests, and theoretical training sessions simulating various traffic conditions. The drivers and delivery partners also participated in a one-day comprehensive training with Road Safety Experts and were certified as Road Safety Ambassadors.

Aside from the Ka-Grab Safety Ambassador Boot Camp, drivers and delivery partners have exclusive access to other specialized road safety education and training programs, such as Ka-Grab Kamustahan road safety webinars that discuss fundamental road safety topics including Road Safety and Defensive Driving, Transportation Rules and Regulation, and Proper Behavior and Attitude on the Road; and Ka-Grab Henyo quiz games that give away exciting prizes such as laptops, tablets, gas, and grocery vouchers.

In a statement, Grab Philippines Driver Operations Head Wayne Jacinto said, “Being on the road is central to Grab’s day-to-day operations, and we are optimistic that through various road safety education programs, we are empowering our drivers and delivery partners to be road safety stewards within their communities while continuing to strengthen our ongoing advocacy for a safer and and more efficient use of our thoroughfares.”
