Research and Studies

  • Teen Driver Study Commission: Recommendation Report Update - Since the Teen Driver Study Commission issued its report on the state of teen driving in New Jersey, a variety of innovative programs and initiatives have been developed to help reduce teen crashes and ultimately save lives. Presented to the Governor and Legislature in March, 2008, the report outlined 47 recommendations for improving all aspects of teen driving in New Jersey. Included in these recommendations were 14 essential areas that were considered critical and should be addressed immediately to ensure the safety of young drivers. Updates on these essential recommendations, as well as other areas addressed in the report, are provided in this three-page document. UPDATED JULY 2010
  • Driving: Through the Eyes of Teens A research report of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and State Farm
