SGI tunes strategy to promote motorcycle safety

Monday, 05 February 2007

One component of SGI's traffic safety efforts are initiatives aimed at modifying or changing driver behavior. They identify these as "Human Factors" in the broad realm of maintaining traffic safety.

In an effort to better manage these "human factors", SGI has added the following initiatives to their safety strategy:

Invest in expanding the capacity for motorcycle training in Saskatchewan in order to extend the geographical base and access to this program across the province.
Develop and propose a Graduated Driver’s Licence component for new motorcyclists.
