Traffic Safety

The Rock Valley College Traffic Safety Program uses the National Safety Council curriculum for a variety of individual, employer-supported and court-supervised participants.

Supervision Program

The college joins regional courts, local governments, and law enforcement agencies to provide the educational option of a four-hour or an eight-hour class for minor traffic violations and/or Court referrals. Motorists who choose class instead of court can keep the violation off their public driving record, potentially avoid higher insurance premiums and learn effective defensive driving techniques.

Employers

Workplace leaders committed to employee and work place safety can choose on site driver safety classes tailored to workplace schedules and locations in northwestern Illinois. Participation in driver improvement programs can result in increased productivity, fewer accidents and lower insurance premiums.

Personal Interest (Voluntary Enrollment)

Individuals attend the program for personal interest and self-development.
