The number of samples calculated using the Tarro Yamane formula was taken as many as 58 students, using a purposive sampling technique. The analysis used was univariate analysis and bivariate analysis with the chi-square test. Based on the results of univariate analysis, of the predisposing factors in the female gender category, there were 40 people (69%), the highest knowledge was low knowledge, 37 people (63.8%), the most positive attitude was 32 people (55.2%). Of the reinforcing factors for the family support category, 37 people (63.8%) had less family support (63.8%), less safe behavior was 32 people (55.2%). The results of the bivariate analysis research show that there is a significant relationship between knowledge with a p-value of 0.002 (<0.05), attitude with a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05). It is hoped that counseling regarding safe riding can be held on campus to increase knowledge and attitudes about safe riding.
