Rider Education
Mission & Objective
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
