KYTC is excited to share a new opportunity for Kentucky students to showcase their driving skills, build safer habits behind the wheel, and compete for a share of $5,000 in cash prizes!
The Safe Teen Driving Challenge , managed by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC), is open to 16-to-19-year-old drivers with a valid permit or driver’s license and a smartphone. This initiative is designed to encourage young drivers to stay focused and safe on the road while having fun and earning rewards.
WHY IT MATTERS
Over the past three years, Kentucky roads have seen more than 47,000 crashes involving teen drivers, resulting in over 13,000 injuries and 210 tragic deaths. By participating in this challenge, students can take an active role in improving highway safety and becoming lifelong safe drivers.
