Key Points

The Senate officially recognized May 2026 as a month to focus on motorcycle safety. This move aims to remind everyone on the road to look out for riders and share the road safely.
About 30 million Americans ride motorcycles every year. The resolution points out that motorcycles are fuel efficient and help reduce traffic jams, but riders face higher risks of fatal crashes than people in cars.
One big concern is that nearly half of fatal two-vehicle motorcycle crashes happen when a car turns left in front of a rider. This resolution supports efforts to teach drivers to be more aware of motorcycles at intersections.
