The Motorist Awareness Program
and Rider Education Program, through a Team effort,
are committed to a goal of establishing the safest
motorcycling environment possible. While Rider Education
trains and educates motorcycle riders, the Motorist
Awareness Program (MAP) will focus on educating
the motorist community. Our primary goal in motorist
awareness will be to reduce the number of motorcycle
crashes with other highway users, a reduction in
the loss of life,
and a reduction in injuries.
A New Era in Motorist
Awareness - A Simple Plan...
The Motorist Awareness Program
of GWRRA, through a “Share the Road” campaign will
pursue three aspects of motorist awareness. Each
of these three are supportive of each other:
-
Awareness Education
- Providing motorists with First Class, professional
education through our certified seminar presentations.
Our presentations will be developed for a multitude
of audiences, educating them to a better understanding
of motorcyclists, the risks involved, a heightened
awareness of motorcycle presence and what they
as motorists can do in the prevention of crashes.
"Drive Aware!”
-
Awareness Advertisement
- Serves as a reminder to motorists that they
share the road with motorcycles. Reinforced
reminder to the education aspect.
-
Public Relations
- Interaction with the motoring public has the
ability to reflect highly on GWRRA and to mold
public opinion on how they view motorcyclists.
Our goal in this area is to build
a rapport with motorists and leave them with a feeling
that motorcyclists are real people who could be
their friend, neighbor, or even a relative.
The Motorist Awareness Program
has already begun working with the Motorcycle Safety
Foundation (MSF) and other organizations within
the motorcycling community. Communications and the
sharing of information between us and these organizations
helps build our programs, sets the stage for success
and benefits the entire motorcycling community.
