About the Campaign

Partners for Safe Teen Driving is a community health initiative aimed at reducing the incidences of teenage automobile crashes, injuries and fatalities in Virginia by assisting school divisions and communities in the development and implementation of local Partners for Safe Teen Driving programs.  The program teaches parents:

• The newest driving techniques
• Virginia’s licensing process
