SENATE RESOLUTION 310--RECOGNIZING THE MOTORCYCLE SAFETY FOUNDATION FOR 
                      50 YEARS OF SAFETY EDUCATION

  Mr. PETERS (for himself, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Budd, Ms. Ernst, Mr. 
Tillis, and Mr. Casey) submitted the following resolution; which was 
referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation:

                              S. Res. 310

       Whereas, in 1973, the Motorcycle Safety Foundation began 
     creating the first motorcycle rider safety training 
     curriculum in the United States;
       Whereas the Motorcycle Safety Foundation is a nonprofit 
     organization providing motorcycle rider training and 
     education;
       Whereas the Motorcycle Safety Foundation meets the needs of 
     motorcycle riders by continuing to create courses for the 
     most popular bikes on the road and on the trail, including 
     the hands-on Adventure Bike Rider Course and the Dirtbike 
     School courses, that enable motorcycle riders to get the most 
     out of their bikes;
       Whereas new and experienced riders can benefit from 
     learning basic motorcycle controls, safe-riding habits, and 
     street strategies in a comprehensive, research-based 
     curriculum created by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation;
       Whereas 10,000,000 motorcyclists have taken the Basic Rider 
     Course taught by Motorcycle Safety Foundation rider coaches 
     in the last 50 years;
       Whereas 46 States and the Armed Forces use Motorcycle 
     Safety Foundation curriculum as their motorcycle license 
     waiver course;
       Whereas nearly 10,000 rider coaches teach Motorcycle Safety 
     Foundation curriculum at 2,700 training sites across the 
     United States; and
       Whereas the efforts of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation are 
     aimed at making the roadways of the United States safer for 
     both motorcycle riders and non-riders: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate recognizes the Motorcycle Safety 
     Foundation for 50 years of safety education and improving the 
     ride for motorcycle riders across the United States.
