Revision of the Motorcycle Operator Licensing System (MOLS) and the Integrating Motorcycle Rider Education and Licensing (IMREL) Guideline Documents
In 2005, 4,553 motorcyclists were killed and an additional 87,000 were injured in traffic crashes in the United States – 13 percent more than the 4,028 motorcyclist fatalities and 14 percent more than the 76,000 motorcyclist injuries reported in 2004. Motorcycle fatalities have increased each year between 1997 (2,216) and 2005 (4,553) with a total increase of 2,437 or 115 percent. This presents a special concern and unique challenge for the driver license, motorcycle safety, rider education and law enforcement communities.
The Motorcycle Technical Working Group (MTWG) was formed to revise the Motorcycle Operator Licensing System (MOLS) and Integrating Motorcycle Rider Education and Licensing (IMREL) guideline documents to assist driver license agencies and rider education programs in the reduction of motorcycle operator crashes and fatalities through improved interagency cooperation, enforcement, public awareness and licensing practices.
The attached document serves as the project definition report for the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) revision effort of the MOLS and IMREL Guideline Documents.
