In partnership with GMCA, TfGM, police, and fire services, the charter sets safety standards for couriers using bikes and e-bikes. It promotes legal, responsible riding, realistic delivery times, and the reporting of injury collisions. As demand for delivery rises, this initiative supports Greater Manchester’s Vision Zero goal to eliminate road deaths by 2040. Regular ‘days of action’ and enforcement by police will ensure compliance. Companies will also educate couriers on e-bike safety and collaborate with public agencies to enhance safety measures for both riders and the public.<br><a href="https://news.tfgm.com/press-releases/3135c14b-c6c3-45c8-b939-3339fd13607d/uk-s-biggest-food-delivery-companies-sign-new-charter-to-help-make-greater-manchester-roads-safer" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">news.tfgm.com/press-releases/3</span><span class="invisible">135c14b-c6c3-45c8-b939-3339fd13607d/uk-s-biggest-food-delivery-companies-sign-new-charter-to-help-make-greater-manchester-roads-safer</span></a></p>
