Operation Teen Safe Driving
The first step in the Operation Teen Safe Driving, OTSD, program is for teens to become aware of the high risk behaviors that lead to serious injuries and fatalities:  lack of seat belt use, speed, distracted driving (cell phone communication and passengers), impaired driving and lack of technical experience. The students develop a creative program to combat the traffic safety problem in their school and community.

Teams can win $2,000 if their program is the winner for their region.
