New Road Safety Matters Transition Year programme launched

Minister for Education Norma Foley has launched a new transition year (TY) programme designed to promote road safety among young people.
Developed in partnership with the Road Safety Authority (RSA) and supported by An Garda Síochána, the Road Safety Matters programme aims to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to become safe road users.
The programme consists of 10 modules covering topics such as learning to drive, car components, speed, alcohol, drugs, distractions, safety belts, vulnerable road users, and assessment. It is designed to be flexible and can be adapted to fit different school timetables.
The Road Safety Matters programme will be initially introduced in 143 schools nationwide, with plans to expand its reach in the future.
Speaking at the launch, Minister Foley emphasised the importance of road safety education for young people and expressed her hope that this programme will make a significant impact on reducing road accidents.
The RSA and An Garda Síochána are committed to working together to promote road safety and ensure that young people have the necessary education and awareness to stay safe on the roads.
