As we know, we are our kids’ biggest role models. And while we may not realize it, they are even watching us when we are behind the wheel. Children learn driving habits much earlier than we think, as soon as the child’s car seat can turn to face front.
That’s why Toyota is teaming up with Safety City, a safety education program for second and third graders that blends classroom instruction with real-world driving experiences. Toyota is donating $49,000 toward ten kid-sized electric cars which will help students get a hands-on experience and carry good driving habits over to when they do get on the road.
For Toyota, supporting programs like Safety City is an obvious choice. “We believe everyone deserves to be safe, and we want to be a part of helping keep people safe, on and off the road,” said Wil James, president of Toyota’s Kentucky plant. “That’s a priority for us, and it’s why we’re investing in programs like Safety City.”
