You may see more young people on the road due to a new program introduced by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation this month. Funded by the 2023-2025 biennial budget, the state’s Driver Education Grant Program will make driver’s education courses free for students who qualify for free and reduced lunch at school. The program covers 30 hours of classroom time, six hours of observation, and six hours of behind-the-wheel training.  The program aims to improve safety on the state’s roadways. “Tackling reckless and dangerous driving across our state has been an important priority for our administration, and I’m glad it’s an issue that finally received bipartisan attention and support last session,” said Governor Tony Evers. This program will help remove the financial burden of providing kids with quality driver's education for low-income families and ensure we are setting them up for success by becoming licensed drivers.” You can click this link to sign up for the program.
