A resolution expressing support for the designation of May 2025 as "Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month".

This is a Senate resolution expressing support for designating May 2025 as “Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month.” It highlights the role of motorcycles in the transportation system, notes their fuel efficiency and on-road use alongside other vehicles, and emphasizes the importance of rider safety education, proper licensing, and protective gear. The resolution frames motorcycle safety and road-sharing as a shared responsibility among all road users, aligns with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) awareness efforts, and calls for recognizing the goals of Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. It is a symbolic, non-funding declaration meant to promote public awareness and safety practices rather than establish new laws or programs. Key context included in the resolution notes that about 30 million Americans ride motorcycles annually (roughly 9% of the population), that motorcycles contribute to transportation efficiency with relatively modest impact on infrastructure, and that motorcyclist fatalities occur more often than fatalities among car occupants. It also points to the fact that most motorcycles operate on highways with other vehicles, underscoring the need for shared-responsibility safety messaging.
