Developing the drive community toolkit: working with community-based groups to support driver licensing education programmes

The Drive Community toolkit, developed by ACC and NZTA working with community groups, extends young driver education resources and supports community-based driver licensing education programmes. Community groups are well-positioned to support harder-to-reach at-risk young drivers through their holistic support services. The award-winning toolkit contains best-practice interactive resources, designed for classroom sessions. These support young adults through the graduated driver licensing system (GDLS) to become safe and skilled drivers. Demand for the toolkits has been high and initial feedback has been extremely positive.
