At BRP, we believe there’s an opportunity for everyone in the powersports community to come together and rethink how we approach safety, the environment, and riding etiquette.

Through education, action and community empowerment, the Responsible Rider program redefines responsible riding in the powersports industry, creating a more welcoming environment for newcomers, elevating the riders’ experience, strengthening safety, and protecting the freedom to ride for generations to come.

The Responsible Rider program is about being present when you ride. It’s about taking a moment to center yourself and be clear about where you’re going. It’s about giving all riders access to a positive riding experience.

SAFETY

When it comes to safety, the Responsible Rider program is about paying attention to how we’re riding. Starting the journey off on the right foot, whether it’s our first ride or our 500th.
Wearing the right safety gear and adjusting our riding style to the existing conditions.

ENVIRONMENT

When it comes to the environment, the Responsible Rider program is about looking after the ride that we’re on, it’s wildlife and nature.
Leaving the roads, trails and waterways better than we’ve found them, so the next ride is as good as our last.

RIDING BEHAVIOR

When it comes to riding behavior, the Responsible Rider program is about sharing the ride with others. Following the rules, reducing noise, minding our speed, and respecting each other.
Understanding that everyone has their own way of riding, and finding positive, empowering ways to share knowledge.

The Responsible Rider Masterclass

BRP has partnered with Tread Lightly! to create the Responsible Rider Masterclass for our snow, water and off-road playgrounds.

With free, online trainings, we empower powersport riders and BRP dealers with practical guidance on safety, environmental stewardship, and riding etiquette, so that wherever we ride in the world, we share the same essentials of responsible riding.

The rider training:
interactive courses designed to equip every rider with the knowledge to be a responsible rider while enjoying the thrill of the ride.

The BRP exclusive dealer, outfitter and distributor training: dedicated trainings that strengthens their role as community leaders, helping enhance the customer experience, and ensure playgrounds remain open and welcoming for all.
