County continues long-running traffic safety education program; funds educator positions

Oklahoma County Commissioners · August 27, 2026

Summary

The board approved funding for grant-funded traffic safety educator positions and an expanded 'team driving' program, a county initiative running for more than 20 years to meet demand for driver-safety education.

Commissioners approved the county’s annual traffic safety program funding, which supports grant-funded educator positions and an expanded 'team driving' effort. A presenter described the program as a long-standing initiative the county has run for more than 20 years and said demand has outpaced the county’s ability to schedule sessions.

The presenter said the program is "for lack of a better term, just blown up. We can't run enough of those to keep up with the request" and noted the county has offered versions of the program for "20 plus years, 25 plus years." The item was approved on the consent docket.
