Bucks High Schoolers Wanted For Teen Safe Driving Event

TREVOSE, PA —The TMA Bucks Community Traffic Safety Program is seeking Bucks County high school teenagers to represent the county in a regional event on May 2.

The TMA Bucks Community Traffic Safety Program, Chester County Highway Safety Project, Delaware County Transportation Management Association, and Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services will hold the 3rd Annual Teen Safe Driving ROADeo.

The free event, which will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. May 2, will be held at the Montgomery Township Community and Recreation Center at 1030 Horsham Rd. in Montgomeryville.

The event aims to keep teens safe on the roadway through education, interaction, and fun.

There will be multiple “stations” for teens, including a driving simulator, mock traffic stop by police, blind spot demonstration, vehicle service station, drunk and distracted driving information, and an interactive presentation.

All students must have a parental permission slip to attend the event but don’t need to have a driver's license to participate. Students without a driver’s license will need a parent, guardian, or school chaperone to get them there. Parents that bring their kids are welcome to stay.

“Students will enjoy food and drinks, play fun games, have the chance to win giveaways, all while learning to be safe drivers,” TMA Bucks Community Traffic Safety Program manager Carly Mannon said. “If your child is in high school this is something you want them to participate in. We are excited to have Bucks County well represented at this year’s event.”

Parents, teens or schools can contact Mannon at carly@bctma.com with any questions.
