About You in the Driver Seat

The You In The Driver Seat App is designed to incentivize safe driving by emphasizing the fact that Responsibility has its Rewards. The app will provide a driving score for each trip, and points will be earned for all safe trips that are conducted without a distraction or excessive speeding. Points can be redeemed for gift cards once users achieve certain point levels, and random gifts will also be awarded to users that accumulate assorted achievement levels and badges.

Rewarding youth for good driving behavior.

The Teens In The Driver Seat (TDS) and U in the Driver Seat (UDS) programs are aimed at educating teens about their five most dangerous driving risks, including distracted driving. About 2,800 U.S. teens die each year in car crashes; that’s the equivalent of a school bus loaded with teenagers crashing once every week for an entire year. In Texas alone, fatal crashes involving drivers aged 15 to 17 have dropped nearly 70% since the program’s inception—due, at least in part, to this program’s statewide outreach. With partners like Union Pacific, State Farm and others, the programs have spread beyond the borders of the Lone Star State and now reached some 1,400 schools and 1.5 million teens nationwide.

Now, we need your help to make our program even more effective. Download the app today and begin enjoying the rewards associated with safe and responsible
