Route Safety Index

Which Nairobi routes are safer? Anonymous data, real accountability.

SafeRide's route-safety concept is grounded in the app pathway called Anonymous map update: share redacted where/when and incident type, with no names and no audio.

Private evidence. Public safety signals.

The Route Safety Index should only use data that is minimized, aggregated, privacy-reviewed, and useful to operators, civic partners, regulators, and support organizations.

Supporting detail

How route signals stay anonymous.

Anonymous map update

Only redacted route facts belong in public signals.

The pathway is written around where/when and incident type, while excluding names, raw audio, and survivor-identifying details.

Aggregation

Small samples should not become public scores.

Route scoring needs thresholds, time windows, bias notes, and methodology limits before it can responsibly inform operators or regulators.

Action loop

A route index is only useful if partners respond.

The pilot should test whether transport partners can convert aggregate signals into lighting, staffing, reporting, and follow-up changes.

Anonymous map update

The pathway copy explicitly limits map contribution to redacted where/when and type, with no names or audio.

Escalation packet

When a rider chooses action, the escalation form supports redaction levels, vehicle plate, SACCO/operator, alias contact, and packet preview.

Case follow-up

Submitted cases can move through status, timeline events, attachment previews, deletion requests, and offline retry states.

Index guardrails before launch

  1. 01Define minimum sample thresholds so small groups or exact journeys are not exposed.
  2. 02Separate anonymous route signals from private drafts, evidence files, and referral briefs.
  3. 03Publish methodology, limitations, and known bias before displaying public scores.
  4. 04Give operators and civic partners action loops without giving them survivor-identifying data.

Help test route signals without exposing riders.
