Passenger Vehicle Driver Program
Maximize Your Drivers Traffic Safety Awareness
Driving behavior contributes to over 90% of vehicle collisions and up to 33% of fuel consumption.
Collisions occur because drivers bring their bad personal driving habits to the work environment. This program has been custom designed specifically for companies to maximize their employees' traffic safety awareness and protect them against costly accidents, injuries, violations and negligent entrustment claims using the power and convenience of the Internet.
Clients have the option of creating custom training packages from the 24 high-impact, multi-media traffic safety training modules. The administration is supported by a set of sophisticated, user-friendly tracking and reporting tools. The entire program is fully integrated into this enterprise-class software platform.
The program provides companies with cost-effective, traffic safety management for their entire workforce on demand, anytime, anywhere around the world. This off the shelf twenty four module program builds on a driver's need to drive safely.

Instructional Designers
This training content was created with the help of a specific group of professionals called Instructional Designers. These professionals specialize in adult learning theory and how to maximize the efficiency of training content.
What they told us is that not all adults learn the same. The three leading adult learning styles include: those who learn best through reading comprehension, those who relate to information strongly through statistical figures, numbers and graphs, and lastly individuals who learn best through a combination of audio and video.
This training has adopted these learning styles and incorporated them into all of these training programs. The end result is comprehensive training programs that are very engaging and memorable.
High Retention Training Schedule
Clients commonly run their training programs annually. This includes the Hazard Perception Evaluation used once a year, in combination with baseline training modules assigned with different due dates weeks apart to reduce overload and maximize retention.
It has been proven that delivering training in smaller portions, rather than all at once leads to better overall retention and stronger permanent learning effects. We recommend training on a monthly basis to keep safety at the forefront throughout the year.
The program is flexible enough to customize training to fit an organizations needs, whether that be monthly, bi-monthly, or weekly, we can meet your particular training needs.
