The Norwegian Public Roads Administration, in co-operation with the Joint Transport Research Centre of the OECD and the International Transport Forum, hosted a Workshop on motorcycling safety in Lillehammer on 10-11 June 2008. The objectives of the workshop were to identify the real problems of motorcyclist safety, discuss practical solutions to these problems, and propose a set of measures to improve safety. Nearly 100 expert participants from 21 countries, representing the main stakeholders involved in motorcycling safety met in Lillehammer. The workshop was one of the rare events at international level where high-profile stakeholders had the occasion to meet and exchange their ideas and views on motorcycle safety. The focus of the workshop was mainly on the 50 countries of the International Transport Forum, but safety issues at the global level were also considered.(Author/publisher)
