About the MRA ACT

The MRA ACT represents motorcylists from the ACT and surrounding districts in government forums reponsible for legislation, road and traffic conditions and road safety.

Motorcyclists are a small percentage of the road user population. Our needs are often overlooked. We need to protect ourselves from unfair legislation, ill considered road engineering practices, and ineffective and mistargeted road safety strategies.

The MRA ACT actively participates in road safety forums at Federal, State and ACT Government levels, either directly with ACT Government, or 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 liaise with ACT government on local road, traffic and parking conditions.

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.

MRA also has a community focus. We support local charities such as the Smith Family and Salvation Army, and are now supporting motorcycle crash victims in a variety of ways.

We encourage all motorcylists from the ACT to contribute to our efforts either through membership or active involvement in our committee and project teams.

Or just get involved in our social side - join us for a ride or our monthly dinners, bring your learner or new rider friends along to our Discovery Rides, or come to our other social functions. Check out our Calendar for more details.

The specific aims of the Association as per our constitution are:

• to provide a link between motorcyclists and the Government, other authorities and the general public. 
• to support other bodies working for the betterment of motorcycling
• to work for improved road safety through road user education, driver awareness, improved road surfaces and safer roadside hardware.
• to work for an improved public image of motorcyclists and motorcycling, through well-organised public events and actions and to show a responsible attitude.
• to work for laws that protect motorcyclists' safety on the roads and their rights as citizens.
• to participate in charity and community service activities.
• to provide social activities for motorcyclists and their families

MRA ACT is partly sponsored by Shannons insurers.
