Office of Traffic Safety Awards $40,000 Grant to SFPD for “Ride to Live” Motorcycle Safety Training Program 24-135

The San Francisco Police Department announced today that it has 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 this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
