TDS Summit - Shifting Gears
About the 2021 Virtual TDS Summit
The Teens in the Driver Seat (TDS) Summit is going virtual in 2021! Teens from Junior Highs and High Schools, teachers, and safety professionals gather to celebrate, learn, and get excited about being champions of safe teen drivers and passengers. The TDS Summit will provide attendees opportunities to collaborate and build alliances to help make your TDS program successful and your activities meaningful with workshops focused on the skills, knowledge and tools you need to become effective peer leaders in teen traffic safety.

The TDS Summit will kick-off Youth Traffic Safety Month with a live event on May 1, 2021 with motivating speakers and the 2021 TDS All-Stars Awards. Then, throughout May during Global Youth Traffic Safety Month, TDS will be offering more sessions for teens, teachers, and traffic safety professionals.
