Motorcycle Awareness Month
A National Recognition Of Riders And Road Safety
Each May, communities across the country come together to recognize Motorcycle Awareness Month, a time dedicated to promoting safety, awareness and respect for motorcyclists on America’s roadways. From city halls to state capitols and even the halls of the U.S. Congress, elected officials are once again passing resolutions that celebrate the contributions of motorcyclists and call attention to the importance of sharing the road.
Throughout the nation, local and state governments are adopting proclamations that highlight the freedom and community that motorcycling represents, while also emphasizing the responsibility all road users share in preventing crashes. At the federal level, members of Congress continue this tradition by introducing and supporting resolutions that recognize the millions of Americans who ride and the organizations that advocate on their behalf.
For the Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF), May holds even greater significance. Our annual Bikers Inside the Beltway event is intentionally scheduled during Motorcycle Awareness Month to harness this heightened visibility and engagement. By bringing riders directly to Washington, D.C., the MRF ensures that the voices of motorcyclists are heard when awareness is at its peak among lawmakers.
“Motorcycle Awareness Month provides a unique opportunity to elevate the issues that matter most to riders,” said MRF President Kirk “Hardtail” Willard. “That’s exactly why we chose May for Bikers Inside the Beltway, when policymakers are already focused on motorcycling, we make sure they’re also hearing directly from the people who live it every day.”
As proclamations are signed and resolutions are adopted, Motorcycle Awareness Month serves as both a celebration and a call to action. Motorists are reminded to remain vigilant, give riders a second look and understand that motorcycles are an integral part of the transportation landscape.
The Motorcycle Riders Foundation encourages all riders to participate in local awareness efforts and continue advocating for policies that protect the future of motorcycling nationwide.
