RESOLUTION

Expressing support for the designation of May 2026 as “Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month”.

    Whereas, according to the Motorcycle Industry Council, motorcycling is a great tradition enjoyed by an estimated 30,000,000 individuals annually in the United States, representing approximately 9 percent of the population;

    Whereas motorcycles are a valuable component of the transportation mix;

    Whereas motorcycles are fuel-efficient and decrease congestion while having little impact on the transportation infrastructure of the United States;

    Whereas the motorcycling community promotes rider safety education, licensing, and motorcycle awareness;

    Whereas the motorcycling community is committed to decreasing motorcycle crashes through training and safety education, personal responsibility, and increased public awareness;

    Whereas, according to the Motorcycle Industry Council, approximately 87 percent of motorcycles are operated on highways in conjunction with other vehicles;

    Whereas motorcyclist fatalities occur more frequently than passenger vehicle motorist fatalities;

    Whereas, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (referred to in this preamble as “NHTSA”), 46 percent of 2-vehicle crashes involving a motorcycle and another type of vehicle that result in a motorcyclist fatality involve a vehicle turning left into the path of a motorcycle;

    Whereas motorcycle awareness is critical to ensuring all road users watch out for motorcycles, in order to decrease motorcycle crashes; and

    Whereas NHTSA promotes Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month to encourage riders to be properly licensed, receive training, and wear personal protective equipment, and to remind all riders and motorists to always share the road: Now, therefore, be it
