Members of Congress want to hear from YOU

The most powerful and persuasive way to educate lawmakers about the STANDUP Act is through personal stories, particularly stories from parents who have lost a child in a teen driving related crash and people who have survived a teen driving crash. 


If you or someone you know has a story about a teen driving crash that you would be willing to share, please contact Jenny Cheek at the Saferoads4teens Coalition by clicking here or calling 202-408-1711.
Thank you for supporting the STANDUP Act and the Saferoads4teens Coalition!
 
The Safe Teen And Novice Driver Uniform Protection (STANDUP) Act is federal legislation that would compel states to strengthen their laws for novice teen drivers, often called Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) laws.

For more information, please contact Jenny Cheek at 202-408-1711 (ext. 15) or at jcheek@saferoads.org.
