This resolution designates May 2025 as "Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Month" in Pennsylvania, highlighting the importance of motorcycle safety and awareness on the state's roadways. The resolution acknowledges that motorcyclists have the same rights as other motor vehicle drivers and emphasizes the need for all road users to be extra alert and share the road safely. It provides context about Pennsylvania's motorcycle landscape, noting that the state has nearly 375,000 registered motorcycles and over 800,000 licensed motorcycle operators, and citing recent transportation department statistics showing approximately 3,500 motorcycle accidents in 2023 resulting in around 230 fatalities. The resolution encourages Pennsylvanians to spread awareness about motorcycle safety, support safety programs, and promote responsible motorcycle use. It also recognizes the ongoing efforts of organizations like the Pennsylvania Motorcycle Safety Program, Alliance of Bikers Aimed Toward Education of Pennsylvania, and the Pennsylvania Motorcycle Dealers Association in advocating for motorcycle safety throughout the month of May.
