The Congressional Motorcycle Caucus is a bipartisan bicameral caucus in the United States House of Representatives and United States Senate.
The caucus founders and co-chairs are Representatives Michael C. Burgess (R-TX) and Tim Walberg (R-MI). The caucus was founded on June 26, 2009, and is officially registered with the Committee on House Administration, the House committee responsible for regulating caucuses.[1] As of 2024, there were 39 members – six Democrats, thirty-two Republicans, and one Independent.[2]
In an open letter to motorcyclists in 2010, the Congressional Motorcycle Safety Caucus urged riders to participate in the annual Ride to Work Day on June 21, 2010, and encouraged riders and other road users to focus on safety.[3]
In April 2021, Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (R-TX), Congressman Tim Walberg (R-MI), Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA), Senator Gary Peters (D-MI), and the House and Senate Congressional Motorcycle Caucuses introduced a bicameral resolution to designate May as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month.[4]
Before the 117th U.S. Congress ended its session in December 2022, it passed a bipartisan resolution, H. Res. 366, highlighting motorcyclist profiling and promoting collaboration between the motorcycle and law enforcement communities. Michigan Congressman Tim Walberg, co-chair of the Congressional Motorcycle Caucus, sponsored the resolution and introduced it along with fellow co-chair Michael C. Burgess of Texas, plus Cheri Bustos of Illinois and Mark Pocan of Wisconsin.[5]
