Anaheim, Calif. (Oct 25, 2024) – Anaheim Police Department announced today that it has received a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to promote motorcycle safety awareness with free, hands-on rider trainings led by local law enforcement. The grant program runs through September 2025.

“The Ride to Live motorcycle training program will allow us to provide critical safety education, empowering riders with the skills and knowledge they need to stay safe on the roads,” Sgt. Bryan Devor said. “Education is the key to preventing crashes and creating safer roads for motorcycle riders, drivers, passengers, bicyclists, and pedestrians.”

Grant funds will pay for a series of free motorcycle safety classes that allow riders to practice braking, turning, steering, entering traffic and other skills that help avoid crashes and improve rider safety.

Classes will be available starting in November. To register for a free training class, visit WWW.COPPERSANDCYCLES.COM.

Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
