Rep. Walberg (R-MI), Balderson (R-OH), Van Orden (R-WI), Norcross (D-NJ).
Introduced in House, referred to committee.
This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for designating May 2026 as "Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month." It aims to raise public awareness about motorcycle safety and encourage safe practices for riders and other motorists. The lead sponsor, Representative Tim Walberg, is a Republican from Michigan. The bill has been introduced in the House and sent to the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee for review.
Introduced Apr 29, 2026
The resolution has been introduced in the House of Representatives and referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. For it to move forward, the committee would need to consider and approve it, potentially leading to a vote by the full House. As a House Resolution (H. Res.), it would not need Senate approval or the President's signature to be adopted by the House.
If this resolution passes, you might notice more public campaigns or educational efforts during May 2026 highlighting motorcycle safety. This could lead to a greater understanding among drivers about how to safely interact with motorcycles on the road. For motorcyclists, it reinforces the importance of training, proper licensing, and wearing protective gear. The goal is to reduce accidents involving motorcycles through heightened awareness.

Resolutions like this, which declare support for an awareness month, are typically non-controversial and pass with broad support. They are generally seen as positive steps to highlight important safety issues without creating new laws or spending mandates.
