The Clatsop County Sheriffs Office is making available All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Safety classes to Clatsop County youth Saturday and Sunday at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds. Students registering for this program will be required to have obtained the Oregon ATV Safety Education Program card prior to enrolling. To obtain this card go to rideatvoregon.org and complete the online training. This training is free.

The Oregon State University/4-H evaluations take place Saturday, beginning at 10 a.m. To register, go online to OregonATVSafety.com. There is a $20 fee for the evaluation, which will be collected online when registering.

Two ATV Safety Institute Ridercourse classes will be conducted Sunday at the fairgrounds. The 9 a.m. class will be for youths ages 6 to 11, and the 2 p.m. class will be for youths ages 12 to 15. To register for these classes, call (800) 887-2887. There is a $55 fee for these classes, but Oregon residents are eligible for a $50 subsidy, making the cost to the student only $5. Be sure to request this subsidy when registering.

There will be one 50 cc and one 90 cc loaner ATV available for each scheduled session. To request a loaner for the Saturday session contact the instructor at (503) 791-4978. For the Sunday sessions request the loaner when registering.

By January, all youths riding ATVs on public lands in Oregon will be required to have completed a hands-on class.
