Programs
TREDS delivers education programs to promote safe driving behaviors in an effort to prevent crash-related injuries and fatalities. Topics include aging drivers, distracted driving, pedestrian safety, and driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
Commercial Drivers
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.
General Public
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.
Health Professionals
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.
Law Enforcement
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.
