Safety Training

PA DCNR / ASI Safety Training

PA law requires youngsters aged 8-15 to complete one of these courses before operating an ATV on lands not owned by their parent or guardian. Most major ATV manufacturers provide incentives to cover the cost of these courses.

The ATV Safety Institute RiderCourse is free for anyone who has purchased a new, qualifying ATV from an ASI member company and may qualify for up to a $100 incentive.
Students completing the ATV safety course will also be given a 20% discount toward the purchase of a Mines & Meadows Day Pass. Loaner ATV's are available for those who wish to take the course and do not own an ATV, or those wishing to bring along a family member.
Classes may be scheduled during the week by appointment only. Students should bring helmets with face shield or goggles, over-the-ankle boots, gloves, pants, long-sleeved shirt,and ATVs and arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled class start time. The ATV Safety Institute Course lasts approximately 4 hours and costs $55 for riders 8 - 15yrs and $150 for riders 16 yrs and older if they do not qualify for free training with their ATV purchase. The PA DCNR Courses last 3 hrs and costs $50 per person. All students must contact our instructors for class scheduling or equipment rentals.
