136 wordsAll Latest News, Government Policy and LawGov. Kim Reynolds and the Iowa Department of Transportation announced a new initiative to help teen drivers and their parents more safely navigate the early years of driving. The Parent’s Supervised Driving Program gives parents and guardians a simple, easy-to-follow plan designed to encourage safe driving habits. The program, already used in 26 other states, includes the RoadReady mobile app to help families log and manage the hours a new driver spends behind the wheel. Developed by Safe Roads Alliance and with the support of sponsors Toyota and State Farm, the program is provided at no cost to the state or Iowa families. It consists of a guidebook that will be provided to Iowa teens obtaining an instruction permit at any driver’s license issuance site. It is also available online and can downloaded at www.eregulations.com/driving/iowa/.
