Our charitable purpose
Make driver-safety learning easier to reach.
Driver education can be expensive, confusing, or difficult to access. DriveSmart Minnesota exists to reduce those barriers by publishing clear learning materials and practice tools that Minnesota residents can use from a phone, tablet, or computer.
Our work supports new drivers preparing for the road, parents helping a teen learn, adults refreshing their knowledge, and older drivers adapting to changing needs. We focus on practical safety topics, Minnesota driving concepts, and decisions people face behind the wheel.
