IDOT's Operation Teen Safe Driving Program Nationally Honored

The Roadway Safety Foundation (RSF) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) today recognized the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), Division of Traffic Safety’s (DTS) “Operation Teen Safe Driving” program for its efforts to reduce teen driving-related deaths by implementing innovative peer-to-peer programs.

Illinois’ peer-to-peer teen driving program, in partnership with The Allstate Foundation and the Ford Motor Company Fund’s Driving Skills for Life program, challenged teens to develop a school-wide program that would have a positive impact on teen drivers. The program, which was conducted completely by teens, was met with huge success, with a forty percent reduction in teen driving deaths from 2007-2008.
