Toward Education was incorporated in 1983, and was originally founded for the purpose of amending the mandatory helmet law. We are not opposed to helmets or helmet use, but are opposed to laws which mandate such use. We remain dedicated to the principle that adult citizens, living in a free society, have the right to decide whether or not to wear a helmet while operating a motorcycle. But times have changed. The issues have changed from individual rights and preferences to issues which relate to the continued existence of the motorcycle as an available mode of transportation.
Motorcyclists are a diverse and independent lot.
But we can no longer afford to segregate ourselves into separate camps based on our differences. We must work together based on our common love of motorcycling to defend motorcycling as we now know it and regain freedoms lost in the past.
