(Central News Agency reporter Huang Chiao-wen, Taipei, May 5) The Ministry of Transportation and Communications' Directorate General of Highways (DGH) has been promoting a motorcycle driver training subsidy program since 2019. The DGH today announced that it is collaborating with Hotai Leasing this year, with Hotai Leasing injecting NT$2 million in subsidies, expecting to increase over 1,400 subsidy quotas to encourage the public to undergo regular driver training.
To enhance the riding safety of motorcycle riders, the DGH has continuously promoted the motorcycle driver training subsidy program since 2019. The DGH issued a press release stating that this year, it will once again combine private resources to expand the effectiveness of the program, partnering with Hotai Leasing to jointly promote the 2026 motorcycle driver training subsidy program.
The DGH originally planned to subsidize approximately 59,500 people this year. With Hotai Leasing's injection of NT$2 million in subsidies, the DGH expects to add over 1,400 subsidy quotas, encouraging the public to undergo regular driver training, strengthen defensive driving concepts, and improve overall road safety.
The DGH stated that to continuously expand the policy's effectiveness, this collaboration with Hotai Leasing will offer subsidies from May 2026 until the quotas are used up, targeting two types of individuals: general public and low-to-middle income households.
Among them, general public who register for ordinary heavy motorcycle training classes and obtain a license can receive a subsidy of NT$1,300 per person; for those who qualify as low-to-middle income households, full subsidies are provided to reduce their financial burden and help them participate in driver training with peace of mind.
The DGH pointed out that the improvement of traffic safety relies on the joint efforts of public and private sectors. This cooperation, in addition to expanding the capacity of driver training subsidies, also hopes to play a pioneering role, attracting more companies to pay attention to and invest in the field of traffic safety, and jointly create a safer and friendlier road environment.
The DGH stated that those interested in participating in motorcycle driver training can visit the Motor Vehicle Services website (URL: https://www.mvdis.gov.tw/) to inquire about nearby motorcycle training class information or contact a motor vehicle office for registration.
