WHAT IS ABATE?
American Bikers Aiming Toward Education, ABATE, has been in existence since the early 1970s and is comprised of individual and autonomous organizations in virtually every state. The purpose of ABATE is to address issues affecting motorcycle riders at a state level, as well as to influence legislation at a national level through support of organizations such as The Motorcycle Riders Foundation and The American Motorcyclists Association. The state organizations also interact so as to formulate regional goals and coordinate political efforts. In its simplest form, ABATE is a grass roots lobby advocating the well-being of motorcycle riders through safe riding habits and rider training, as well as matters of restrictive legislation aimed toward motorcycle riders and motorcycles. ABATE also addresses issues such as motorcycle awareness by the general driving public, discriminatory insurance practices toward motorcycle riders, safe road conditions, reduced tolls, space conscious parking, age-limits on passengers, etc.
ABATE of Nebraska is comprised of 11 districts throughout the state, each of which hold monthly meetings and events and have elected officers who also sit on the Board of Directors which meets quarterly and sets the state agenda.
