IMPORTANT NOTICE
Due to the high level of alertness on all U.S. Military installations, every non-military person (including our staff) must have a background check done in order to be granted access onto Great Lakes Naval Station (GTL) for our motorcycle rider courses.
To conduct the vetting process, we are required to provide the naval station's Security Command with personal identifiable data. Pre-registered students have been notified by email. Therefore, we request you check your email account which you registered with for additional information not provided in this notice. Please, do not send this information via email, as email communication is not considered to be a secure form of data transmission.
Be aware, that this is a situation we have no control over, and we are doing our very best to ensure you get the training you are seeking. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Free motorcycle rider training classes offered throughout Illinois are part of the Cycle Rider Safety Training Program. Courses are administered through the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety, Springfield, Illinois, and supported by Public Act 82-649, the Cycle Rider Safety Training Act. The Illinois Department of Transportation makes these courses possible with funding provided from a portion of Illinois motorcycle registration and driver's license fees.
