MOTORCYCLE AWARENESS CLASSROOM TRAINING

A bill passed by the General Assembly gave the Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles the discretion to require any applicant to successfully complete
an approved classroom training curriculum before a Motorcycle Learner
Permit or motorcycle endorsement may be issued.
The Motorcycle Awareness Program is a 4 hour classroom course that
has been developed in partnership with the "Motorcycle Safety
Foundation". A pilot course has been implemented. The pilot course
will initially run on a voluntary basis, but once is has been tested and
proven to be effective, it is planned to make the course mandatory for
anyone wishing to obtain a Motorcycle Learner Permit or motorcycle
endorsement.
Information about where you can take a Vermont Motorcycle Awareness
Program course is available on the DMV website at dmv.vermont.gov.
