Traffic Safety Education

The Traffic Safety Education (TSE) team at OSPI oversees all traffic safety programs that are administered by public school districts in Washington state. The Washington state regulations that govern traffic safety education are RCW 28A-220 and WAC 392-153.

Our goal is to ensure that all public school traffic safety programs provide students with the skills and instruction necessary to build a lifetime of good driving habits. To accomplish this, the office provides an approval process to verify that the Traffic Safety Education program for each participating school district is in compliance with standards.
