What's going on!
Campaign Save A Life
What a great year it's been, we have
successfully trained 6 new instructors in the Knoxville area. School pkgs. are
out and hopefully we will be teaching motorcycle awareness to the Knoxville
school systems soon. In Central and West TN we have taught 671 more
students since August of 2009.
We are confident Campaign Save A Life is working across TN since the fatality
stats for motorcycle crashes have decreased by 4.
Events:
We are currently working on our 2010 Share the Road
Festival, MAFT has been asked to expand this event to Memphis and Knoxville
Areas. If you would like to help with this event please contact us.
Government Issues:
By now you have noticed the cable barriers going up all
around Tennessee. MAFT continues to have meetings with TDOT about improving
motorcycling around TN. There has been research done on the cable barriers on
both TDOT and MAFT representatives. The harm that may be cause to motorcyclists
is not documented but the lives that these barriers have saved has been largely
documented. Tennessee lives being saved is the goal of MAFT and the State of
Tennessee, which means the cable barriers will become a big part of the
Tennessee scenery along our roadways. On a brighter note, we hope you have
notice more motorcycling signs going up in construction areas and HO
V lanes. If you know were a sign is needed please contact us with the info.
