Venezuela announces new registration and training for motorcyclists

Acting President Delcy Rodríguez has announced a series of measures aimed at formalizing and regulating Venezuela’s motorcycle sector. During a meeting at the Miraflores Palace, Rodríguez unveiled plans to create a unique registry for motorcyclists to facilitate the design of targeted public policies and improve access to social security.

A key component of the initiative is the establishment of the Integral Training School for Motorcyclists, which will operate through the University of Transport. The school aims to implement international road safety standards to reduce the high rate of traffic accidents involving motorcycles.

Additional measures include the distribution of mechanical workshop kits to encourage entrepreneurship among young riders and the requirement for delivery and motorcycle taxi companies to mandate civil liability insurance. Government officials, including Transport Minister Francisco Garcés, emphasized the need to update the national regulatory framework and adapt urban infrastructure to accommodate the growing number of two-wheeled vehicles.
