Statement of Commitment - Road Safety

Statement of Commitment

Following the meeting with the United Nations Secretary General’s Special Envoy for Road Safety, Mr. Jean Todt, and the United Nations Resident Coordinator in the Philippines, Mr. Arnaud Peral, the private sector partners in the motorcycle transportation, taxi, and delivery sectors, hereby affirm our shared commitment to improving road safety across the Philippines.

We recognize the vital role our industries play in the daily lives of millions of Filipinos. With this responsibility comes the duty to uphold the highest standards of safety for our drivers, passengers, and the communities we serve.

We commit to:

• Strive for the highest safety standards in our operations, guided by evidence-based practices and international benchmarks and as mandated by the Philippines laws, rules and regulations.
• Support and actively engage with government regulators to advocate for the enhancement of road safety policies and protect workers in the transport and delivery sectors
• Encourage safe driving behaviours, including the responsible and minimal use of mobile phones while on duty; zero tolerance for driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs; and diligent observance of mandated and recommended speed limits.
• Promote, advocate for and support the use of UN-standard compliant helmets for all our drivers and riders. 

Together, we pledge to be champions of safer roads and workplaces, and to continuously improve our practices in pursuit of a safer Philippines.

Manila, 11 September 2025
