  31. What We Know about Motorcycles Motorcyclists have high death rates Motorcycle deaths are increasing Motorcycles are becoming popular About 50% of motorcycle driver deaths involved in Single vehicle crashes Demographics--average age of riders is going up (37) Engine size is increasing—The higher the engine size, the higher the probability of being fatally injured

  32. What We Know about Motorcycles Rider Characteristics differ by types of motorcycles Alcohol use is a problem among motorcyclists Supersport motorcycles have the highest overall collisions Motorcycles don’t have safety gear that is comparable to what we found in passenger cars Rider safety training and education tend to reduce motorcycle related crashes (based on anecdotal information). It should be noted that the relationship between the rider training and reduction of crashes has not been established yet.

  33. Future Plan (Program Side) increase access to rider education programs Increase the proportion of motorcyclists who are properly licensed; reduce the number of motorcyclists riding while impaired; increase motorcyclists’ visibility; increase helmet usage; and increase other motorists’ awareness of motorcyclist

  34. Future Plan (Data Side) • Sample Survey (SOS): Draw a sample of all motorcycle owners and send out a survey questionnaire to find out the following information: • VMT • Month/week of riding • Drinking and riding • Helmet Use • Previous crashes • Purpose of riding (e.g., work or pleasure) • Training status
