To all Motorcycle Riders and Enthusiasts:

Where does your Endorsement Fee go?  It does not go to the WSP!
 
Instruction permit       $15       MC program fund   $15
Original endorse          $25       MC program fund   $10    Application fee $5  Cost to prepare doc $10
Renewal Endorse         $25       to Motorcycle Fund $25
 
Every  penny of the renewal endorsement fees go to the program.   Original/initial endorsement is split as above however ZERO dollars from the endorsement fees goes to the State Patrol. 
 
If you recall the $5 application fee currently goes to the Highway Safety Fund but legislation has been submitted to have that $5 go to the motorcycle safety fund and the $10 for document preparation goes to the contract company that prepares the licensing documents for the state. 
At renewal the entire $25 goes to the motorcycle fund.

 
 State Patrol gets it's money from Vehicle Registration from Cars and bikes.
