In 1994 NHTSA founded the National Organizations for Youth
Safety (NOYS), a coalition of national organizations, business
and industry leaders, and federal agencies who serve youth and
focus on youth safety and health.
Together, NHTSA and NOYS have developed several resources
including UnderYOURInfluence, a website and e-newsletter for
parents of teen drivers. It contains information on seat belts,
Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) laws, and underage drinking, plus tips on how to build and sustain a strong parent-teen driver relationship.
Additionally, NHTSA and NOYS have partnered to create YOUTH-Turn, a toolkit helping teens and young adults turn adversity into educational and constructive opportunities; and Make Your Parties Rock, a guide to safe and sober event planning.
Today NOYS influences more than 80 million young people and their adult advisors. Its mission is to promote youth empowerment and leadership, and build partnerships that save lives, prevent injuries, and enhance safe and healthy lifestyles among all youth.
