Burbank Police Department Receives Yamaha Outdoor Access Initiative Grant with Help from Jay Leno

Yamaha Donates UMAX Rally 2+2 to Support Motorcycle Training Facility and Promote Safe, Responsible Riding

MARIETTA, Ga. – July 1, 2025 – Yamaha Motor Corp., USA, announced the donation of a UMAX Rally 2+2 utility golf car to the Burbank Police Department’s motorcycle training unit through the Yamaha Outdoor Access Initiative (OAI). The connection between Yamaha and Burbank PD was made possible by longtime Burbank resident, motorcycle enthusiast, and legendary comedian and TV host, Jay Leno.

“As a friend and supporter of the Burbank PD, I heard they needed a reliable support vehicle for their training grounds, and I knew Yamaha would be the perfect partner,” said Leno, who hosted the presentation at his world-famous Jay Leno’s Garage, featured on the popular YouTube series of the same name. “The Yamaha Outdoor Access Initiative is an incredible program that helps keep off-road recreation sustainable and safe for future generations.”

The Burbank Police Department conducts monthly training to ensure its motorcycle officers maintain advanced riding skills. The new Yamaha UMAX Rally 2+2 will be used to support course design, instruction, and operations at the department’s motorcycle training facility.

“We’re extremely thankful for Yamaha’s generous support and commitment to rider safety,” said Rafael Quintero, Chief of Police for the City of Burbank. “Whether it’s on the highway or on a trail, responsible riding starts with training and preparation, and we’re proud to set that example.”

The Yamaha Outdoor Access Initiative is the powersports industry’s leading program dedicated to protecting and enhancing access to public land for motorized and outdoor recreation. Since 2008, OAI has contributed more than $7-million to more than 535 projects across the U.S.

“While most OAI grants fund trail building, maintenance, and conservation efforts, we also recognize that access can be threatened by unsafe or irresponsible behavior,” said Steve Nessl, Yamaha Motorsports Marketing Director. “That’s why we’re proud to support the Burbank PD’s training efforts – it’s a win for the community and for rider education.”
