The Opportunity

The TAC L2P Program is a statewide program that assists learner drivers between 16-21 years of age, who do not have access to a supervising driver or vehicle, to gain the driving experience required to apply for a probationary license. The purpose of the program is to enable the learner driver to meet the Graduated Licensing System (GLS) mandated 120 hours of driving practice prior to gaining their probationary license. The young learners are matched with fully licensed volunteer mentors and have access to a sponsored vehicle, which they can use to get supervised driving experience.

• Maintaining effective communication among key program stakeholders.
