Motor vehicles remain the leading cause of death for teens and young adults. Though fatal crashes involving drivers 16-24 years old declined more than 25% over the past decade, much work remains. To help states further this progress, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has released the “Peer-to-Peer Teen Traffic Safety Program Guide,” prepared by the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA). The guide examines peer-to-peer programs, in which young adults take the lead in identifying a traffic safety problem in their school and community.
