The Alberta Motorcycle Safety Society (AMSS) was formed by a group of concerned motorcyclists interested in improving the safety on our roads. We are a non-profit society registered in the Province of Alberta, established in February 2016. Through partnering with the motorcycle industry, municipal/provincial government and the media, the AMSS has become instrumental in the promotion of motorcycle safety, education and awareness in Alberta. Our annual May is Motorcycle Safety Month campaign focuses on three main criteria:
- Drivers – educate drivers when motorcycles return to the roads, watch for riders, learn where extra attention is needed, the inherent dangers of distracted driving, etc.
- Riders – educate riders on their responsibilities to their environment and community by riding responsibly, obeying traffic rules on the road, being respectful, etc.
- Mechanics & Gear – promoting street legal motorcycles that adhere to the Alberta Traffic Safety Act, promoting proper riding gear as a safety measure to all riders including proper and approved helmets, jackets, boots, pants and gloves.
Sean spoke with Liane Langlois, President of the AMSS, to chat about the upcoming riding season.
