Key Points

This resolution asks the House of Representatives to officially recognize May 2026 as a month for motorcycle safety. It aims to remind all drivers to look out for motorcycles and share the road safely.
About 30 million Americans ride motorcycles every year. The resolution notes that while motorcycles help reduce traffic and use less fuel, riders are at a much higher risk of being killed in crashes than people in cars.
The effort focuses on preventing common accidents, such as when a car turns left into a motorcycle's path. It also encourages riders to take safety classes, get the right licenses, and wear protective gear like helmets.
