📊 New Research from CUTR

How consistent are motorcycle licensing requirements across the United States?

Our latest report, "Evaluation of Motorcycle Licensing Standards and Requirements in the United States," examines motorcycle licensing and training policies in all 50 states and Washington, D.C.

The study found significant variation in state requirements despite existing national guidelines. Notably, states with mandatory motorcycle permit systems tend to have lower fatality rates, highlighting the potential safety benefits of a more standardized national licensing framework.
