Registered Motorcycles in Utah

Motorcycle riders now account for one out of every nine U.S. road fatalities each year, with motorcyclist deaths from traffic crashes rising each of the last nine years. Utah has shown an upward trend in the motorcycle serious injury and fatality rate, mirroring the national numbers.

Motorcyclist Deaths in Utah

The goal of this project is to increase motorcycle safety awareness and educate motor vehicle drivers to drive aware and motorcyclists to ride aware.

Motorcyclist Death Rate in Utah

Utah motorcyclists who have not taken a rider education course have been 15 times more likely to be killed in a motorcycle crash than those who have completed a training course. Classes are available for both beginning and experienced riders. To schedule your training or to learn more, call 1-800-532-7691.
