ETRA: Youth Safety

Be prepared for your evaluation; download a copy of the OMRA YSEP program guideline. Click Here.

If online registration isn't possible for you, it's okay to simply 'drop in' on our evaluations. However, an evaluation may be cancelled if online registration doesn't meet our minimum number. So it's good to verify your date before you load up the kids, bikes and gear. Thanks!

Join the Emerald Trail Riders Association for a day with the kids. ETRA hosts Youth Safety Evaluations at the new Cascade View Training site at the Shotgun OHV area. All Shotgun dates will begin at 10:00 a.m.

Frequently Answered Queries:

Who is OMRA YSEP?. Working together, the Oregon Motorcycle Riders Association (OMRA) and Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) have implemented a consistent, statewide Youth Safety Evaluation Program (YSEP). Participating Clubs, Individuals, OHV Businesses and Agencies conduct evaluations for Oregons young riders.

Oregons OHV Youth Safety Law. As of January 1, 2012 Oregon law requires all off-road motorcycle and ATV operators ages 15 and under to complete a hands-on evaluation course to ride legally on all Oregon public lands.

What is a Youth Safety Evaluation? A Youth Safety Evaluation is a one-time, hands-on skills demonstration to evaluate a youths ability to safely control and fit their OHV. The youth's on-line Safety Ed card will be endorsed after he/she has passed the evaluation. Parents will need to bring their child/children prepared to ride with the vehicle and proper protective gear.

ETRA's role in Oregon Youth Safety. We realize that public sentiment about new laws, more requirements and less freedom is generally negative. ETRA is looking at this law from a different perspective. Whether you favor the required hands-on law or not, compliance is inevitable. As we are a public club, supporting OHV interests and riders like yourself, we offer the Youth Safety Evaluation Program because we are riders ourselves. The evaluation course will satisfy the law's requirements and provide an affordable endorsement for Oregon's future off-road riders.

Does my child have to complete the Onlie Safety Course first? Yes. Oregon ATV Safety Education is a 2-step process. Youths must first pass the Online Course (Step 1) http://www.rideatvoregon.org/ and receive a temporary Safety Ed Card. That card number will be submitted by OMRA YSEP once the youth passes a Hands-On evaluation (Step 2). Then a permanent card will be sent to you by Oregon State Parks and Recreation.
