Checkpoints

Checkpoints™ Program is approximately a 90-minute program that is designed to reduce teen crashes and violations. This program will help you:
-
- Help your teen be safer when they become a new, independent driver.
- Establish and personalize a free, interactive Parent-Teen Driving Agreement to help you set safety expectations as your teen gradually increases driving complexity and responsibility.
Eligibility
All students who currently have an INTERMEDIATE RESTRICTED Graduated Driver License are encouraged to register.
Benefits & Outcomes
New teen drivers are at greater risk for crashes when:
- driving during the first months without adult supervision
- driving at night

- driving on unfamiliar roads
Families who completed the Checkpoints™ program experienced:
