YourVoice.Now Summary
No new rules, no money — the Senate backed May 2026 as a month for motorcycle safety and awareness.
The details
Most people will see no change in daily life. The Senate agreed to this resolution on May 19, 2026. It supports naming May 2026 as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. Nothing here creates a rule, spends money, or asks anything of a federal agency. The month is not new. The federal road-safety agency, NHTSA, already promotes it each year. The resolution adds a short list of safety facts about riding. It cites the Motorcycle Industry Council's estimate of about 30 million riders each year. Riders die in crashes more often than people in cars do. Deadly crashes between a motorcycle and another vehicle often share a pattern. In nearly half, the other driver turns left into the rider's path. The Senate urges riders to get licensed, get trained, and wear safety gear. It urges drivers to watch for motorcycles and share the road.
