Studying Effects of COVID-19 on Young Drivers and Policy

To gain a comprehensive understanding of the effect of COVID-19 on the safety and mobility of young drivers we are comparing driver licensing data, driver education completion data and crash data for teen drivers in North Carolina from January 1 to June 30, 2020 with historical averages to assess the initial effects of the pandemic on teen drivers. We are also collecting self-report data from parents of teen drivers in North Carolina via online questionnaires and focus groups to learn how COVID-19 has affected their supervised driving experience.
