The Georgia Department of Driver Services’ (DDS) Georgia Motorcycle Safety Program (GMSP) is proud to support the 34th Annual International Ride to Work Day on Tuesday, June 10, 2025. Celebrated each year on the second Tuesday in June, this global event promotes motorcycles and scooters as practical and economical forms of everyday transportation.

Ride to Work Day encourages riders across Georgia—and around the world—to commute by motorcycle or scooter, helping to raise awareness of rider safety and the benefits of two- and three-wheeled transportation.

DDS Commissioner Angelique B. McClendon commented, “If you are not currently licensed to operate a motorcycle, we encourage you to enroll in a GMSP rider training course. It’s one of the best ways to ensure you’re riding—and sharing the road—safely.”

Motorcycle commuting is often more fuel-efficient and space-saving than driving a passenger vehicle. Still, riding comes with added risks. The DDS’ GMSP remains committed to reducing these risks through rider education and public awareness. 

“With summer temperatures rising, we expect more motorcycles and scooters on Georgia’s roadways,” said Holly Hegyesi, GMSP Manager. Ride to Work Day is a perfect opportunity for motorists to recognize the people under the helmets and join the conversation about how we can work together to improve safety for everyone.”
