GWRRA Rider Education Program

 Our slogan:  “SAFETY IS FOR LIFE”

 Our motto:  “TO SAVE LIVES THROUGH QUALITY, WORLD CLASS EDUCATION”

 

The GWRRA Rider Education Levels Program started in 1988.  Our current program handbook states our purpose as follows:

The GWRRA Rider Education Levels Program is intended to make the motorcycle environment safer by reducing injuries and fatalities by increasing motorcyclist skills and awareness through education and training.  The Rider Education Levels Program 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 Levels Program.   Through Commitment, Education and Application we can reduce our accident rate significantly.  Thus, we do our part to aid in Member Retention.  Listed below are several benefits of a fully implemented GWRRA Rider Education Levels Program.

  •  Increased rider knowledge

  •  Increased rider safety skills

  •  Prevention of accidents

  •  Reduced injuries

  •  Reduced fatalities

  •  Improved general public image of motorcyclists

  •  Enhanced enjoyment of motorcycling riding

The motorcycle community is already realizing many positive benefits from the GWRRA Rider Education Levels Program.  Through the efforts of the Rider Education Officers and participation of the membership and others, we continue to strive to reach our goal of establishing the safest motorcycle environment possible.
