Motorcycle safety program clinics offered

2 min read

HARRISBURG -- PennDOT has announced plans for Pennsylvania motorcycle safety program clinics focused on developing operator proficiency.

Clinics are offered free-of-charge to Pennsylvania residents who have a motorcycle learner's permit or motorcycle license.

"It is important to practice and refine riding techniques from time to time. Riders of all skill levels can benefit from the valuable skills and safety lessons learned through Pennsylvania's free motorcycle safety clinics," said PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards in a statement.

Developed by PennDOT's new program coordinator, Total Control Training Inc/ PAMSP will offer five revamped training syllabuses tailored not just to hone a rider's knowledge but to test their ability to physically manipulate a motorcycle properly. All training clinics are conducted under the supervision of certified instructors at one of numerous riding ranges located throughout the state.

Three of the clinics -- the Beginning Rider Clinic, the Intermediate Riding Clinic, and the 3-Wheel Riding Clinic -- offer a pathway to earning a motorcycle license.

For more information or to enroll in a clinic, visit www.pamsp.com or call 1-800-845-9533. Potential riders who want a convenient way to study for their knowledge test can download the PA Motorcycle Practice Test app by visiting www.pa.gov and searching the mobile apps for the Pennsylvania Motorcycle License Practice Test by clicking on the Apps link at the bottom of the page.
