U.S. Representative Jones Joins Congressional Motorcycle Safety Caucus
U.S. Representative Walter B. Jones (R-NC) officially joined the Congressional Motorcycle Safety Caucus on June 1. He joins 11 other Members of Congress in this bipartisan group committed to improving and advancing the safety of motorcyclists.

"I have been a strong advocate of motorcycle safety for many years now," says Jones. "It is important that riders and motorists alike are reminded to take every precaution to keep our riders safe and this caucus serves as a great platform."

The Motorcycle Safety Caucus and its members have been instrumental in focusing Congress' attention on the safety of motorcyclists by passing Congressional Resolutions supporting the goals of May as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, hosting a Capitol Hill event attended by the Secretary of Transportation, drawing attention to Ride to Work Day and ensuring that motorcycle safety is remembered in the transportation reauthorization process.

"We are excited that the Caucus is growing and encourage all riders to contact their Representative to encourage him or her to join as well," says Duane Taylor, MIC's Director of Federal Affairs.
