New road safety charter,to keep motorcycle couriers safe.
Transport for London (TfL) has teamed up with leading delivery companies to launch a new road safety charter, in a bid to keep motorcycle couriers safe on the capital’s roads.
TfL has developed a Meal and Grocery Delivery Company Motorcycle Road Safety Charter in collaboration with the meal and grocery delivery industry
The charter consists of 10 road safety principles to keep motorcycle couriers and other Londoners safe on the roads
Motorcycles are the highest risk mode of transport on the road. In London in 2020 they made up 2.6 per cent of vehicle kilometres driven *, but tragically accounted for around 27 per cent of deaths and serious injuries from 2017-2021
TfL is committed to working in collaboration with the meal and grocery delivery, courier and servicing industries to identify ways to reduce death and serious injury among riders, in line with its commitment to Vision Zero
Transport for London (TfL) and meal and grocery delivery companies have committed to improving road safety in London with the launch of a new voluntary Meal and Grocery Delivery Company Motorcycle Road Safety Charter. The Charter, signed by five companies: Deliveroo, Getir, Just Eat, Stuart and Uber Eats, consists of 10 road safety principles that aim to keep motorcycle couriers and other Londoners safe on the road. The Charter is part of a range of measures that TfL is taking to make London's streets safer for all who use them, and key to the Mayor's Vision Zero goal of eliminating death and serious injury from the transport network.
