Rider Education

The GWRRA Rider Education Program (REP) is intended to make the motorcycle environment safer by reducing injuries and fatalities and increasing motorcyclist skills and awareness.  The REP does not propose to have all the answers.  However, our close-working relationship with the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF), as well as additional GWRRA programs and studies, has provided a wealth of information for use in establishing a comprehensive Rider Education Program.  Through Commitment, Education and Application, we can reduce our accident rate significantly. Listed below are several benefits of a fully implemented GWRRA Rider Education Program at the Chapter level:
      - Increased rider knowledge
      - Increased rider safety skills
      - Prevention of accidents
      - Reduced injuries
      - Reduced fatalities
      - Improved general public image of motorcyclists
      - Enhanced enjoyment of motorcycle riding
