Abstract:The goal of this research project was to develop a methodology to assist the Wisconsin Department of
Transportation (WisDOT) in the evaluation of effectiveness of teen driver education programs over the
short and long terms. The research effort was divided into two phases. Phase I focused on the
development of an evaluative methodology that was based upon a review of the relevant literature and
Wisconsin-specific policies and available data sources. This review culminated in a program
assessment tool focused on four contributing areas of teen driver training and education: 1) Guardian
Involvement; 2) Driver Education and Training Curricula Requirements; 3) GDL Coordination; and 4)
Instructor Qualifications. The proposed methodology was presented to the Project Oversight
Committee and was validated through two rounds of pilot testing using materials provided by programs
and schools under the oversight of both WisDOT and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
The resulting methodology informed the Phase II implementation plan recommendations. Work
products included within this report are an annotated bibliography; a knowledge base documenting best
practices and Wisconsin-specific data sources; a methodology that may be used to analyze and evaluate
the effectiveness of driver-training programs as they relate to the demonstrated safety and behavior of
teen drivers in Wisconsin; and a three-phase implementation plan.
