This is a press release from the California Highway Patrol:
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) is stepping up motorcycle safety awareness statewide as part of Get Educated and Ride Safe (GEARS) III, a yearlong, federally funded program focused on educational and enforcement efforts.
The primary goal of GEARS III is to reduce the number of motorcycle-involved crashes and victims. In federal fiscal year (FFY) 2017-18, the number of motorcycle-involved crashes increased approximately 3 percent within CHP jurisdiction. However, provisional FFY 2018-19 data show a 10 percent decrease.
"The ultimate objective is to improve not just motorcycle safety, but highway safety overall," CHP Commissioner Warren Stanley said. "The additional education and enforcement funded by GEARS III helps our officers meet this objective."
