National Highway Traffic Safety Admin Assessment of TSE in Washington State

You should be aware that in May 2016 the DOL and the Washington Traffic Safety Commission (WTSC) requested to have an assessment of our state’s TSE program by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The Washington Driver Education Assessment Final Report (July 2016) has very good information regarding our TSE program, and makes several recommendations for policy change based on national standards. You may view that report here on the following link. (Hereafter referred to as the NHTSA Assessment)

WTSEA board members participated in panels providing input to the NHTSA Assessment interviewers. We support the recommendations in this final report and hope to see them implemented in policy.
