The purpose of this corporative agreement project (cap) is to enhancement the state driver education assessment

This federal Cooperative Agreement award from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), under the NHTSA Discretionary Safety Grants and Cooperative Agreements program (CFDA 20.614), provides $167,826 in funding to Highway Safety Services, LLC. The award's purpose is to enhance state driver education assessment processes.

Specifically, the project involves developing a set of standard assessment questions for use in the NHTSA state assessment process and for states to utilize in their own self-assessment tools. Additionally, the project will create a strategy to promote awareness of these assessment tools, actively recruit states to participate in the assessment process and post-assessment consultation services, and track outcomes of participating states. This project aims to support NHTSA's efforts to advance uniform standards for novice teen driver education nationwide by providing implementation support and expertise to state highway safety offices.

The novice teen driver education and training administrative standards are to be used to develop a set of standard questions for use in 1) the nhtsa assessment process and 2) in developing a state self-assessment tool. Additionally, the project is to create a strategy to promote awareness of both tools, to actively recruit states to participate in the assessment processes and post-assessment consultation services, and to track outcomes of states that ultimately participate.
