All road users

Gig economy workers on motor scooters and bikes

Project summary

This study explored the experience of risk and risk management amongst drivers and riders and their managers who work as part of the 'gig' economy. The aim of this study was to understand how safety is taken into account by these workers and their managers.

Outputs

Research report on road risk and its management in the ‘gig economy’.

Outcomes

Since the study, a number of policy and practice leads are being followed up. These include the recommendation for there to be a parliamentary inquiry into road safety and the ‘gig economy’. The report has been circulated to key stakeholders and was presented at a PACTS conference on Work Related Road Safety.

We continue to look at ways for the recommendations to be taken forward.
