Mitigation Tools for Improving Rider Safety on Mopeds and Seated Motor Scooters

Relative to passenger cars, mopeds and seated motor scooters are associated with a higher risk for serious or fatal injuries in the event of a traffic crash. However, moped and scooter riders are sometimes not specifically recognized by statewide safety initiatives, as they are sometimes grouped together with related vehicles such as motorcycles.

BTSCRP WebResource 2: Mitigation Tools for Improving Rider Safety on Mopeds and Seated Motor Scooters, from TRB's Behavioral Traffic Safety Cooperative Research Program, provides tools for both decision-makers and the general public for safety improvements based on identified risk factors. It is a companion to BTSCRP Research Report 11: Improving Rider Safety for Mopeds and Seated Motor Scooters of 50cc or Less.
