Broward County, FL – The Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) Fire Rescue Public Education Unit, in partnership with Memorial Healthcare System and Safe Kids Broward County, has joined forces with Broward County Public Schools to introduce the Impact Teen Driving (ITD) program to the Driver’s Education programs offered throughout the county this summer. As part of the program, a visit was made to local high schools to kick off the training, with subsequent ITD programs scheduled to be conducted at various Driver’s Education sites during the summer.
The collaborative effort between BSO Fire Rescue, Memorial Healthcare System, Safe Kids Broward County, and Broward County Public Schools aims to enhance the awareness and understanding of safe driving practices among teenage drivers. The ITD program provides valuable education and guidance to teen drivers, empowering them to make responsible choices on the road.
By delivering the ITD program within the Driver’s Education curriculum, participants will benefit from comprehensive instruction and resources designed to promote safe driving habits. The program addresses critical topics such as distracted driving, impaired driving, and the importance of wearing seat belts, among other key aspects of responsible driving.
The Broward Sheriff’s Office, Memorial Healthcare System, Safe Kids Broward County, and Broward County Public Schools are committed to equipping teenage drivers with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the roads safely. Through this partnership and the ITD program, they aim to reduce accidents, injuries, and fatalities among young drivers in Broward County.
