SAN FRANCISCO—On Tuesday, November 12, the SFPD posted on its Facebook page that it received a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to promote motorcycle safety awareness with free, hands-on rider training led by local law enforcement. The grant program runs through September 2025.
“This grant money will help tremendously in the SFPD’s commitment to make our streets safer,” said SFPD Commander Nicole Jones, who heads the department’s Traffic Division.
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. Class schedules and registration links will be put out on social media at a later date.
Funding for the program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
