Rialto, Calif. – The Rialto 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 trainings led by local law enforcement. The grant program runs through September 2026.
“The ‘Ride to Live’ motorcycle training program will allow us to provide critical safety education, empowering riders with the skills and knowledge they need to stay safe on the roads,” Rialto Police Chief Mark P. Kling said. “Education is the key to preventing crashes and creating safer roads for motorcycle riders, drivers, passengers, bicyclists, and pedestrians.”
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.
“By supporting motorcycle safety education and collaborating with dedicated law enforcement partners, we are creating a future where riders and all road users can travel safely on California roads,” OTS Director Stephanie Dougherty said. “Every class, training, and awareness effort helps foster a strong road safety culture.”
Classes will be held on the following dates: February 21, 2026, March 28, 2026, May 30, 2026 and September 12, 2026. To register for a free training class, visit rialtopolice.com/ride-to-live/ or email Sergeant Breen at [email protected].
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
