The Motorcycle Safety Awareness Act of 2025 requires states to include motorcyclist safety education in their driver education and safety courses as a condition for receiving certain federal highway safety funding. Specifically, the bill amends federal transportation law to mandate that states teach new drivers about motorcycle laws (such as lane-splitting rules) and principles for safely sharing the road with motorcyclists and scooter riders. This requirement becomes one of at least three criteria states must meet to qualify for federal safety grants, meaning states will need to incorporate this instruction into their educational programs or risk losing highway safety funding. The law takes effect two years after it is signed, giving states time to update their driver education curricula and training materials.
