Move It, MMDA strengthen partnership for road safety

MOVE IT strengthens its commitment to road safety in partnership with the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).

The motorcycle taxi company donated brand-new helmets to MMDA's Motorcycle Riding Academy (MRA), making two-wheel training courses more accessible to aspiring and current riders.

MRA offers free training sessions led by expert instructors for both beginners and experienced riders.

Since participants must bring their own gear, the donated helmets help remove barriers to joining the program.

This initiative continues Move It's long-standing collaboration with MMDA, which includes road safety courses and its in-app learning platform, the Move It Academy.

Move It has also donated equipment such as agility cones, rider vests and tents to support the academy.

Move It General Manager Wayne Jacinto highlights the need for education as the two-wheel community grows.

"Motorists must have access to programs that promote road safety. This is why Move It fully supports initiatives like MRA," he said. "Road safety is a shared responsibility, and platforms, government agencies and stakeholders must work together."

MMDA Chairman Romando Artes thanked Move It for its continued support.

"A united industry stance is essential in promoting road safety and discipline. This is just the first of many initiatives MMDA and Move It will launch this year," he said.
