A new traffic safety management system for delivery workers is on the road. The Ministry of Transport officially announced the formulation of the "Traffic Safety Management Rules for Delivery Workers", which will take effect on September 11. It is stipulated that food delivery platform operators must assume more traffic safety management responsibilities, including checking the driving qualifications of delivery workers, establishing a reasonable order dispatching mechanism and conducting traffic safety education and training. If a delivery driver accumulates two major traffic violations within six months and the platform fails to arrange a four-hour safety training, or still dispatches orders before the training is completed, he may be fined up to NT$500,000.

The new regulations require platform operators to formulate a "delivery traffic hazard prevention plan." When recruiting delivery workers, they must proactively check driving records to confirm that the driver's license and vehicle are in normal condition, and that the driver's license has not been suspended, revoked, or canceled. At the same time, for orders provided by the platform, the items shipped, pickup and delivery locations must comply with relevant road traffic safety regulations.

In terms of education and training, new delivery drivers must receive at least one hour of traffic safety education; current delivery drivers must complete at least one hour of return training every year starting from the year after joining. Those who have not completed the training are not allowed to continue to provide delivery services.

For major violations, the platform must take appropriate coaching or improvement measures when a delivery driver violates the rules for the first time; if there are two major violations within six months, or is deemed to have a significant impact on traffic safety, the platform must arrange at least a 4-hour delivery safety training, including traffic laws, defensive driving, and driving ethics, and must suspend delivery before completing the training.

The Ministry of Transportation pointed out that if the platform fails to provide education and training and fails to improve within the time limit, it may be fined 20,000 to 100,000 yuan; if it fails to arrange training or dispatch orders in violation of major violations, it may be fined up to 500,000 yuan; if it violates other traffic safety management obligations, it may be fined 9,000 to 90,000 yuan.
