Why it matters 

Individual choices matter, but systemic change saves lives on a larger scale. By supporting stronger policies, laws, and standards, we protect not just one driver—but every driver on the road. Advocacy ensures that safe driving isn’t optional or dependent on chance, but woven into the rules and culture of our communities.

How it works

Our advocacy efforts focus on:

• Strengthening Teen Driving Laws – Supporting evidence-based policies that reduce crashes and fatalities.

• Improving Education Requirements – Working with schools and driving programs to raise the bar on driver readiness.

• Building Partnerships – Collaborating with safety experts, policymakers, law enforcement, and community leaders.

• Amplifying Voices – Empowering teens and families to share their stories and influence decision-makers.

Our Programs in Action

• Legislative Partnerships – Supporting bills and policy initiatives that improve teen driving safety standards.

• Community Coalitions – Working with local leaders to expand safe driving initiatives at the city and state level.

• School Policy Advocacy – Encouraging integration of safe driving education into high school curricula.

• Teen Advocacy Training – Equipping students with the tools to speak at school boards, town halls, and legislative sessions.

Why It Works

​

• Policy Protects Everyone: Stronger laws create consistent safety standards across communities.

• Data-Driven Impact: Research shows graduated driver licensing, seat belt laws, and distracted driving legislation save lives.

• Community Backing: When families and teens share stories, lawmakers listen—personal testimony creates urgency.

• Long-Term Change: Advocacy ensures safe driving isn’t just a campaign but a cultural and legal standard that endures.
