Empowering the Next Generation of Safe Drivers

Florida Teen Safe Driving Coalition

Funded by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), the Florida Teen Safe Driving Coalition is a partnership of state and local agencies, law enforcement, educators, health professionals, businesses, and families working together to build a culture of safe driving among Florida’s teens.

We promote responsible driving behaviors through targeted marketing, outreach, and education for teens, parents, caregivers, law enforcement, and other key stakeholders. The Coalition also supports advocacy and policy efforts to strengthen Florida’s teen driving laws, enhance the state’s Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program, and identify best practices for driver education in schools.

Our mission is clear: equip teens with the knowledge, skills, and support needed to make smart driving decisions. Together, we are reducing crashes, saving lives, and building safer roads for Florida’s young drivers.

A Collaborative, Statewide Approach

The Florida Teen Safe Driving Coalition serves as a statewide forum for coordination, information sharing, and action. By bringing together partners from education, transportation, public safety, health, and the private sector, the Coalition helps align efforts, reduce duplication, and focus resources where they have the greatest impact.

Through quarterly meetings, working groups, and ongoing collaboration, members contribute to data-driven initiatives, share effective programs, and identify emerging trends affecting teen drivers. This collective approach supports proactive solutions grounded in evidence and real-world experience.

Why It Matters
  • Connects partners working toward shared teen safety goals
  • Encourages evidence-based strategies and best practices
  • Supports coordinated outreach and education statewide
  • Strengthens collaboration across public and private sectors

Every teen crash is preventable. Our goal remains zero: no crashes, no serious injuries, and no fatalities on Florida's roadways.
