CurbTrac Launches Clean Driver Program in Partnership with Grubhub and Philadelphia Parking Authority
Program provides Grubhub drivers with Personal Protective Equipment kits at no charge
Philadelphia, PA, April 29, 2020 – In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, CurbTrac, a technology innovator in the parking and mobility industries, announced the launch of the Clean Driver Program in partnership with Grubhub and the Philadelphia Parking Authority (PPA). The Clean Driver Program leverages CurbTrac’s parking operations network and technology platform to provide turn-key solutions for Transportation Network Companies (TNC) and taxi companies to keep drivers and customers safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of the program, personal protective equipment (PPE) distribution will be available in Philadelphia to start with the ability to potentially expand across additional markets next month.
The Clean Driver Program for Grubhub will launch with a pop-up distribution site on Wednesday, April 29, 2020 through Saturday, May 2, 2020 from 10am until 4pm. Registered Grubhub drivers can schedule a time to pick up their PPE kits at no charge at a designated location in the city. Commenting on the launch of the program, CurbTrac CEO Charley DeBow said, “By leveraging CurbTrac’s technology platform, our logistics expertise, and our staffing network, The Clean Driver Program provides Grubhub with a cost-effective solution to quickly and efficiently distribute PPE kits directly into the hands of their drivers.”
“Ensuring the safety of our community during these times is incredibly important, especially as delivery is one of the only ways restaurants are able to stay open right now,” stated Eric Ferguson, senior vice president of logistics at Grubhub. “While we’ve already extended an easy way for our driver network to access PPE, our partnership with CurbTrac further extends our efforts and gives drivers in Philadelphia a quick and easy way to pick up the supplies they need – and at no cost to them.”
The PPA supported the launch of the Clean Driver Program by providing the space for the pop-up distribution site. “The Philadelphia Parking Authority is pleased to partner with CurbTrac’s Clean Driver Program to support the health and safety of food delivery drivers and customers. The PPA applauds corporate leaders like Grubhub for providing drivers with free PPE kits,” commented Scott Petri, Executive Director of the PPA. “As the City of Philadelphia gradually re-opens the economy, the PPA will continue to support initiatives like the Clean Driver Program for all for-hire vehicles,” Petri said.
