Deliveroo Singapore opens safety programme for riders

The programme targets riders of power-assisted bicycles and personal mobility devices.

Deliveroo announced its Safe Riding Programme (SRP) to educate cyclists and riders of power-assisted bicycles (PABs) and personal mobility devices (PMDs) on safe riding practices covered by the Active Mobility Act.

Monthly sessions will be organised and offered to Deliveroo’s riders across Singapore on a first-come-first-served basis in the coming months. The first session was attended by 40 riders, Deliveroo said.

Deliveroo is also offering 360 guidance by incorporating key content from the SRP curriculum into its existing road safety guidelines.

“Information on how riders can sign up for upcoming SRP sessions will be readily made available, and Deliveroo’s rider operations team will proactively encourage both new and existing riders to attend,” the company said.

Deliveroo riders are currently provided access to hyper-visible safety clothing and equipment, whilst food delivery riders are given accident and injury insurance for free.

Deliveroo Singapore general manager Siddharth Shanker said, “The team is committed to working with the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to make the Safe Riding Programme available to help our 4,000-strong rider fleet stay safe while doing deliveries, as well as be fully in compliance with updated road regulations.”

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
