Hey, Traffic Safety Trailblazers! Get ready for a one-day camping experience to get Fired Up for the year! This event is available to Georgia Middle and High School students who will be leading their TDS peer-to-peer traffic safety outreach at their schools. There will be multiple sessions throughout the day focusing on peer leadership in traffic safety, with sessions for both teens and their teachers/sponsors.
The 2023 Georgia Teen Transportation Safety Summit will provide a platform with engaging traffic safety-related workshops and sessions, in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia. The Summit program is designed to engage youth leaders and teachers to learn more about teen transportation safety and provide the tools they need to become Trailblazers for making Georgia safer through Teens in the Driver Seat programming.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about the state of youth traffic crashes, earn some badges, and find great guides along the way.
