The Coalition of Independent Riders(COIR)- http://usdefenders.org/COIR.htm and T3RG Motorcycle Schools - http://www.t3rg.com/ have been lobbying to kill the MOST program.

It is a self-funded program. The management/admin is also covered under the program. Eliminating it would put the burden on the Dept of Revenue since they oversee drivers licenses in the state of Colorado. See the first post for the impact if it is done away with.

As far as if there is a $$ element motivating the repeal, I think that is part of it but more so it's about control. ABATE of Colorado is both the largest motorcyclist rights organization and the largest rider education organization under the MOST program in the state. COIR is a motorcyclist rights organization that has been in Colorado for two years now and is trying to become the preeminent rights organization here. T3RG is the 2nd largest motorcycle training organization under MOST in the state. So you can clearly see the the motivation.
