Our goal is to lead the US towards new and higher training standards for teens! Join Us!

We are a group of everyday Americans who value the lives of today’s teenagers and are driven to end the incomprehensible loss of those lives in vehicle crashes.

Parents, this one's for you: you have more power over your teen's driving habits than you probably realize. That's exactly why we're writing The Parent's Guide to Raising a Safer Driver: a practical, research-based book to help you make that influence count where it matters most.

The book is still coming together, and we'd love for you to be part of it from the start. Head to our website and sign up for updates so you're the first to know when it's ready: https://cadrfoundation.org/the-parents-guide-to-raising-a-safer-driver/

This International Day of Friendship, do something for your people that actually matters: be the friend who speaks up when they reach for their phone at a red light, who buckles up before they even ask, who says "text me when you get there" and means it literally.

Real friendship looks out for each other on the road and off. Tag a friend who's got your back behind the wheel.

Motor vehicle crashes remain a leading cause of death for American teenagers. New drivers are about twice as likely as experienced adults to be in a fatal crash, mostly due to inexperience, not recklessness. That's exactly why the CADR Foundation exists: to close the gap between "licensed" and "prepared."

Behind every safe teen driver is a parent who had the right tools to teach them. Your gift to CADR Foundation helps us put research-based training, resources, and guidance directly into the hands of families. Every dollar moves us closer to a generation of drivers who come home safely. Will you help us get there?

Earning a license isn't the finish line, it's just the beginning.

At CADR Foundation, our mission is simple: to expand the scope of teenage driver research to focus on the beliefs and skill deficiencies that contribute to their risk for crashing and use those findings in the development, creation and implementation of resources for producing higher standards at the grassroots education and training levels.

Follow us today to learn how we plan to save lives and change the driving mindset in our country!

It's not just about experience, it's experience plus peers in the car. That combo is exactly what makes the "100 Deadliest Days" (Memorial Day to Labor Day) so dangerous for teen drivers.

The numbers don't lie: fatal teen crashes jump about 30% during these summer months. Why? One teen passenger doubles the risk of a fatal crash. Two or more? It quadruples.

Peer pressure and distraction turn an already risky learning curve into a life-or-death gamble.

Talk to your teen. Set passenger limits. Reinforce the rules before they hit the road this summer.

Because saving lives means driving a higher standard. 💜

Your teen's driver's education doesn't begin when they get a learner's permit....it begins with you.

This fall, we're releasing a book designed to help parents become confident coaches, teammates, and advocates throughout their teen's driving journey. Inside, you'll find expert guidance, proven strategies, and practical tools to help your family build safe driving habits from day one.

Want to be the first to know when it's available? Sign up for updates today and we'll let you know as soon as the book is released! Sign up at https://cadrfoundation.org/online-learning-safely-navigating-the-road-ahead/

Together, we can help prepare the next generation of safer, more confident drivers.

As parents, we're our teen's very first driving instructor even years before they ever sit behind the wheel.

Every trip to school, the grocery store, or team practice is a lesson. They're watching how we handle distractions, whether we buckle up, follow the speed limit, leave enough space between vehicles, use our turn signals, and stay calm when traffic gets frustrating.

The good news? That means we have countless opportunities to build safe driving habits before they ever earn a permit.

The safest teen drivers start with great examples. What driving habit are you making sure your teen sees every time you get behind the wheel?

Your teen starts learning to drive long before they take that first permit course and you might not guess WHO they are learning from. Comment your thoughts below and come back tomorrow to see if you were right!

Most teens don’t become unsafe drivers because they don’t care. They become unsafe drivers because they were never truly coached for real-world conditions.

Through research, real-world training insights, and decades of experience through our sister organization Teen Driving Solutions School, we’re redefining what “prepared” actually means.

And soon, we’ll be releasing something designed specifically for parents who want to step into the most important role of all: The coach in the passenger seat.
