ABOUT OUR PROGRAM

This program focuses on reducing the rising rate of motorcycle crashes resulting in injuries and fatalities. The program includes support for various campaigns and events including Drive Aware. Ride Aware., Share the Road, educational opportunities at safety fairs, motorcycle events and driver education classes.

Utah motorcyclists who have not taken a rider education course have been 15 times more likely to be killed in a motorcycle crash than those who have completed a training course. Classes are available for both beginning and experienced riders. To schedule your training or to learn more, call 1-800-532-7691.

DRIVE AWARE. RIDE AWARE.

The Drive Aware. Ride Aware. campaign was launched in 2008 to increase awareness of motorcycle safety in Utah.

 

 

Registered Motorcycles in Utah

Motorcycle riders now account for one out of every nine U.S. road fatalities each year, with motorcyclist deaths from traffic crashes rising each of the last nine years. During the past few years Utah has shown an upward trend in the motorcycle serious injury and fatality rate, mirroring the national numbers.

Motorcyclist Deaths in Utah

The goal of this project is to increase motorcycle safety awareness and educate motor vehicle drivers to drive aware and motorcyclists to ride aware.

Motorcyclist Death Rate in Utah

With help from both motor vehicle drivers and motorcycle riders we can save the lives of many on our roads. Please Drive Aware and Ride Aware.
