ITD and ISP to host first-ever winter driving classes in Boise area

BOISE - For the first time ever, the Idaho Transportation Department and the Idaho State Police are teaming up to offer free, informative, and engaging winter driving safety classes in the Treasure Valley to help drivers prepare for icy roads and snowy conditions. This new initiative is designed to help drivers of all ages and experience levels navigate Idaho's winter roads safely.

With many new residents in the Treasure Valley, there's an increasing need for education on how to handle winter driving conditions. While the course is open to all drivers, it is particularly geared toward young drivers and those new to the area who may be facing their first winter driving season.

The class will be taught by ISP troopers and ITD operators, covering a wide range of important topics, including:

• Proper vehicle preparation
• Equipment for winter driving
• Understanding road conditions
• Driving tips for snow and ice
• How to handle crashes
• Snowplow safety

Seating is limited, and classes are filling up quickly. Attendees must register online to reserve a seat. Click here for Wednesday night class or click here for the Saturday morning class. Additional courses may be scheduled at a later date.
