Last week I put out some information as to where MA's federal funds were spent~ here's a further break out:

OFF THE WIRE
here's a further break out:
March New RiderCoach Training - $8.585.00

August New RiderCoach Training - $8,275.00

New evaluation for RiderCoaches - $8,820.00  (Haven’t done)

2 Honda Smart Trainers - $ 16,000 (Haven’t purchased)

“Check Twice”media campaign - $96,184.63

And then some indirect costs which come out to about $135.37.

This comes to $138,000


Thank You.
More Questions
How many Rider Coaches have been trained so far? 12  How many per class? 12 normally
Are the rider coaches paid to teach classes after they are trained?  Yes
Who supplies motorcycle training? The State or Private Business?  Private Business
Is there a fee for those wishing to take a safety course?  Yes.  The BRC is about $300 and the ERC is about $150.
Do people who take a rider course still have to be Tested by The State or are they given a piece of paper saying the school tested them.  The school issues the license.  The Road Test is waived.

Just for the record I am in favor of Motorcycle Rider Courses For Those Who Wish To Take Them.
I am against them being Mandatory and also Riders Not Being Tested by the state after they go to school.

 
If I were king of the world I would probably like to see the BRC as the path for a motorcycle permit and the ERC as the licensing tool.
CT has mandatory training and it seems to be working very well.

Thanks.
