Tested and proven content & platform.
The course was developed in 2010 by The Center for Cycling Education as a classroom offering to dismiss traffic tickets. This was carried out in conjunction with the Austin Cycling Association (now Bike Austin), the City of Austin Municipal Court, and Bike Texas (the statewide cycling advocacy organization). 70 classroom sessions were conducted before the online course was launched in April 2013.
More than 1500 people have taken the classroom or online course to dismiss a traffic ticket. Many others have taken the online course out of general interest, to gain a pedicab license, or to meet training requirements for their employers. The content is designed to be applicable for cyclists of all experience levels.
The systems used to develop and deliver this training are industry-leading, and we have years of experience in their use and implementation.
Includes an option for a brief survey so you can let us know what you think of the course.
