Ernst, Peters Celebrate Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) and Gary Peters (D-Mich.), co-chairs of the Senate Motorcycle Caucus, celebrated that the Senate passed their bipartisan resolution to designate May as “Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month” to promote safe driving practices for the millions of motorcycle riders in America.

“From delivering messages as a young girl to my dad while he was working out in the fields to riding through the rolling hills of Northeast Iowa with family and friends, some of my most cherished memories include motorcycles so I’m proud to designate May as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month,” said Senator Ernst. “As the weather warms up and folks hit the road, I’m excited to share my love of riding while highlighting safety and rider education.”

“I’ve always said there’s no better way to get from point A to point B than on a motorcycle. But we must ensure that our roads are safe for both drivers and riders,” said Senator Peters. “With summer around the corner and more riders hitting the open road, I’m proud the Senate has once again passed this bipartisan resolution to promote best practices that will keep folks safe and informed.”
