The Georgia Motorcycle Safety Program (GMSP) owes its existence to the collaborative efforts of the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) and the University of Georgia. The program emerged from a recognized need to improve rider skill and reduce motorcycle-related crashes within the state.
This initiative provides standardized rider education for both novice and experienced motorcyclists, contributing significantly to highway safety. Through structured courses, riders gain essential knowledge of traffic laws and develop critical riding skills. This foundation enhances rider proficiency, potentially mitigating accidents and promoting safer roadways for all users. The program also addresses the increasing popularity of motorcycling in Georgia, ensuring that riders receive proper training and licensing.
