Working Together to Save Lives and Reduce Injuries of
Teen Drivers on Indiana Roadways

Our Mission

The Indiana Graduated Driver's Licensing (GDL) Coalition is a partnership of public health agencies, public safety advocacy groups, insurance agencies, driver's education professionals, community-based organizations, and concerned parents who are dedicated to protecting and preserving the lives of young drivers on Indiana's roadways through public awareness campaigns, motorist education programs, and legislative support initiatives.

The primary mission of the Coalition is to work with the Indiana General Assembly to strengthen Indiana's existing GDL law.

Please familiarize yourself with this important issue, weigh the benefits against any concerns you may have and consider supporting legislation (HB1112) to strengthen our current law. We welcome and encourage you to contact us and to communicate with members of the Indiana legislature.

How to Contact Your Legislator and Help in Other Ways

Contact your legislator via telephone, email, fax or in person. 

• Remember that you are a voter, and legislators are elected to represent their constituents.  It is very important that they hear from you so they know how people stand on this issue. (Sample letters of support and contacting your State Legislator.)
• Our main hurdle will be overcoming the “perception” that this is a controversial issue.  We are finding most parents are very supportive of strengthening our law, but unless the legislators hear this directly from them, they will think otherwise.

• Provide them with fact sheets
• Ask them to sign a petition
• Ask them to contact their legislators in support of the issue
• Help us collect pictures of teens who have been killed or seriously injured in a teen driving related crash.

Testify at the hearings or help us find parents or teens who would be willing to testify.
