June 18 Is Motorcycle and Scooter Ride to Work Day

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
15 June 2018


Washington, DC

Monday, June 18, is the 27th annual Motorcycle and Scooter Ride to Work Day. Compared to other vehicles, motorcycles face many safety challenges on the road, including smaller size, reduced visibility, and nonstandard maneuvers such as downshifting and weaving. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration offers the following tips for a safe Ride to Work Day:

In 2016, there were 5,286 motorcyclists (4,950 riders and 336 passengers) killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes. Motorcycles only account for 3 percent of registered vehicles on the road, but motorcyclists are dramatically overrepresented in fatal crashes—especially those involving alcohol.
