Ride to Live: Pomona Police Department Receives Grant from the Office of Traffic Safety for Motorcycle Safety Training Program

Pomona, Calif. — The Pomona Police Department received grant funding from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to promote motorcycle safety awareness with free, hands-on rider trainings led by local law enforcement.
 
The $20,000 grant 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 on the road.
 
“The Ride to Live program will allow us to make a real difference in our community by providing high-quality motorcycle safety education and training to riders,” Officer Kenneth Maiques said. “We believe education is the key to preventing crashes and creating safer roads for drivers, passengers, bicyclists, and pedestrians.”
 
The motorcycle training program will run through September 2025.
 
Classes will be available starting December. To register for a free training class, email Pomona Police Department Motor Officer: [email protected]
 
Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
