This resolution expresses support for designating May 2026 as "Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month" to highlight the importance of motorcycle safety. It recognizes motorcycles as a valuable and fuel-efficient component of the transportation system, used by millions annually, and acknowledges their contribution to decreasing congestion. The resolution notes that motorcyclist fatalities occur more frequently than passenger vehicle fatalities, with a significant percentage of two-vehicle crashes involving other vehicles turning into a motorcycle's path. Therefore, it emphasizes the critical need for motorcycle awareness among all road users to decrease crashes and ensure safe road sharing. The Senate encourages comprehensive rider safety education, training, and the use of proper gear for safe motorcycle operation. It also affirms motorcyclists' right to the road, urging all motorists to safely share roadways and supports the overall goals of Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month.
