| ATV Safety Instruction |
|
There are two types of training available to Class I and Class III operators, on-line and hands-on.
Mandatory On-line Safety Training The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department ATV Safety Education Course is now online-and it's free! 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 all operators of quads and motorcycles. The ATV Safety Education Course is being 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. There are as many as 35,000 youth that may need to be trained. Because of this, 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 by 2012. If your child has completed the on-line course and has received an ATV Safety Education Card and hasn’t received a new ATV Safety Education Card showing his or her hands-on training dates by January 1, 2012, give us a call at 877-7SAFELY (877-772-3359). We’ll help you get a new, endorsed, card.
