Raymond Ochs, Vice-President of Training Systems, All-Terrain Vehicle Safety Institute, presented this at CPSC's ATV Safety Summit Oct. 12, 2012. The ATV Safety Institute (ASI) believes in the value of high-quality safety education and training that puts contemporary learning theory into effective practice. Safety countermeasures need to address several audiences, from novice riders to enthusiasts, and to leverage several delivery mechanisms, from electronic and web-based formats to classroom and hands-on training. For nearly 25 years, the core ASI program has been the ATV RiderCourse. In an effort to make the ATV RiderCourse more accessible, ASI recently developed an alternative delivery and participation option through a two-part E-Course and S-Course. In complementing and reinforcing each other, the E-Course provides cognitive learning through three age-appropriate modules while the S-Course provides the skills training and safe riding practices. These courses along with supplementary public information and education programs such as the youth-oriented Treadsylvania, a fun, and engaging web-based game, provide a multi-pronged approach. Because the heart of the ATV RiderCourse and other interactive programs is the dynamic relationship of rider and Instructor, ASI provides initial Instructor training processes coupled with formal development opportunities to foster effective teacher-learner transactions. The result is a student centered instructional strategy that helps riders not only value safety, but internalize safe riding practices in their day-to-day ATV use.

From the Behavioral Model
1. Identify a need to change behavior
2. Define the operational behavior to be learned
3. Break the behavior into simple elements
4. Create exercises to teach the basic behaviors
5. Design tests to determine if the new behaviors have been learned

Core Questions1. What is the difference between rider performance and rider behavior?
– What a rider can do versus what a rider does
2. What is the cause of ATV incidents?
– An interaction of contributing factors
3. What is a good rider?
– One who reduces contributing factors when riding
4. What does a good rider do that a rider who crashes doesn’t?
– Uses a strategy to reduce risk
5. How long does it take to be a safe, responsible rider?
– It’s a decision away
6. What is the primary challenge to ride incident-free?
– Keep safety a top-of-mind, high value in the moments of choice
1. The ATV RiderCourse
2. The ATV E-Course
3. The ATV S-Course
4. Instructor and Chief Instructor Licensing Programs
5. Instructor and Chief Instructor Professional Development
Primary Programs
1. Now in its 3rd generation
2. A partial day, hands-on program3. Stresses basics of managing risk toward safe,
responsible riding practices

exercises4. Includes rider skill development, with topics from pre-
ride inspection to environmental concerns5. Provides a flexible delivery option, leveraging the E-
Course, to reach more students
The ATV S-Course
Additional Program
Treadsylvania
1. Web-based, interactive adventure game
2. Designed for 8-18 year olds3. Developed in collaboration with New Mexico State
University as part of a 4H program4. An educational intervention that doesn’t feel like a
traditional ATV training program• Appeals to a non-ATV rider
5. Emphasizes the reasons behind safety recommendations, particularly for non-ATV riders
1. Wear protective gear.
2. Never ride on paved roads.
3. Never ride under the influence.
4. No passengers for single-rider ATVs; no more than one passenger for ATVs designed to carry two.
