GWRRA RIDER EDUCATION PROGRAM NEWS AND MONTHLY SAFETY TIPS

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

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

Purpose and Scope

The purpose of this site is to provide a comprehensive guide to the Gold Wing Road Riders Association (GWRRA) Rider Education Program. It will attempt to cover, in detail, each level of the program and its requirements as well as the required duties of the Chapter Educator (CE) to manage the program.

This site is also intended to provide a prospective candidate with most of the information required to become a Chapter Educator (CE). However, as the CE is an officer in GWRRA, it will still be necessary to become familiar with the GWRRA Officer Guidebook.

Finally, and probably most importantly, this site will attempt to provide the Chapter Educator with some tools and some insight which is intended to help him/her serve successfully in their position.

It is important to remember the Chapter Director, District Educator and District Director are volunteers and invaluable assets, willing to help with problems or circumstances related to the riding safety of GWRRA members.
