Bolt organised a joint safety and compliance session on Thursday, Oct. 22, bringing together its motorbike and vehicle driver partners with officials from Nairobi City County, the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) and emergency response provider RESCUE.CO.

During the workshop, NTSA highlighted high‑risk behaviours such as speeding, distracted driving, unsafe lane‑splitting and driver fatigue, and walked participants through the core road‑safety obligations they must meet.

The Nairobi County Mobility Department added guidance on local transport by‑laws, parking rules and traffic‑management requirements, giving drivers clearer insight into the regulations governing daily operations in the capital.

RESCUE.CO demonstrated its emergency response platform, showing drivers when and how to activate the service and what steps follow on the ground during an incident.

Bolt’s in‑app safety suite – including Emergency Assist, Trip Sharing, Trusted Contacts, Unsafe Area Alerts and Trip Anomaly Detection – was explained, together with instructions on accurate incident reporting to support Bolt’s Safety team.

Participating drivers signed a formal pledge to obey traffic regulations and commit to safer conduct on Nairobi’s roads.

Benjamin Sulle, Bolt Kenya’s Public Policy Manager, said the engagement reflects the type of collaboration needed to drive meaningful change in urban mobility.

Bolt affirmed it will keep engaging transport authorities, driver partners and other stakeholders on safety education and regulatory awareness as part of its broader effort to support responsible ride‑hailing operations across Nairobi.
