Motorcycle Rider Safety Initiative
On 17 September 2026, Daystar University, through the Security Department, issued Daystar-branded reflective jackets to motorcycle riders operating around the University.
The initiative is intended to strengthen collaboration between the University and motorcycle riders, enhance the safety of students and other members of the University community, and improve identification of authorised motorcycle operators.
Each reflective jacket carries a unique identification linked to the respective rider and motorcycle stage. The initiative forms part of the University’s broader efforts to strengthen transport-related security and promote safer movement around the University.
