Programs

Although commercial vehicles make up 5.24% of roadway users, they are often over-represented in crashes involving fatalities and serious injuries. Two courses are offered that significantly impact CMV-involved crashes: distracted driving and substance-impaired driving. Visit the Commercial Drivers page for more information or click below for course details.

• Distracted Driving
• Substance-Impaired Driving

Courses for the public emphasize the importance of avoiding risky behaviors and offer strategies to promote safe driving practices. Visit the General Public page for more information or click below for course details.

• Adult Impaired Driving: Cannabis and Prescription Medications
• Teen Impaired Driving: Alcohol and Cannabis
• Aging Drivers
• Distracted Driving
• Pedestrian Safety

Maintaining the safety and mobility of older drivers is of paramount concern because changes in health can result in age-related driving impairments. Healthcare providers are in an ideal position to identify impairments and make recommendations to patients about driving safety. 

• Age- and Medically Related Driving Impairments

Two courses are available: one provides instruction on the assessment of drivers for disorientation and referrals to the DMV for licensing re-examination; a Train-the-Trainer addresses the problem of distracted driving, with emphasis on mitigating the unique challenges faced by first responders. Visit the Law Enforcement page for more information or click below for course details.

• Improving Older Driver Safety
• Reducing Distracted Driving in the Patrol Vehicle

Motor vehicle crashes remain a leading cause of death among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people, with AI/AN traffic deaths ⅔ higher than the overall U.S. rate and 80% higher than the California average. The gap widens among young drivers, as AI/AN individuals ages 16–24 experience a fatality rate 69% higher than their non-AI/AN peers. These disparities underscore the urgent need for effective, culturally responsive traffic-safety programs that serve communities at greatest risk.
