BOSTON, MA (FRANKLIN COUNTY NOW) — The state’s annual Ride To Work Day is today, the second Tuesday in June. An event sponsored by MAPRE insurance and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation to raise awareness around motorcycle safety, as MassDOT reports significantly higher fatality rates in motorcycle accidents than those with passenger vehicles.
The initiative aims to promote using motorcycles and scooters as transportation for work and errands with safer riding strategies beginning with helmets, riding sober, raising awareness for all travelers on the roads, and MassDOT Highway assistance on patrol to help all motorists on the highways.
