Traffic Safety Program
Basic Riders Course (BRC)
Motorcycle Safety Project Closed Course/Walk-Ins
Anyone who is unable to register for a course has the option of attempting to attend a course as a “walk-in.” Walk-in participants will be selected in a lottery drawing once roll call is completed and the number of vacancies has been determined. Persons will be given a numbered ticket and there will be a drawing for each seat to be filled. This means the time you arrive at a training site will provide no advantage for getting into a course. Therefore, persons trying to get into a course as a “walk-in” are not to arrive for a course before 5p.m.
