This resolution expresses Senate support for recognizing May 2026 as "Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month," an annual campaign backed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). About 30 million people ride motorcycles in the United States each year, and motorcyclist fatalities occur at higher rates than passenger-vehicle fatalities — with nearly half of two-vehicle fatal crashes involving a car turning left into a motorcycle's path. The Senate encourages rider safety education, proper licensing, and protective gear, and calls on all motorists to share the road with motorcyclists. The resolution creates no new law, allocates no funding, and imposes no requirements on any government agency or individual.
