Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death for U.S. teens, but UPS and its world-renowned drivers are making an effort to change that by partnering with Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

A Commitment to Safe Driving

The UPS Foundation, the charitable arm of UPS (NYSE: UPS), has rolled out a national auto safety program in collaboration with BGCA to teach the company's industry-leading safe driving techniques to teens. Based in large part on the same safety training used with UPS's own drivers, the program – UPS Road Code^TM – helps teens learn the code for safe driving.

UPS Road Code provides teens with four sessions of classroom-based instruction and time behind the wheel of a computerized driving simulator. About 125 UPS employees serve as trained volunteer instructors for the program.
