Andria Yu, VP of Communications for the MIC and MSF, has been appointed to U.S. Department of Transportation’s Motorcyclist Advisory Council.
This is a press release from the MIC…
U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy has appointed Andria Yu, Vice President of Communications for the Motorcycle Industry Council and Motorcycle Safety Foundation, to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Motorcyclist Advisory Council.
“Your work representing a national motorcycle manufacturing association will greatly benefit MAC and the Department’s efforts to improve safety outcomes and infrastructure performance,” Duffy wrote in Yu’s appointment letter. “Your experience and leadership will add valuable insights and perspectives that will help further MAC’s mission of reducing injuries and fatalities on our Nation’s highways.”
Yu will represent motorcycle rider education and training on the 13-member council, which provides recommendations to the Secretary of Transportation, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and the Federal Highway Administration on transportation issues affecting motorcyclists. The council’s work includes motorcycle safety, roadway design and maintenance, and the implementation of intelligent transportation system technologies.
A longtime on- and off-road motorcyclist and certified MSF RiderCoach, Yu has led rider training events and media rides that have helped introduce new riders to motorcycling.
“It’s a privilege to serve on the Motorcyclist Advisory Council and represent the motorcycle industry in important conversations about rider safety and transportation policy,” Yu said. “As transportation continues to evolve, it’s essential that riders and the industry have a voice in discussions about infrastructure, roadway design, emerging technologies, and policies that affect motorcyclists. I look forward to working alongside the other council members to provide recommendations to the U.S. Department of Transportation that support safer roads for motorcyclists and all roadway users.”
The MAC was reconstituted in 2024 after several years of inactivity, following efforts by the MIC, MSF, and others to restore the federal advisory body. The council provides a forum for representatives from rider education, manufacturing, government, and transportation safety to help inform federal transportation policy affecting motorcyclists.
