Grab Philippines launched the Grab CommuniKit, a new initiative designed to enhance inclusivity for deaf driver-partners.

The in-vehicle visual communication kit is designed to bridge the communication gap between passengers and deaf driver-partners, ensuring a safe, smooth and comfortable ride.

It said the Grab CommuniKit is a thoughtfully designed set of postcards featuring commonly used phrases and requests made during GrabCar rides. These easy-to-read postcards aim to facilitate communication with PWD drivers on various topics, such as directions, drop-off points and special requests like air conditioning adjustments.

The kit was co-created with leading organizations advocating for inclusivity for the deaf, such as DeafED Philippines, the National Association of Sign Language Interpreters, and the community of PWD Grab driver-partners. It adheres to industry standards for effective communication methods tailored to the needs of deaf individuals.

“In championing inclusive success for everyone in the digital economy, it is with full dedication that we make sure nobody is left behind,” said Grab Philippines country head Ronald Roda.
