The objective of this research project was to develop a statewide plan to reduce motorcycle crashes and injuries in the state of Texas. The project included a review of published literature on current and proposed countermeasures for reducing the incidence and/or severity of motorcycle-involved crashes and related injuries, a review of existing and emerging Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and other advanced technologies for motorcycles and other vehicles, an analysis of Texas motorcycle crash and injury data, and a statewide survey of Texas motorcycle riders that explored the demographics, riding histories, training and licensing status, use of protective gear, crash involvement, and attitudes toward various motorcycle safety countermeasures. These data collection activities culminated in a list of potential motorcycle crash and injury countermeasures; these countermeasures were then evaluated and prioritized in a workshop attended by motorcycle safety experts and advocates.
