AARP Driver Safety

Build a community of safer drivers

Since 1979, AARP Driver Safety has helped to keep millions of drivers safe and confident while on the road with leading educational programs and resources, including the AARP Smart Driver course, CarFitWe Need to Talk, Smart DriverTEK, and Quick Learnings. In 2022, Driver Safety launched AARP SafeTrip™, its first-ever safe-driving app.

Reaching those drivers over multiple decades would not be possible without the help of passionate and dedicated Volunteers. If you find satisfaction when helping others, Volunteering with Driver Safety is a great opportunity to make an impact in your community by helping drivers stay safe on the roads.
