The campaign aims to educate motorcycle owners and drivers about the importance of preserving the lives of themselves and pedestrians, and to present Taiz Governorate with a civilized appearance befitting its status.

He directed the formation of a special committee to oversee motorcycle sales at the headquarters of the Taiz Governorate Traffic Police Department to facilitate transactions and motorcycle registration.
