Helping Protect Students From Serious and Fatal Motor Vehicle Accidents in 2026
As we plan for 2026, it is an important opportunity for institutions to take proactive steps to help prevent fatal or serious accidents resulting in injury among students. Each year, approximately 3% of college students nationwide are involved in motor vehicle crashes that result in injury or death. The impact of these incidents extends beyond individual students, affecting families, peers, and the campus community.
Our Young Driver Accident Avoidance Program can be offered as a required training for students during the fall semester. This 28-day, fully online program requires just 10 minutes per day and can be started at any point in the semester, providing flexibility to fit students’ schedules.
This program provides a legally sound approach to enhance student safety and reduce institutional risk. By integrating it into your fall curriculum or co-curricular requirements, you are providing students with actionable skills to avoid the most common causes of serious and fatal crashes.
While discussions about student injury and fatality are difficult, the reality is that motor vehicle accidents remain a leading cause of death and serious injury among college-aged students. A required, structured, and evidence-based program offers an opportunity to directly reduce that risk.
Legal & Compliance Considerations
The program is preventive education only and does not provide driver instruction or certification.
No vehicles or driving supervision are required; it is entirely online.
Student outcomes may be reported to the institution as Pass/Fail and maintained as educational records in compliance with FERPA.
Any additional reporting is provided in aggregated or de-identified form, protecting student privacy.
Responsibility for individual driving behavior remains with the student.
A Unique Opportunity for Higher Education
As a higher education institution, you play a pivotal role in shaping student behavior beyond the classroom.

College Curriculum Driver Safety Program
Reduce Risk. Save Lives. Empower Students.
Why Now?
The 100 days between Memorial Day and Labor Day are known nationally as the "100 Deadliest Days" for teen and young adult drivers.
According to the CDC, teen drivers are 3x more likely to be involved in a fatal crash during this time.
AAA data shows a sharp increase in fatal accidents involving young drivers during summer months.
Despite years of combined efforts, fatal accident rates for drivers aged 15–24 have remained mostly unchanged—and cultural pressures often work against safe driving habits.

Here are some of the most common reasons we hear for why a higher education institution may hesitate to implement a driver safety program within the curriculum, designed to help students develop habits to avoid the 20 most common causes of fatal car accidents.
1. Your institution does not work with Online Program Managers.
We have designed our program to be as seamless and user-friendly as possible, with minimal administrative effort required on your part. Our program does not need to be integrated into your online portal; instead, it is accessed directly through our website. We simply need students' email addresses, and our system will send them instructions to create their profiles and access the content. The program is 100% online, spans 28 days, and features short, daily videos (10 minutes or less) that can easily fit into any student's schedule. The cost of the program is often less than that of a curriculum credit, making it a potential revenue source rather than an additional expense.
2. Liability concerns.
Our program is designed to promote safe driving habits without requiring any physical driving instruction. It is hosted by an offsite third-party provider, Young Driver Accident Avoidance Programs, who assumes full liability for the course. The program focuses on preemptive safety measures to avoid accidents before they occur—there are no stunt driving tactics or swerving techniques involved. You can request a copy of our curriculum for legal review by emailing [email protected].
3. Your institution does not believe it’s your place to provide a driver safety program.
While it’s true that higher education institutions are not traditionally responsible for ensuring students' safe driving habits, the reality is that many students do not take proactive steps to improve their driving. With 3% of college students nationwide involved in car accidents that result in injuries or fatalities, we believe taking action is in the best interest of the students and your institution. A key factor contributing to these statistics is the societal perception among young people that "safe driving isn’t cool." This mindset is reinforced through various cultural channels, from social media to popular films and even the behavior of celebrities. The reality is that students need an additional point of contact beyond their parents or legal guardians when it comes to safe driving. Your students are the future, and we are committed to working with you to help them develop safe and lasting driving habits for life.
4. Your institution is concerned about adding to the present workload of the students.
Our program is designed to fit seamlessly into students’ busy schedules. With daily videos that are 10 minutes or less, it provides a manageable commitment without overwhelming students. Given its brief duration, it can easily complement even the heaviest academic workload, making it a practical addition to your student support initiatives.

Unfortunately, many young drivers perceive ma*****na use while driving as a "safe alternative" to drinking and driving. However, both behaviors are dangerous and illegal. Statistics show that drug-impaired driving is a significant problem in the United States. Moreover, studies reveal that driving under the influence of ma*****na impairs cognitive and motor functions similarly to alcohol.
Simply advising your child against drug use while driving is not enough. It is crucial to help young drivers build habits that will prevent both drug and alcohol use while driving.
