benefit to our teens ii This group will work to ensure that duplication of services is reduced by combining efforts of interested agencies iii This group will make efforts to meet with all Johnston County High School Principals , Board of Education and Community College Administration each year to coordinate county - wide efforts and strategies regarding teen driving safety for the coming year B Appoint A Teen Driving Safety Coordinator i This person will oversee the teen driving group listed above by facilitating meetings , researching existing programs , reaching out to other partnering agencies ii We recommend creating a position or assigning an existing county employee to ensure consistency and non - bias iii The Teen Driving Safety Coordinator will oversee the creation of a county website to address teen driving safety issues C Increase traffic stops and law enforcement presence at High Schools during arrival and departure times D Support efforts to identify coordination of teen driving programs at State Level i Currently , there are multiple agencies at the State Level assembling strategies and programs to aggressively reduce teen fatalities Department of Public Instruction , Department of Transportation , NC Highway Patrol , Governor’s Highway Safety Program , Department of Insurance , Department of Crime Control and Public Safety , Department of Motor Vehicles , UNC Highway Safety Research Center , etc These agencies are approaching teen drivingPage1804 May 3 , 2010 – 10 00 am Continued safety issues sincerely , but without unified efforts We recommend that one state agency be in charge of coordinating all teen safety driving issues , including a state website II Teen Involvement A Heighten public awareness of teen driving safety issues in Johnston County i Provide multiple opportunities for students to produce safety campaigns at high schools utilizing signs , mascots , slogans , internet , crashed cars , etc It is crucial to have a “ buy in ” from teens Studies have proven that peer - to - peer interaction is more successful than adult - to - teen interaction B Pilot an Awareness Campaign i Develop a marketing campaign to magnify student awareness Utilize programs already in existence such as the Texas program “ Teens in the Driver’s Seat ” which provides videos , t - shirts and other marketing strategies to gain the attention of teens and parents III Identify and Improve the Roadways in Johnston County A Create awareness of an already existing service , where all citizens , county employees , teachers , teens , etc can call NCDOT to report dangerous road conditions These conditions can include intersections , extreme drop - offs , narrow roadways , curves , etc The telephone number is 1 - 877 - DOT - 4 - YOU B Review data from the above - mentioned call - ins to begin establishing priorities and planning to address hazardous roads C Meet with DOT Board Members and other DOT officials to request funding to improve road conditions in Johnston County , such as , using rumble strips at intersections , shoulder improvements , curve markings , etc IV New Training Methods A Provide driving simulators in every high school for enhancing the driving experience of the Driver’s Education curriculum B Provide computer - based games at a pre - driver’s education level to introduce the basics of driving C Create a local driving course s for realistic driving experience to be used by Driver’s Education instructors in teaching lane departure correction and other types of real world driving situations Possible sites Johnston County Airport , Johnston Community College , Parking lots of Johnston County schools V Reorganize and Standardize Driver’s Education A Currently , Driver’s Education instructors can be credentialed by taking an 80 hour DMV course or through East Carolina University There is no standardization of how the curriculums are taught from school to school or from county to county in North Carolina We support the Department of Public Instruction overseeing the total Driver’s Education Program and requiring a statewide standardization for training , instruction , and curriculum B Currently , Driver’s Education in Johnston County is 37 hours of classroom training and 6 hours of behind the wheel driving This committee feels that students need more experience and training behind the wheel C This committee suggests shifting the Driver’s Education program back into the day educational curriculum either as part of the health curriculum or as an elective Classroom training only VI Improve Graduated Licensing Program GDL Page2805 May 3 , 2010 – 10 00 am Continued A Mandate a parental driving log where students and their parent guardian must spend at least 50 hours behind the

Pope recalled how she felt after leaving the homes of two families that had lost teenagers due to motor vehicle accidents and she decided that even if there was ultimately nothing that could be done , the Board had a moral responsibility to try Commissioner Pope stated she has teenage drivers in her family and she also strongly feels the need to find ways to lessen future incidents Commissioner Pope noted in the beginning there were people that asked her what else could be done , and she stated that the recommendations from the Committee are worthwhile for the Commissioners to research Commissioner Pope thanked Ms Carroll and Mr Parrish as well as all the Committee members that had a part in the report At the request of the Chairman , those Committee members in the audience introduced themselves and were recognized by the Board of Commissioners Chairman Stewart commented that the Committee has a true passion for their work and he thanked the Department of Transportation

themselves driving in a reckless manner Sheriff Bizzell stated the Sheriff’s Office would support and help with the efforts of the Committee Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr stated he has heard that the State is considering cutting back on the funding for Driver’s Education courses Will Sanders , Driver’s Ed Coordinator for Johnston County Schools , explained that Driver’s Education courses are funded through the Department of Motor Vehicles DMV whereby , the DMV transfers the funds to the Department of Public Instruction DPI who oversees Driver’s Education Mr Sanders stated in the DMV’s proposed budget , they did not include the transfer of funds over to DPI for Driver’s Education Mr Sanders stated as of right now , the funding has been included in the Governor’s proposed budget , but nothing will be finalized until the General Assembly approves the budget Ms Carroll reported that the Committee learned , through Mr Sanders , that for every license plate registration renewal , 300 of the renewal fee is transferred from the DMV to the Department of Transportation which then forwards the funds to DPI ; therefore , she stated the public is funding the Driver’s Education Program Commissioner Mims expressed his support for the recommendations in the report , specifically , the recommendation to increase the hours of “ behind the wheel ” training during Driver’s Education classes Page3806 May 3 , 2010 – 10 00 am Continued Commissioner Mims stated the County has changed and traffic has increased dramatically over the years which necessitates more training behind the wheel Chairman Stewart stated one of the recommendations in the report is to formally appoint a Teen Driving Safety Coordinator for the County Following a brief discussion , it was the consensus of the Board to appoint Derrick Duggins , Johnston County Emergency Services , as the Teen Driving Safety Coordinator for the County At the inquiry of County Manager Rick Hester , Chairman Stewart stated the Steering Committee is still officially in place until further notice and he asked the members to keep working on the issue Commissioner Pope stated that the Board is always bragging

be the county that lessens the teen tragedies more than any other county in North Carolina Commissioner Jeffrey P Carver thanked the Committee for their work and stated he is looking forward to seeing the specific tactics and strategies as the next steps Upon a motion by Commissioner DeVan Barbour , seconded by Commissioner Cookie Pope , and carried by unanimous vote , the Board accepted and
