VI. RESULTS FROM SITE VISITS

Incentives for Licensing

Across the five promising-practices States, administrators, instructors, and students made little distinction between incentives for training and incentives for licensing. The majority of students interviewed mentioned licensing waivers as strong incentives for encouraging them to enroll. For these students, rider training was the easiest means of getting a license. Moreover, the students interviewed did not evaluate specific incentives for obtaining a license; they had already made a decision to ride legally and enrolled in a rider training program to expedite this goal and to gain the confidence to ride in traffic.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Administrators, instructors, and students make little distinction between incentives for training and incentives for licensing.

  • Students mentioned licensing waivers and an interest in education and safety as their primary concerns.
