Why It Matters

Maine’s roads can be dangerous, especially for young drivers, motorcyclists, and pedestrians. With nearly 40% of all crashes involving drivers aged 16-24, it’s vital that we work together to reduce these statistics and protect everyone. Our work has a direct impact on the safety of our communities, families, and visitors, ensuring a safer future for all who travel in Maine.
