A new driver’s education grant program is launching in Wisconsin. Governor Tony Evers and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation say the program aims to reduce barriers for low-income students to take driver education courses and become licensed drivers. The program covers a driving school’s fees for thirty hours of classroom time, six hours of observation, and six hours of behind-the-wheel driver training. The program is being funded by $6 million set aside in the governor’s 2023-25 biennial budget. Funds will be made available to eligible applicants on a first come, first serve basis.
