MOTORCYCLE RIDER TRAINING PROGRAM

The Vermont Rider Education Program (VREP) which was established
in 1990, is a comprehensive rider-training program. The program is
designed to provide the training necessary to enhance operator safety and
reduce injuries that occur in motorcycle crashes.
VREP encourages people who are interested in riding motorcycles to
take this training. The training provided through VREP is highly
effective for novice as well as the most experienced riders.
The program is voluntary until such time as the Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles determines the program shall be mandatory. After that date, all
applicants for a Motorcycle Learner Permit or Operator License
endorsement for operating a motorcycle shall successfully complete the
training course.
The training program follows nationally recognized safety and training
standards and involves both classroom and on-cycle training. The
maximum tuition per student is set annually by the Department of Motor
Vehicles.
For information on the Vermont Rider Education Program or to locate

and those with limited riding experience, as well as riders who
haven't ridden for some time. The course, which includes a
combination of riding exercises and classroom discussions, teaches
the basic skills needed to operate a motorcycle in traffic.
