Motorcycle taxi company MOVE IT has donated brand new helmets to the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority’s (MMDA) Motorcycle Riding Academy (MRA).
The MRA offers free riding training sessions conducted by expert instructors, with a curriculum designed for both beginners and experienced riders. As participants are required to bring their personal gear, the donation of brand new helmets helps lower barriers to participation in the free course.
This donation continues the ongoing partnership between MOVE IT and the MMDA. Previous collaborations include MMDA-facilitated road safety courses for MOVE IT’s rider-partners, both on-ground and through the MOVE IT Academy app. The moto-taxi platform also previously donated equipment such as agility cones, rider vests, and tents.
MOVE IT General Manager Wayne Jacinto underscores the importance of training and education as the community of two-wheel drivers, whether private riders or motorcycle taxi service providers, continues to grow.
“Napakahalaga po ng pagkakaroon ng access ng ating mga two-wheel motorists sa mga educational programs na may layunin na gawing mas safety-centered ang pagmamaneho natin sa daan,” Jacinto said.
“Kaya po buong pusong suporta ang MOVE IT sa mga programa gaya ng MRA. Ang road safety ay responsibilidad ng lahat ng mga transport stakeholders kaya mahalaga na tayong lahat—mula sa mga platforms hanggang sa ating mga government agencies—ay sama-sama at tulong-tulong sa pagsigurado na nagagawa nating mas ligtas ang ating mga kalsada sa bawat araw,” he added.
