Motorcycle Safety & Awareness Program
The in-school section of the Drivers Education “Share the Road” program has been taught in five Gaston County High Schools since November 1st, 2007.   The feedback from the Driver Ed Co-coordinators, contracted by the County has been very favorable.  
    We as MSAP Instructors, in a CBA of the Year Chapter, would love to have you share our joy of opening the eyes and young minds of our community to Motorcycle Safety.  If the MSAP Program is of interest to you or someone you know, please talk to one of the trainers for more information.
