U.S. motorcycle fatalities hit a record 6,335 in 2023, driven by rising ridership, declining helmet laws, and unsafe roads.
Motorcycle fatalities in the U.S. reached 6,335 in 2023, the highest on record, up from fewer than 3,000 in 2000, with motorcyclists facing a fatality rate over 27 times higher than car occupants.
The number of registered motorcyclists has nearly doubled since 2002, reaching about 8.8 million.
Texas had the highest fatality rate per 10,000 motorcyclists, followed by Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Arizona, while Maine, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Alaska, and Iowa had the lowest.
Helmets reduce rider death risk by 37% and passenger risk by 41%, but only 19 states and D.C. require all riders to wear them.
The decline of universal helmet laws after 1975 has contributed to regional disparities, and poor road infrastructure also plays a role.
