TRCC will have a data summary ready topresent at the next task force meeting in June. The most recent data available isthrough 2016. NDOT now has a crash data tool available online (http://data-ndot.opendata.arcgis.com/pages/crash-data).Action: Schedule demonstration as part of the next task force meeting.
Data needs for MC Task Force:V1, V2, At-faultMale/FemaleType of motorcycleSpeed vs posted speedRear-end: how many rear-end when MC is Vehicle 2Correlate data with Training information (trained riders vs untrained)
Action: Tom Lightfoot to research and report back at next task force meeting.Any questions or requests for crash data, contact Tom Lightfoot at NDOT([email protected]).
V. Nevada Rider Program Report· Upcoming training workshops scheduled for Las Vegas and Carson City.· Current wait time for training at CSN (3 different locations) is 3-5 weeks.
VI. Update on New Programs (see attached)· Look Twice Campaign – Safety Awareness Month· Governor proclamation that May is Motorcycle Safety Month· State working to draft regulations for Instructor licensing· Moto 101 – working on confirming location for training. Targeting teens who
want to learn to ride and overall motorcycle safety awareness.· Action: Pete to contact HD/Eagle Rider about large classroom.· Action: Obtain full name and DOB for registrants in the Moto 101 program; can
link to future crash data to track training.VII. Legislative Advisory Opinions
The NECTS approved draft legislative topics at their February meeting for furtherinvestigation and development by the task forces. The Motorcycle Legislative AdvisoryCommittee presented the following topics:
#1: Similar to traffic school, Motorcycle rider-specific training course attendanceremoves demerit points.
· Examples of training courses include: Learn to Ride, Mid-level, or MSF onlinecourse ($25, 3-4 hours)
· Post-conviction, points assessed, this would happen to get points removed.
Nevada Strategic Highway Safety Plan2018-03-07 MC TF Mtg Minutes.docx 3
· Similar to pedestrian safety diversion course developed by Erin Breen. Sheapproached the courts, had support of politicians.
· Action: Pete to contact Erin Breen and provide a summary of pedestrian safetycourse/methods
#2: Current law states that a windscreen/windshield serves as eye protection. TaskForce advises to have this removed. Need actual glasses, goggles, or face shield.
· Action: Research supporting data, best practices, recommendations for thisadvisory opinion?
#3: Reclassification and definition of vehicle types, what is a motorcycle, what is atrimobile, what is a moped.
· MopedIn California and Utah, a moped has pedals, in Nevada, moped is a low-poweredmotorcycle. Would have to abide by all MC laws (insurance, helmets, funds,training courses).
· Would have to involve DMV, how to simplify this?· NHTSA recommends that trimobiles and mopeds all covered under motorcycle
heading.· Action: Compile list of types of vehicles – and compare to how they are classified
in other states (best practices)Advisory opinions: Provide clear justification for advisory opinion, research other stateslaws, site all references in back-up for advisory opinion.For consideration: may have two categories: high priority, best practice/common senseNext step: 6-8 weeks for write up for next NECTS meeting. (due to them in May). Sendout draft language via email to task force for review/comment.
VIII. Action Items and Output MeasuresThe current strategies and action steps are too broad-based to track measurable goals.Task force working to revise strategies and action steps.
