Abstract:Since motorcyclists are more vulnerable than enclosed vehicle users on the road, they are substantially more likely to get injured in a crash. While evidence-based countermeasures are available, this project aims to shorten the implementation cycle in the translation of research into practice at the state level. For this, statewide motorcycle safety plans provide a critical intervention opportunity. Such safety plans often identify risk factors and consider countermeasures. To identify risk factors, recent motorcycle crash data in Tennessee was analyzed. Then motorcycle safety practices across the United States and other countries were reviewed to assist Tennessee in formulating strategies to reduce motorcycle crashes and injuries.
