Motorcycle and Scooter Day Turnout Expected to Increase
This year's eighteenth commuting demonstration event, to be held on
*Monday June 15th*, is expected to double the number of riders on the
road, according to Ride to Work, a non-profit advocacy organization.
According to the United States Census Bureau and the Department of
Transportation, over eighty million cars and light trucks are used for
daily commuting on American roads, and about 200,000 motorcycles and
scooters are a regular part of this mix. On Ride To Work Day, the
practical side of riding becomes more visible as a larger number of
America's 8,000,000 cycles and scooters are ridden to work.
"Riding to work on this day shows the positive value of motorcycles and
scooters for transportation. For several hundred thousand commuters,
riding is an economical, efficient and socially responsible form of
mobility that saves energy, helps the environment and provides a broad
range of other public benefits," states Andy Goldfine, the event
organizer. Motorcycle and scooter clubs and organizations in many
countries encourage their members to ride to work on this day.
Ride to Work Day shows how riding makes parking easier and help traffic
flow better. Motorcycles and scooters consume less resources per mile
than automobiles, and they take up less space in parking areas and on
roads. Riders seek employer support for this form of transportation, and
increased government and public awareness about riding's many benefits.
