Bill > SR8692

This resolution, originating from the Washington State Senate, officially designates the month of May as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. It acknowledges the significant presence of motorcyclists on Washington's roads, their contribution to transportation infrastructure funding, and the commitment of the motorcycling community to safety. The resolution highlights the disproportionately high rate of traffic fatalities involving motorcyclists compared to their representation among registered vehicles, referencing a campaign by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a federal agency, to educate motorists on driving safely around motorcycles. It also recognizes the charitable work of various motorcycle groups. Finally, the resolution mandates that copies of this declaration be sent to several organizations and state agencies, including AAA Washington, ABATE of Washington, Bikers Against Child Abuse, the Washington Road Riders Association, the Washington State Patrol, and the Washington State Department of Transportation.
