OUR MISSION

TEAM OREGON was developed in 1984 as a cooperative endeavor between the Oregon Department of Transportation and Oregon State University. Our mission is to provide rider skills training for motorcyclists of all ability levels and experience, and to provide access to that training across the state of Oregon. Each year over 5000 new and experienced riders learn valuable lifelong riding skills through TEAM OREGON's range of courses.

Today, TEAM OREGON is not only a leader in motorcycle rider training, we're also a clearinghouse for information and resources relating to riding and safety. Whether you're new to the sport of motorcycling or have been riding for 50 years, you'll find resources on our site that will help you get the most out of your ride.

The heart of TEAM OREGON is its selection of rider training courses that are geared to every level of riding ability. For riders just starting out, we offer the Basic Rider Training (BRT), an introduction to motorcycling that takes you from theory to riding on a controlled practice range. Our Intermediate Rider Training (IRT) is for those who have some riding experience. Maybe you rode some years ago or have just started on your own and want to get better. This course will help you get to the next level.


For riders with more experience who are looking to hone their skills and step up to a higher level, we offer the Rider Skills Practice (RSP). In this course riders will learn advanced techniques for handling curves, hills, emergency braking and avoidance maneuvers. Finally, our Advanced Rider Training (ART) is for those that want to hone their skills on the tight turns and curves of an enclosed track.
