ATV Safety Instruction
There are two types of training available to Class I and Class III operators, on-line and hands-on.  
 
On-line Mandatory Safety Training The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department ATV Safety Education Course is now online. This course provides safety tips for riding in Oregon's dunes, desert and forests as well as training on trail etiquette, riding ethics and environmental concerns.

The ATV Safety Education Course is the only way to receive the new ATV Safety Education Card (or Operator Permit) that is required for youth 15 and under and their adult supervisors. The ATV Safety Education Course will be phased in for all ages by 2014. Both the ATV Safety Education Course and the ATV Safety Education Card are free and never expire.

Also located on the above website you will find the phase-in schedule. Because this training material covers material not presented in hands-on training courses, previous ASI or MSF Operator Permit holders will also need to take this course.
 
Hands-on

Beginning January 1, 2012, Hands-on training will also be required for youth 15 and under. As we approach this deadline training may be hard to find. Avoid the rush and get trained now!  

 
Those who have already received hands-on training via ASI or MSF have already met this requirement and will be issued a new ATV Safety Education Card with their training endorsement in 2012.
