Train Smart. Ride Smart.
Our Mission
Ride Safe Indiana (RSI) is the State of Indiana’s motorcycle safety program within the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Our mission is to train motorcyclists and educate motorists to decrease motorcycle fatalities and collisions.
RSI would like to thank its providers for their commitment to providing Indiana residents with courses for both new and seasoned riders. Because of their participation, RSI is able to continue its mission to train motorcyclists and educate motorists to decrease motorcycle fatalities and collisions.

New Bikes Added to the Fleet
In 2022, the RSI team added new motorcycles to their fleet—several Yamaha MT-03 bikes and Royal Enfield Meteor 350 bikes. The new additions are a part of a renewal cycle the RSI team enforces to ensure all trainees are riding bikes that are up-to-date, have fewer miles, and less wear-and-tear. The RSI team will track the demographics of those who sign up for courses to train on these newer bikes. With the introduction of the sportier Yamaha MT-03 bikes, the RSI team hopes to see an increase in interest from younger riders gaining endorsements.
Meet the RSI Team
Born from a passion to keep riders safe on the road, Ride Safe Indiana was established in 2016. The BMV recognized it could better serve Indiana motorcyclists by owning the program and building relationships with multiple contractors across the state.
RSI is proud the program is providing new and current riders with the knowledge and skills to help them stay safe on the road and possibly save their lives.
The team aspires to train 10,000 people in one season and will work collaboratively towards that goal with its providers.
