Riders Rights ABATE of Illinois is dedicated to preserving the rights of all motorcyclists - and ATV riders. We encourage riders to become involved in the legislative and political processes by joining ABATE, registering to vote, contacting legislators, working campaigns, and contributing to our Political Action Committees. In addition to our extensive grass roots efforts ABATE of Illinois retains the services of a professional lobbying firm. If the state legislature is in session you can bet we've got someone there looking out for your rights. It doesn't stop there, at least once a year ABATE of Illinois sends a team of volunteers to Washington DC to meet with and lobby our members of Congress. ABATE of Illinois often partners with the Motorcycle Riders Foundation on issues of national concern. Sometimes threats to, or opportunities for motorcycling come without the benefit or encumbrance of the legislative process. With this in mind ABATE of Illinois strives to develop relationships with various agency officials and takes part in related programs whenever possible and beneficial.Safety and EducationABATE of Illinois urges all motorcyclists to ride responsibly and take an accredited rider training course.
ABATE of Illinois' Motorcycle Awareness Program was developed with the new and inexperienced driver in mind, and teaches them how to look for, and interact in traffic with motorcycles. State Meeting Minutes Available to ABATE members RoadHazard.orgThis program was created to save motorcyclists lives by reporting hazardous road conditions to the agencies responsible for their upkeep.ABATE Legal Services Motorcycle Riders Foundation American Motorcyclist Association |
