Additionally, Uber and Zomato have joined forces with the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) for the Sadak Suraksha Abhiyan, a countrywide initiative promoting road safety that encourages individuals to avoid haste and prioritize safe arrival. Given the millions of daily trips and deliveries conducted through these platforms, both companies are leveraging their extensive reach to establish road safety as a collective practice throughout India.

Road safety remains a collective obligation, and each responsible decision contributes to preserving lives.
