NLEX Drives Change with BiyaHero 2024, Secures Commitment on Road Safety


 
NLEX Corporation continues to ramp up its road safety efforts with another BiyaHero Road Safety Caravan recently held at the SMX Convention Center. 
 
As part of the company’s Mission Road Safety campaign, the caravan aims to foster a safer road environment and boost productivity within the transport sector. It brought together transport organization leaders, drivers, helpers, and mechanics for a comprehensive day of education and engagement.  

“Today, we reaffirm our commitment to making roads safer for everyone,” said J. Luigi L. Bautista, President and General Manager of NLEX Corporation. “Through the BiyaHero Caravan, we equip drivers with essential knowledge and skills to prevent road crashes, traffic violations, and vehicle damage,” Bautista added. 

Beyond this vital road advocacy, the event’s highlight was the ceremonial signing of the Mission Road Safety pledge by key stakeholders and leaders from transport organizations. The impressive list of groups includes the Confederation of Truckers Association of the Philippines (CTAP), Inland Haulers and Truckers Association (INHTA), Haulers and Truckers Association in the Watersouth, Inc. (HATAW), Nagkakaisang Samahan ng Nangangasiwa ng Panlalawigang Bus sa Pilipinas, Inc. (NSNPBPI), Pangkalahatang Sanggunian Manila & Suburbs Drivers Association (PASANG MASDA), Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers Association of the Philippines (ALTODAP), Liga ng Transportasyon at Operators sa Pilipinas (LTOP), Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations (ACTO), Stop and Go Transport Coalition, Bulacan Federation of Transport Cooperative (BUFETRANSCO), Pinagsama Transport Cooperative and UV Express National Alliance of the Philippines. This commitment marks the start of a nationwide campaign to gather one million pledges by 2025 to significantly reduce traffic violations and fatal road crashes. The initiative aligns with the United Nations’ goal of halving road traffic deaths and injuries by 2030.
