Montana DRIVE
Registration for adult workshops opens February 1st and registration for Teen Week opens March 1st.
Come to Lewistown this summer for a fun and active behind-the-wheel workshop that improves driver skill and confidence. All licensed drivers are welcome! Operated by the OPI since 1979, our professional driving instructors have trained more than 17,500 drivers in off-road recovery, skid control, and evasive maneuvers. Montana DRIVE summer workshops include two hours of classroom instruction and six hours of driving vehicles on a safe, closed track adjacent to the Lewistown Airport. The one-day workshop is limited to 12 drivers per day. Teachers can earn up to nine renewal units or one college credit when they stay an extra day to student teach. School bus drivers can earn nine training hours toward their professional development requirements. The one-day workshops begin June 4 and end August 9. Teen Week is July 18-20 and registration for the one-day teen workshops opens in March. Visit DRIVE-Summer-Workshops to view the 2024 workshop calendar and register soon. For more information, email montanadrive@mt.gov

Traffic Education notices for instructor renewals will be emailed in February
If you are a state-approved traffic education teacher and your educator license expires this year, your approval to teach traffic education also expires. While your educator license needs to be renewed by June 30, you have until September 30 to renew your approval to teach traffic education. Teachers who have earned their Traffic Education minor and endorsement only need to submit a TE05 Renewal Application. Teachers still working toward their endorsement will receive an email with the number of credits needed prior to September 30 and will be given options for earning the required college credit. Visit the Driver Educators page on the OPI website for more information and to submit your renewal application. For assistance, email leann.haas@mt.gov or call (406) 444-4432.
