Not every teen is behind the wheel, but every teen is in the car.
Passengers often have more influence than they realize. Peer pressure, distractions, and silence can all turn a ride dangerous. Passenger Power teaches young people that the right seat isn’t just a spot—it’s a responsibility.

Passenger Power equips teens with:

• Speak-Up Skills – How to confidently tell a driver to put the phone down, slow down, or stop unsafe behavior.

• Safe Role Modeling – Buckling up, avoiding distractions, and encouraging good habits every ride.

• Exit Strategies – Recognizing when a ride is unsafe and knowing how to get out of the car safely.

• Peer-to-Peer Influence – Using social power to normalize safe driving choices.

• School Clubs & Workshops – Interactive sessions with role-playing, scripts, and real-life scenarios.

• Social Media Challenges – Hashtag campaigns where teens share how they spoke up or modeled safety.

• Partnerships with Driving Schools – Integrating passenger training into driver ed.

• Community Events – Simulations and demonstrations showing how passenger choices impact outcomes.

• Teens listen to peers more than parents or teachers—so empowering passengers flips peer pressure into positive pressure.

• Teaching all teens (not just drivers) expands your safety reach instantly.

• When passengers model and demand safety, the culture in cars shifts—making safe driving the expectation, not the exception.
