With three companies who have plenty of practice keeping people (and the Earth) safe, this collaboration is sure to save lives and keep the environment safe.

Be a Responsible Rider

“The Responsible Rider program was born out of our deeply held belief that we can set the tone for the whole industry by rethinking how we approach the way we ride. We are taking bold steps to encourage all riders to ride responsibly, starting with impactful partnerships. We are thrilled to team up with Tread Lightly! and RideSafe to drive positive change and ensure our next ride is as good as the last,” says Anne-Marie LaBerge, Chief Marketing Officer at BRP.

“In the past few years, we have seen rapid growth in motorized recreation all over the US. Tread Lightly! has heard regularly about the need to better educate these enthusiasts on how to be respectful and responsible,” says Matt Caldwell, Executive Director, Tread Lightly!. “This partnership with BRP provides every enthusiast with the tools to ‘do your part’ to ‘protect the fun’.”
