About the Group

Motorcyclists are amongst the most vulnerable of all road users. In NSW the fatality risk for a motorcycle rider has been calculated as being 23 times greater than for a car driver (Motorcycle Safety, Issues and Countermeasures, RTA 2004). With the Snowy Mountains publicised both nationally and internationally as a fantastic place to ride, the number of motorcyclists riding in the area has increased significantly in recent years. This increase has led to the unfortunate situation where the number of crashes has increased as well.

In response to increased motorcycle crashes on local roads, the Snowy Region Motorcycle Safety Group was formed and consists of a range of stakeholders including: NSW & Victorian Police, Motorcycle Council of NSW, RTA, National Parks & Wildlife Service, Tourism Snowy Mountains and motorcycle representatives.
