    That this Assembly: (1) notes that: (a) despite the Government’s commitment to Vision Zero, the toll on ACT roads for 2026 already stands at six deaths, compared with nine deaths in all of 2025 and four in 2023; and (b) despite the Government identifying motorcycle safety as a priority, motorcyclists continue to be overrepresented in the number of people killed and injured on ACT roads; and (2) calls on the Government to: (a) materially improve its efforts to improve the safety of motorcyclists in our community; (b) designate motorcycle safety as a priority for the Government in the upcoming Road Safety Action Plan; (c) consider immediate and near-term steps it can take to improve motorcycle safety, such as safety audits of high-risk corridors and intersections, improving road maintenance, signage and hazard management and reviewing any past inquiry or report recommendations which have not been implemented; and (d) report back to the Assembly on progress towards improving road safety for motorcyclists within six months. Debate ensued.
