Hearings, Meetings, Proceedings, etc.: Motorcyclist Advisory Council

The State Motorcycle Safety Association (SMSA) supports the Motorcyclist Advisory Council (MAC) but advocates for a more balanced composition that prioritizes public safety over commercial interests. They specifically call for the inclusion of specialists from all "Four Es" of traffic safety (Engineering, Education, Enforcement, and Emergency Services) and request increased federal funding for rider education and behavioral research.

Mitchell Berger, writing in a personal capacity, suggests that the Motorcyclist Advisory Council (MAC) should enhance its coordination and collaboration with NHTSA's Office of EMS and other advisory bodies. He argues that this information exchange would help ground infrastructure recommendations in real-world injury patterns and EMS response challenges to improve motorcyclist safety.
