Since its inception in Sonoma County, Alive at 25 has provided instruction to nearly two thousand young people. The student evaluations are uniformly positive. It is beyond any doubt this program has provided valuable life skills to our local youth and will save lives. I have no doubt that any community would benefit from Alive at 25.

There is only one true proven approach to reducing the number of young people being killed on our roads, the three "E's": education, engineering and enforcement. Without any of the three, the strategy will not work. GDL and enforcement along with vehicle improvements have helped, but the largest single factor to our success has been the Alive at 25 program.
