In September 2006, AARSI successfully collaborated with government agencies and Parliament to draft and adopt new motorcycle safety regulations for motorcycle taxis. These new regulations limit motorcycle taxis to specific routes and operating hours, allow only one passenger per motorcycle, and mandate safety apparel for riders and passengers.
Between then and June, 2011, AARSI held several pre-sensitization workshops for motorcycle operators in Lagos, Abuja, Niger, Imo and Bayelsa states as well as procured and distributed over 20,000 tropicalised crash helmets across the country. This has served as a springboard for the safety riding training as well as the implementation of the crash helmet pilot scheme.
