Demonstration to Increase the Number of Properly Endorsed Motorcyclists
Demonstration to Increase the Number of Properly Endorsed MotorcyclistsAll States require motorcycle riders to be licensed or endorsed to operate a motorcycle on public roads.
However, National data indicate one out of four motorcycle riders (25%) involved in fatal crashes in 2008 were riding their vehicles with invalid licenses at the time of the collision, while only 12 percent of drivers of passenger vehicles in fatal crashes did not have valid licenses.Enacting effective countermeasures to increase the licensure of motorcyclists is a huge challenge for the State Highway Safety Office that requires the cooperation of the States Licensing Authority, agencies collecting and analyzing data, law enforcement, and judicial services.
In an effort to develop initiatives that can be implemented in States to increase the number of properly endorsed motorcyclists, NHTSA anticipates funding competitive cooperative agreements for a minimum of 1 year and a maximum of 3 years.
To this end, this cooperative agreement will support the development, implementation, and evaluation of up to three program efforts designed to increase the licensure of motorcycle riders.
