SafeBoda Partners with Legacy Road Safety Initiative On Road Safety Marathon
SafeBoda, the number one ride-hailing platform in Uganda, has announced its partnership with the Legacy Road Safety Initiative for their highly anticipated second Road Safety Marathon. The event is scheduled to take place on July 23, 2023, at Nakasero Primary School in Kampala, starting from 7 am and concluding at 1 pm.
The Road Safety Marathon aims to raise awareness about road safety and promote responsible behavior on Uganda’s roads. To participate in this important event, individuals are encouraged to contribute a registration fee of 25,000 shillings. The proceeds will support the Legacy Road Safety Initiative’s efforts to assist crash victims and save limbs through various medical interventions and awareness campaigns.
SafeBoda has been a strong advocate for road safety in Uganda since its inception. As a company that operates a large fleet of motorcycle taxis and cars, SafeBoda is acutely aware of the risks faced by road users and is dedicated to promoting safer roads across the country. Through this partnership with the Legacy Road Safety Initiative, SafeBoda reaffirms its commitment to the well-being of the community it serves.
Recognizing the power of media and technology, SafeBoda leverages its vast reach to support road safety initiatives. Through its media platforms, which reach over 150,000 people, SafeBoda will actively promote the Road Safety Marathon, urging individuals to participate and contribute towards a safer road environment. Additionally, SafeBoda’s in-app communication, which reaches over 750,000 people per day, will be utilized to disseminate important road safety messages to its extensive user base.
Road safety activists and promoters are urged to join and support this noble cause. By coming together, they can make a significant impact on reducing road accidents and fostering a culture of safety on Uganda’s roads. The hashtags #RunForCrashVictims and #RunToSaveALimb will be used to generate awareness and encourage discussions around road safety leading up to the marathon.
“SafeBoda is deeply committed to promoting road safety in Uganda,” said Ricky Rapa Thomson, Co-Founder & Director of SafeBoda. “We believe that by partnering with organizations like the Legacy Road Safety Initiative and supporting events like the Road Safety Marathon, we can raise awareness, inspire change, and save lives. We encourage all road safety activists and promoters to join hands with us and support this cause.”
SafeBoda’s dedication to promoting road safety in Uganda extends beyond their partnership with the Legacy Road Safety Initiative. The company continues to invest in safety training for its drivers, implements stringent safety measures, and works closely with local authorities to improve road infrastructure. Through these concerted efforts, SafeBoda strives to make a tangible difference in reducing road accidents and protecting the lives of all road users.
