Motorcycle taxi platform Move It proudly shares that it is elevating industry standards by adopting a safety-first culture in its services. This is made possible through a driver-led and tech-reinforced safety commitment that helps its rider partners deliver a safe riding experience.
To showcase its commitment to safety, Move It reported a 99.999 percent incident-free completion rate across thousands of daily rides. The company said it aims to achieve a perfect rating by focusing on addressing the remaining 0.001 percent of trips.
“Near-perfect isn’t the finish line. Leadership in safety means raising the bar every day – professional riders, real-time protection, and transparent accountability on every single trip,” said Move It General Manager Wayne Jacinto.
The feat was announced during Move It’s Moto-Taxi Road Safety Dialogue, during which a total of 31 Move It ride-partners signed the Katuwang sa Kaligtasan sa Kalsada. Move It explained that this is a pledge that anchors a community-led safety culture across the motorcycle taxi sector.
To ensure that every rider-partner is fit to work, Move It is implementing a Pasado Bago Pasada framework that requires every rider to undergo onboarding training and biannual retraining.
Here are the highlights of Move It’s Pasado Bago Pasada framework:
- Every rider undergoes full government clearance verification. Move It reports 100 percent compliance with document requirements.
- Almost 60 percent of motorcycles pass inspection on the first attempt, underscoring the strict compliance standards for roadworthiness before deployment.
- More than 80 percent of applicants clear the initial skills test, with the remainder retrained until they meet safety benchmarks.
- All riders are mandated to retrain every six months, reinforcing a culture of continuous improvement.
Aside from technical skills, Move It also emphasizes that its rider-partners further improve their decision-making, a crucial factor when riding a motorcycle. Move It said that it has collaborated with Ateneo’s Bulatao Center for Psychological Services to produce a Behavioral Assessment Tool. It is designed to measure how riders make decisions, manage stress, and respond to high-pressure or unexpected situations on the road. This collaboration is set to roll out this quarter.
Move It is also using technology to help its effort in promoting a safety-first culture. Through its strategic partnership with Grab, the platform has strengthened its safety infrastructure to support thousands of rides in real time.
Some of the tech features integrated into the Move It app include live location sharing and in-app SOS integration, passenger and driver verification selfies, and AI-driven trip monitoring. The Move It app also comes with the following features:
- Overspeeding Alerts provide real-time reminders when riders exceed safe limits, reinforcing responsible driving behavior and reducing accident risk.
- Fatigue Nudges monitor trip patterns to detect signs of overwork, prompting riders to take breaks and ensuring they are alert before going on the road.
- AudioProtect records trip audio in the background, giving both riders and passengers added security by providing clear context for investigations and ensuring fairness in resolving disputes or safety-related reports. Audio Protect will be live on Move It in Q4 2025.
Other efforts by Move It that promote a safety-first culture are its mandate to swiftly investigate reported issues by its passengers, having volunteer riders as an emergency response unit, and having all trips insured that covers both passengers and riders, through partnerships with providers including AIG and Cocolife.
