Common Factors in Fatalities
Safety DivisionMotorcycle Initiatives
• Based on Relevance in Crashes
• Major improvement in cooperation across services – Our problems are more alike than different (DSOC)– Standardize Training & PPE at DOD level– Prohibit/discourage local variation from the standard
Identified Issue Approach
Predominance of Sport Bikes
Develop/Implement MSRC (ARC-ST)
Training Shortfalls Training Continuum; Contracted Solution; Advanced CSS/TC/DBS
Speed Track Days; Mentoring; Clubs; Semper Ride
Protective Gear De-emphasize Reflective Vest; PSA on Riding Gear vs Battle Gear
Safety DivisionPMV-2 Working Group
• Initiatives– Uniform DOD Motorcycle Training– Uniform PPE Requirements & Base Access– Flip Books– Focus Groups
• Mentoring Modules – 36 Plans on Maintenance, Riding Skills, Attitude, & Performance for the Club Setting
• Participation by Industry– Motorcycle Safety Foundation– Keith Code/Lee Parks– National Safety Council

Endorsement
Required
Hey Louisiana DMV, I am stationed in
California, bought a bike and need my
endorsement.
OK, Come home and take the
Louisiana course.
I can’t. Have to deploy in 4 weeks. I
already took the BRC.
Too bad. For Louisiana you have to take OUR
course.
If I can’t get endorsement I won’t be allowed to ride – I guess I better not tell my
Sergeant I have a bikeRiders “Under the Radar”- Over-Represented in Crashes- No Training Opportunities- No Riding Mentorship- Risk Disciplinary Action- Risk Local Traffic Violations- Promote attitude of Non-Compliance

Safety DivisionWhat Can Military Offer States?
• How Services are like States:– Hierarchy, Regulations – Riding populations
• How Services are NOT like States:– Can change policy without legislation and independent
of public opinion– Greater control of members – Greater ability to measure results
• Services can test concepts for effectiveness– Regional Concentrations can/should work with State task
forces– Not every idea can work with general populace, but
some can!– The “Training doesn’t impact crashes” paradigm
Safety DivisionMilitary Riders
• While military riders may exist in higher concentrations around bases, and motorcycle riders represent a higher percentage of the military than the population at large, military riders represent a statistically lower risk to public safety than the population at large
• Services provide greater oversight and accountability on member riders than exists in the population at large– Required initial rider training– Required periodic refresher training– Command notification and Base registration– Opportunities for Advanced Training, Clubs and
Mentorship– More severe penalties for infractions such as loss of pay
or rank, restriction, etc. which do not require same due process
– Significantly lower incidence of DUI among motorcycle riders
– Helmets required regardless of State law
