Strategic Highway Safety Plan
The CHP Motorcycle Safety Program (MSP) Unit is responsible for co-leading and participating in a dedicated challenge area. The MSP Unit is in the process of developing action items in collaboration with its partners including the traffic safety stakeholders, Department of Motor Vehicles, California Department of Transportation, and the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS).
California Motorcycle-Involved Statistics
Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System data indicates that motorcyclist fatalities in California have increased yearly. These increases in motorcyclist deaths have occurred at a time when significant gains were achieved in other areas of traffic safety. Motorcyclists are over represented in the overall numbers of traffic deaths in California.
