Venezuela motorcycle regulation and security trends

Overview

Acting President Delcy Rodríguez announced new measures to formalize and regulate the motorcycle sector in Venezuela. These plans include creating a unique registry for motorcyclists to improve social security access and public policy design. The government also intends to establish the Integral Training School for Motorcyclists through the University of Transport to implement international road safety standards.

Other initiatives involve distributing mechanical workshop kits to support entrepreneurship and requiring civil liability insurance for delivery and motorcycle taxi companies.

Parallel to these regulatory efforts, security experts have noted a significant increase in motorcycle thefts in Venezuela, linked to a massive expansion of the vehicle fleet. While the National Institute of Land Transport estimates 2.5 million registered motorcycles, experts suggest the actual number may be between seven and eight million units. In urban areas, motorcycles reportedly constitute approximately 75% of transport, compared to 20% to 25% for automobiles.
