The Teen Motor Vehicle Leadership Alliance is a multidisciplinary, statewide coalition that formed in November 2005 with the purpose of bringing together different state agencies, local agencies and private partners concerned about teen driving safety. During the last three years, the Alliance has completed a strategic plan to improve teen motor vehicle safety statewide. Components of the plan include increasing enforcement of Colorado’s Graduated Drivers’ Licensing law, increasing safety belt use statewide and providing technical assistance and consultation to local Colorado communities.
In order to implement the strategic plan, Alliance members participate on workgroups that focus on social marketing, community programs, legislative issues, and technical assistance, respectively.
Alliance members continually receive education and training on issues surrounding teen driving safety, Best Practices, and evaluation techniques. Additionally, the Alliance works to leverage funding and resources to complete a variety of teen driving safety projects. The Alliance meets on the first Thursday of every month at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. New members are always welcome.
