Abstract:This project addressed the need for information on use of motorcycle personal protective equipment (PPE), including the use of certified helmets, sturdy jackets and pants, over-the-ankle boots, and riding gloves. Although motorcycle safety advocates and safety programs encourage the use of PPE, the use rate is not well known or easily determined. This project sought to develop a methodology suitable for jurisdictions to use when seeking data on the motorcycle PPE usage, and to produce a valid assessment of PPE. The methodology was deployed in Florida across two rounds of data collection. The project outcome supports motorcycle safety programs and highway safety offices in their efforts to obtain information on the use rate of motorcycle safety gear.
