Motorcycle Safety

Motorcycle riders account for 20% of all traffic fatalities. As part of Vision Zero SF’s mission to reach zero traffic fatalities, we are continuing our motorcycle safety outreach campaign with Free Motorcycle Safety Skills Closed-Course Trainings throughout the month of August 2019.

This one-day course will be administered by Vision Zero SF, the California Office of Traffic Safety, the San Francisco Police Department, the San Francisco Department of Public Health, and the SFMTA* in an easy-going controlled environment.

Riders will learn and practice techniques such as:

• Lane-splitting
• How to safely cross Muni and rail tracks
• Emergency maneuvers
• Defensive driving
• Braking

Registration is OPEN NOW.

Sign up by August 8, 2019 here.
