About Puget Sound Safety
Puget Sound Safety was established in 1996 by Bret and Chrisie Tkacs. Their dedication to furthering motorcycle safety education and awareness throughout Pierce & Thurston counties has helped countless people in Washington become better riders. Bret has even been asked by a variety of different magazines to write articles educating riders on how to avoid mishaps on the road, share proper riding techniques and express the importance of proper training. Motorcycle awareness doesn’t stop at the rider themselves it is for everyone who operates a motorized vehicle; This is the reason Puget Sound Safety spends much of their time getting the word out by educating their instructors, participating in mall shows and different motorcycling events, visiting dealerships, working with and developing flyers. Their mission is to make our roads a safer place to ride.
The Puget Sound Safety office staff will answer your questions and work to point you in the right direction on which course is going to best serve your goals. They strive to get every caller in a course regardless of how far classes are booked out. In their continuing efforts to work for the students and meet their different scheduling needs, they were the first school in State to Washington open weekday classes, two-day classes, as well as night classes. They are truly here for you. If they do not have a class that meets your schedule they will try to create one around your schedule. Puget Sound Safety was also the first school to incorporate the Non-Subsidized (full tuition) classes into their schedule meeting the growing demand for classes and reducing wait times for students wanting to get in.
Puget Sound Safety listens to their students’ requests and tries to incorporate them into their program as much as possible. With the endless evaluation forms from students asking for more ride time, it was clear that an Additional Riding Session was needed and was quickly put into use by Puget Sound Safety and is now being conducted all over the state. Students were also asking for a class about simple motorcycle maintenance but didn’t know where to turn therefore, with enough demand they created a course tailored for the Novice-Beginner or the Beginner–Intermediate Rider.
What about Dirt Courses or Advanced Riding Courses you ask... again they have those too! Yet another example of truly taking care of the needs of Washington Riders and making sure everybody gets the training they need or want whether you are a 6 year old or moving into the golden years. As the years go on they will continue to find new and innovative ways to keep filling the requests from their students. Puget Sound Safety stands by their word of being there for you.
They are not just another safety school they are truly the best! A safety school that truly is dedicated in helping every rider become the best they can be!
