Teen drivers can become work zone safe
ATSS Foundation has partnered with WorkZoneSafe.com to launch a National Work Zone Safe Teen Driver program. The online course is 100% free and modernizes work zone safety education.
The 50-minute course gives teen drivers ages 15-19 the opportunity to learn about work zone safety. The program is now available nationwide, offering a comprehensive national course alongside tailored state-specific versions for Oklahoma and Wisconsin, all designed with a focus on addressing teen driving behavior. The course includes work zone-focused information, like what to do when a driver sees a flagger, what to do while in a work zone, how to get around a truck and more.
Teens who successfully complete the online course are recognized and rewarded for their commitment to work zone safety.
