David Strickland, Administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (ADTSEA) addressed the ADTSEA participants at the Annual ADTSEA Conference in Honolulu, Hawaii on July 19, 2011. The Administrator pledged that NHTSA will continue to support driver education activities at the national level and that driver education is an integral component within a state's Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) Program. He stated that driver education is a fundamental building block in the driver licensing process and that driver education should be made available to all new drivers. ADTSEA would like to extend its appreciation to Mr. Strickland for attending the 2011 ADTSEA Conference.
