![]() ![]() “Crashes are the number one cause of teen deaths in the U.S.,” said Jeff Larason, Director of the Office of Grants and Research Highway Safety Division. “Parental involvement can have a huge impact on the learning process. Teens crash less when parents are engaged and involved.” “The more involved the parents are at this important phase when teens are learning to drive, the more likely that these teens will avoid being in a crash once they are driving on their own.” “Parents are the key to ensuring the safety of teen drivers,” said Safe Roads Alliance President Emily Stein. The Parent’s Supervised Driving Program is used in more than 24 states nationwide and focuses on the critical role that parents play in the teen driver education process. The Program includes a printed and digital curriculum and the RoadReady ® mobile app for Apple and Android devices that allows parents and teens to electronically log and manage their driving hours with their smartphone or similar device. “We believe families who participate in The Parent’s Supervised Driving Program assist us in underscoring safe driving habits and practices for our young adults.” “We’re pleased to continue our partnership with the Safe Roads Alliance and founding sponsor Safety Insurance, and welcome new sponsors Toyota and the Massachusetts National Guard, for this important initiative,” said Registrar of Motor Vehicles Erin Deveney. A copy of the guide will be distributed for free to all Junior Operators when they obtain their learner’s permits. Boston - The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV), in collaboration with Safe Roads Alliance and program sponsors Safety Insurance, Toyota North America, and the Massachusetts National Guard announced today that The Parent’s Supervised Driving Program has been updated and is now available at statewide full-service RMV Service Centers and online at /wp-content/uploads/9MAPSDP.pdf.
