All proceed funds go to the AMSAF mission of promoting safety and awareness. What is AMSAF? For 10 years, Arizona Motorcycle Safety & Awareness Foundation (AMSAF) has worked to provide discounted training for untrained and skill-savvy motorcyclists and to reduce the number of crashes and fatalities due to distracted driving. AMSAF works with numerous business partners and sponsors including local businesses, healthcare, the State of Arizona, police departments, legal and other prominent entities and individuals, to help decrease the number of distracted and DUI-impaired drivers and to provide scholarships, statewide, to train motorcyclists how to ride more defensively. What's AMSAF Mission? AMSAF’s mission is to promote motorcycle safety and awareness and help reduce crashes and fatalities in Arizona. In doing so, we offer a one-of-a-kind Arizona motorcycle training financial assistance scholarship program. This program also allows individuals to get into motorcycle training at a reduced cost. In addition, AMSAF offers safety tips on its page and wants to help the motorcycle community in other ways financially. What is next for AMSAF? AMSAF will continue to build even stronger awareness about the need for Arizonans to share the road and be undistracted while driving, and/or motorcyclists to garner and/or hone their skills so they truly learn to ride defensively. How is AMSAF involved in the community? AMSAF works closely with the communities it serves because our work is both business and personal – and impacts everyone who drives or rides any type of vehicle or cycle. AMSAF was formed in 2011 to promote motorcycle safety and awareness and to help reduce crashes and fatalities. We felt the best way was to educate the community and get involved. That way, together, we could make a difference. AMSAF created a program to help get individuals into motorcycle training and get their motorcycle endorsement. We also created a financial assistance helmet program. Both programs help with safety education
We have focused on Share the Road and looking out for each other along with distracted driving. The community has been involved with us and includes trauma doctors and nurses, police, state and the federal government, Legal, Insurance and businesses that employ thousands of employees
What has AMSAF accomplished? In 2020, the non-profit expanded its efforts to include promoting the Share the Road campaign to reduce distracted driving. Last year alone, there were more than 3,100 crashes and fatalities on Arizona roads
Share the Road is a statewide public awareness effort aimed at focusing Arizona motorists on the critical need to be undistracted when driving and to provide scholarships, statewide, to train motorcyclists how to ride more defensively
AMSAF is supported and promoted by the Arizona governor, the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (AZGOHS), RideNow, Dignity Health (Chandler Regional Medical Center), Arizona Trauma Association, Law Tigers, Rosenbluth Family Charitable Foundation and other interested businesses and organizations
In January 2021, the State of Arizona implemented a hands-off law to penalize people using cell phones. AMSAF began serving as a voice for the rampant problem known as distracted driving
In addition to its scholarship and reduced distracted driving leadership efforts, AMSAF has worked with the State of Arizona and major businesses to develop and promote a helmet assistance program that will help individuals garner a high-quality DOT full face or modular helmet for a major savings. The program is growing in popularity and support continues to increase, with one thousand people already enjoying true helmet safety. AMSAF was awarded the 2019 Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) award for Extraordinary Contributions to Motorcyclist Safety
