What is RSI?
Born from a passion to keep riders safe on the road, Ride Safe Indiana (RSI) 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.
TO OUR PROVIDERS
RSI would like to thank its providers for their commitment to providing safety courses for both new and seasoned riders and enabling RSI to continue its mission to train motorcyclists and educate motorists to decrease motorcycle fatalities and collisions.

Impact Statements from RSI Participants
After every motorcycle safety course concludes, RSI gives participants the chance to provide feedback on how the course can potentially be improved for future students. From this RSI has collected many positive compliments from Hoosiers who have had the chance to take a course. We're so happy to hear when participants have come away with great experiences.
Everything was great. Coaches were excellent and really made sure we all understood before moving on. Very accommodating to riders of all skill levels.
For a first experience on a motorcycle the course taught me a lot.
Great coaches great class environment, great training class helped me out tons. Will be back for more in the future.
This program was great from beginning to end!
Overall, the course was very helpful! Would not change anything. They give good tips, beginner friendly, had a good sense of humor but remained serious when needed.
The course was great, informative, helpful and fun!
It was a fun learning experience that I genuinely enjoyed!
The course instructors were amazing! Friendly and kind no nonsense teaching styles. They gave great feedback to direct our riding to improve our techniques. I literally knew NOTHING about motorcycling when I started and now I have much more confidence than before. Excellent course!!!
Great course, phenomenal instructors! Wouldn’t change anything about this course.
Rule the Road: Riding with Confidence!
In 2024, Ride Safe Indiana proudly participated in the "Rule the Road" event, sponsored by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) and Alliance Highway Safety. This unique initiative is tailored for teen drivers, offering them advanced driving skills and crucial safety knowledge that extend beyond standard driver education programs. RSI engaged with young drivers with their hands-on Motorcycle Experience—where folks could get a feel for what it's like to sit in the saddle of a real motorcycle in a safe and controlled environment. It was a hit with all the event attendees!
