MRA’s Role
The MRA actively participates in road safety forums at Federal, State and ACT Government levels either directly with ACT Government and through our membership and affiliations with Australian Motorcycle Council.
We are directly represented on the Australian Transport Safety Bureau Motorcycle Safety Consultative Forum (ConCom).
We have a close relationship with the Motorcycle Council of NSW as being an island territory many of our riding issues are dealt with by that body.
