The purpose of the TDDPLT is to “participate in the U.S. Department of Transportation Distracted Driving Summit and serve on the Teen Leadership Team that will develop and implement a youthled community distracted driving prevention program,” according to the National Organization for Youth Safety. Cori has been a member of the TDS TAB for two years. She is serving her second year as TAB co-chair and is very active in her school’s TDS program. This is Danielle’s first year to serve on the TDS TAB, but that hasn’t stopped her from becoming a TAB co-chair. Danielle is very active in her school’s TDS program and is also a member of the Mayor’s Top 100 Teens in El Paso. Teen Advisory Board — working for you Your Teen Advisory Board (TAB) (http://www.t-driver.com/teen-advisoryboard/)has already been hard at work for several months. After five meetings already, your 15 TAB members – including two co-chairs (Cori Hash and Danielle De La Paz) have been busy planning the new TDS Fest and sharing their ideas on how to shape the Teens in the Driver Seat (TDS) program. During the summer, the TAB visited College Station, TX – home of Texas A&M University and the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI). While in College Station, they learned about the history of TTI, its Center for Transportation Safety and how TDS fits into the bigger picture of transportation safety in Texas and beyond. Dr. John Mounce, director of TTI’s Center for Transportation Safety, thanked the TAB members for their work in encouraging safety and for setting an example for other teens to follow. In July, Cori Hash and Ashley Thompson, traveled to St. Louis, Missouri to represent TDS at the NSSP Teen Leadership Conference. They led the 3-hour discussion and introduced many teens outside of Texas to our successful program. The TAB is already making plans to participate in next year’s conference in Hawaii. In September, co-chairs Cori and Danielle were selected to sit on the national Teen Distracted Driving Prevention Leadership Team (http://www.t-driver. com/2010/09/22/members-of-tab-selected-for-national-distracted-drivingboard/). Congratulations on their outstanding achievement and for representing TDS. The TAB continues to meet monthly. They are planning TDS Fest (http:// www.t-driver.com/tdsfest11/) and are finalizing a TDS pledge. TDS staff members are excited to work with such a great group and are looking forward to the next meeting. Keep up the good work!

Or has your school had a TDS program before that is no longer active? Here are some easy steps to starting (and maintaining) a TDS program at your school: 1. Decide who is going to be leading the project. Pick the organization that will take on TDS (ex: Student Council, FCCLA, National Honors Society, FFA, etc.). Pick the student leaders who will be in charge of the program (usually 8-12 students). Make sure that there is a teacher/ sponsor who will serve as support for the program. 2. Get in touch with your regional representative. These people are staff members who serve as support for your program. If you need supplies, run out of ideas, or need any help with your program, they will be there to back you up. 3. See what your friends know. The best way to find out where the problem is, is to survey people at your school and figure out what they know and what they need to learn. Your regional representative can provide you with the correct tools to conduct a survey. 4. Tell them what they need to know. Think of ways to get the safe driving message out to your peers. You could pass out TDS freebies at sporting events, hold a safe driving day at your school, put up banners, etc. — anything to get them to know more about how to be safe drivers and spread the message. 5. Keep the program going. Make goals to do a special TDS event each six weeks or month, to ensure that people are learning what the problem is and how they can help fight the number-one killer of teens in America. You can also survey your friends again to see what they learned and gauge how successful your program is.

For out-of-Texas contacts, please contact Russell Henk or Bernie Fette. www.t-driver.com PAGE 9 Director’s Corner We hope you enjoyed your summer and are ready for another active TDS year. We were excited to see over 210 schools implement the TDS program last school year and to honor 48 of those teams as Outstanding TDS Schools. We also recognized 15 students as the newest members of the Teen Advisory Board, 10 teachers as 2009-2010 SponStar winners, three Outstanding State Farm representatives and El Paso Mayor John Cook as the recipient of the first-ever TDS Leadership Award. We are eager to help you continue the growth of the program and see the amazing ideas and resources you come up with this year. We hope to have even more Outstanding TDS Schools by May 2011 as we continue to work together to save young lives. This summer, we continued to work hard for you. We started by revamping the TDS Outstanding School process. Are you the best of the best? If so, step up to the new TDS Cup Challenge at http://www.t-driver.com/tds-cup/. If your school earns the most points in your division, you can win the TDS Cup. If you earn at least 75 points at the high school level (50 points at the junior high level), your school will be recognized as outstanding. We have also started planning the first-ever TDS Fest (http://www.t-driver.com/tdsfest11/) which will be hosted by Creekview High School in Carrollton, TX, on Saturday, March 5, 2011. This carnival-style event will be the ultimate driving safety celebration. Sign up online to get discounted pricing and for a chance to win an iPod. Mark your calendars and begin making plans to join us. TDS Director Russell Henk Your new Teen Advisory Board (TAB) (http://www.t-driver.com/teen-advisory-board/) has also been hard at work. The TAB has already met five times and they are actively planning the TDS Fest. Your co-chairs are Cori Hash and Danielle De La Paz. These outstanding young ladies were also selected to sit on the National Teen Distracted Driving Prevention Leadership Team. Congratulations on their outstanding achievement and for representing TDS. You can contact your advisory board member(s) to share your thoughts, ideas and/ or concerns with them. The TAB members are an important part of the TDS program leadership, so feel free to let them know what you think. With Daylight Saving Time ending on Sunday, November 7, we’ll soon be driving in the dark at earlier hours. Please be aware that driving at night is one of the top risks for teen drivers. With football games and other evening events, be sure to plan ahead and be extra careful. The fall is one of the best times to start the TDS program at your school. If you haven’t started yet, find your regional contact on page 9 of this newsletter and let us know you are interested. There are many ways we can help you get the program started. We are looking forward to a successful 2010-2011 school year. Director of TDS Public Affairs Bernie Fette Thank you to our sponsors, the Texas Department of Transportation and State Farm Insurance of Texas, for their continued support of the TDS program. Together, we’re making a real difference in which we can all take great pride and find motivation to continue our efforts. Thanks for all you are doing to help save teen lives.
