About the advisory board

The Motorcycle Safety Education Advisory Board was created by law (RCW 46.20.520) to help the director of the Department of Licensing monitor the Motorcycle Safety Program.

  • 1 member of the Washington State Patrol with at least 5 years’ experience, and at least 1 year’s experience as a motor officer.
