Mr. Rami Saheb, Chairman of the Bustami & Saheb Group, stated, through “Ain Initiative”, our objective is to actively drive legislative changes that mitigate key risk factors, including driving under the influence of alcohol, speeding, non-compliance with seat belt usage, improper child seat and motorcycle helmet use. Additionally, we aim to elevate vehicle safety standards, enhance the skills of traffic management personnel, and overall, create safer road conditions.”

It equally emphasizes community-wide awareness of road safety regulations, whether one is a pedestrian, vehicle owner, or passenger. Our commitment extends beyond our automotive offerings to active participation in addressing critical societal concerns, particularly the reduction of road accidents and the preservation of lives.”
“Ain Initiative” stands as a result of a strategic partnership between a consortium of private and public sector entities, including the General Security Directorate, Sharx Marketing Agency, 4 JAYED website, Motor 962 magazine, and Dooz Cars Platform. The initiative has garnered support from prominent media entities in the kingdom, such as Yaqeen FM, Amman TV, AlWakeel News, Radio Fann, Rotana Radio and Rotana Tarab Radio.
Furthermore, Bustami & Saheb Group and their initiative partners are dedicated to engaging volunteers who can contribute to “Ain Initiative”. This involvement will encompass professionals including lawyers, physical therapists, and mental health workers, providing their expertise in the event of accidents or pedestrian collisions. Donations will be utilized to assist in covering the costs associated with accident aftermath in the near future.
