Abstract

This report discusses 10-year trends in fatal motorcycle crashes in the United States. The report uses 4 national data sources on motorcycles to assess these trends, including the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (all fatal traffic crashes in the United States), the Motorcycle Industry Council (motorcycle ownership and sales), Federal Highway Administration (motorcycle registration and miles traveled), and the US Census Bureau population values. Although the report is descriptive, it presents some very disturbing data plus potential insight to better understand the findings.
