  Expressing support for the designation of May 2025 as ``Motorcycle 
                       Safety Awareness Month''.

Whereas, according to the Motorcycle Industry Council, motorcycling is a great 
        tradition enjoyed by an estimated 30,000,000 individuals annually in the 
        United States, representing approximately 9 percent of the population;
Whereas motorcycles are a valuable component of the transportation mix;
Whereas motorcycles are fuel-efficient and decrease congestion while having 
        little impact on the transportation infrastructure of the United States;
Whereas the motorcycling community promotes rider safety education, licensing, 
        and motorcycle awareness;
Whereas the motorcycling community is committed to decreasing motorcycle crashes 
        through training and safety education, personal responsibility, and 
        increased public awareness;
Whereas, according to the Motorcycle Industry Council, approximately 87 percent 
        of motorcycles are operated on highways in conjunction with other 
        vehicles;
Whereas motorcyclist fatalities occur more frequently than passenger vehicle 
        motorist fatalities;
Whereas motorcycle awareness is beneficial to all road users and will help 
        decrease motorcycle crashes; and
Whereas the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration promotes Motorcycle 
        Safety Awareness Month to encourage riders to be properly licensed, 
        receive training, and wear personal protective equipment, and to remind 
        all riders and motorists to always share the road: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
