At Unitrans we believe safety is not a destination, but an ongoing journey. A belief that drive our teams’ efforts to constantly implement new and improved driver programmes and systems to ensure we move goods and people in the safest way possible. Although our efforts stem from a shared sense of responsibility – to our customers, our drivers and others on the road; our dedication is recognised in some of the top industry safety awards every year.
The Unitrans Passenger Team was honoured in no less than two categories at this year’s MasterDrive Fleet Safety Awards.
SABOA Best Organisation
This award is a testament to our collective commitment to safety and operational excellence. MasterDrive CEO, Eugene Herbert, stated the following about why Unitrans was selected as the overall category winner: “In the public transport sector, organisational commitment to safety is not just about improving statistics – it saves lives. Unitrans Passenger illustrated their comprehensive safety programs and the role it plays in improving road safety within the sector.”
SABOA Best Fleet Manager
Unitrans Passenger, Cape Town Engineer, Marthinus Mulder, earned this prestigious accolade for his unwavering dedication to staff wellbeing, skills development, and fostering a collaborative and supportive team culture. The award also recognises his steadfast commitment to maintaining the GoGeorge and MyCiTi fleets to Unitrans’ rigorous standards, ensuring the safety and reliability of every passenger journey.
A Story of Shared Success
Although these awards often shine the light on one individual, this truly is a success story that belongs to all the people of Unitrans – from our drivers on the front lines to the teams behind the scenes ensuring seamless operations. Without everyone’s commitment to our culture of safety and innovation these accolades would not be ours to celebrate.
The Journey Continues
Our success at the MasterDrive 2024 awards simply serves as inspiration to keep setting new standards in the industries we serve and shape a safer future on the roads – one kilometre at a time. Giving our customers the peace of mind that their journeys are in the hands of a team that that shares a common departure point – the safety of each and every one of our passengers, our drivers and the cargo we are entrusted with.
