Motorcyclist Advisory Council (MAC-FHWA)
Road Conditions Survey
The Motorcyclist Advisory Council to the Federal Highway Administration (MAC-FHWA), coordinates and advises the Secretary of the Department of Transportation, acting through the Administrator of the Federal Highway Administration, on infrastructure issues of concern to motorcyclists, including: (1) Barrier design; (2) Road design, construction, and maintenance practices; and (3) The architecture and implementation of Intelligent Transportation System technologies.
The MAC-FHWA provides a forum for the development, consideration, and communication of information from a knowledgeable and independent perspective. MAC-FHWA includes representatives from the motorcyclists' rights community.
This survey was developed to assist MAC-FHWA in gleaning meaningful data with regard to the motorcycling public perceptions of roadway design, construction, maintenance and signage.

MRF Young Activist Scholarship Fund Biker "Freedom Fighting" activists have recognized for some time that our membership and leaders are aging, and that there is a need to encourage younger people to become involved in motorcyclists' rights. To that end, the Motorcycle Riders Foundation has created a scholarship fund to recognize deserving candidates who are a minimum of 18 years old and not over 30 years of age who otherwise may not be able to attend the MRF's Meeting of the Minds conference.
