The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) contracted with the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) to develop a 5-year strategic plan for improving motorcycle safety in the State of Texas. The Texas strategic action plan for motorcycles: 2013-2018 uses an integrated approach to identify implementable actions to make the road environment and infrastructure safer for motorcyclists and other powered two and three wheelers, and address driver and rider actions that contribute to the number of motorcycle-involved crashes on the roadway system. The plan ensures that motorcycles receive appropriate recognition in future transportation policy and planning in the State of Texas. The workshop helps to shape a new strategic direction for the use of motorcycles and the safety of motorcyclists over the next five years in the State. (Author/publisher)
