Establish transportation safety training for college students
The Education Team will explore together with the University of Missouri and other higher education entities, a concept of transportation safety training for new students. The training may include local ordinances, local infrastructure education, impaired driving, distracted travel, etc.
C
Develop workplace transportation safety programs and policies
The Education Team will work with local businesses to develop internal policies against distracted driving, laws and best practices for sharing the road with all road users, and workplace driver safety programs. This will include implementation toolkits for businesses to follow to ensure successful rollout of policies and training for employees.

Create age-appropriate transportation safety programs in schools
The Education Team will work with Columbia Public Schools and others as needed, to implement an age-appropriate transportation safety education program. They will also work to combine pedestrian safety for elementary schoolchildren, bicycle and transit training for middle-schoolers, and driver education for high school students in a comprehensive “mobility education approach.”
