Our Programs

Distracted Driving Prevention – Stay Focused, Stay Safe

Every ride is a chance to shape safer roads—for ourselves, our passengers, and future drivers.

The Los Angeles County Distracted Driving Program is committed to preventing crashes and saving lives through free, age-appropriate workshops for preschool through college students and parents. We empower participants to recognize risky behaviors, speak up, and take action to create a culture of safety.

From story time in preschool classrooms to real-life impact stories shared with college students, our program grows with your community—reminding everyone that safe driving is a shared responsibility.

Explore our workshops, meet our team, and book a session today. Let’s keep LA County moving forward—safely.

Child Passenger Safety – Protecting Our Youngest Passengers

The Child Passenger Safety Program is committed to keeping children safe while traveling. We provide education for parents and caregivers on proper car seat use, support community car seat inspection events, and offer training and certification for Child Passenger Safety Technicians (CPSTs).

Through up-to-date information, car seat laws, and hands-on support, our program strives to ensure that every child in LA County has the safest possible ride.
