SUMMARY : Designates the month of May 2009 as Motorcycle
Awareness Month. Specifically, this resolution makes the
following legislative findings:
1) Motorcycle riding is a popular form of transportation and
recreation for more than one million people and uses fewer
resources, has less wear and tear on public roadways, and
increases available parking areas.
2) The safety hazards created by automobile operators who have
not been educated to watch for motorcyclists are of prime
concern to motorcyclists; and, it is important that drivers
of all vehicles be aware of one another, learn to share the
road, and practice courtesy.
3) It is important to recognize the need for awareness on the
part of all drivers, especially with regard to sharing the
road with motorcycles, and to honor motorcyclists' many
contributions to the communities in which they live and ride.
