Ford Motor Company Fund today is announcing an investment of $550,000 in North Texas community programs and nonprofits during the next 12 months as part of a new partnership with area Ford dealers. This brings Ford’s North Texas donations during the past decade to more than $5 million and more than $20 million statewide.
As part of this initiative, the first wave of 600 local teen drivers is behind the wheel today with professional drivers from the Ford Driving Skills for Life (DSFL) program. Ford DSFL is offering six free driving clinics on April 5-7 at Fair Park Dallas – the culmination of a two-week, safe driving campaign at area high schools.
A recent report by the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) shows that teen driver fatalities are on the rise among 16- and 17-year-old drivers. Traffic crashes are the number one killer of teens, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
