The new US Transportation Secretary has targeted motorcycle saftey as an area of concern. A motorcyclist herself, Mary Peters has put motorcycle safety on the to-do list for the Dept of Transportation.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters put the national spotlight on motorcycling safety recently when she visited the Harley-Davidson Motor Company in Milwaukee, talking about safety programs. Those programs are supported by the AMA.
Peters, a longtime motorcyclist, toured the Harley facility and met with workers on October 26 in her first public appearance since being sworn in as transportation secretary. She was accompanied by Nicole Nason, administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which is a part of the U.S. Transportation Department.
Saying more must be done to improve motorcycle safety, Peters noted her department is working with the transportation community, including state and local governments, to find ways to make U.S. roads as safe as possible.
