MPS Drive nearly doubles seats available for winter session

One of the main focuses of TMJ4's Project: Drive Safer is education. A program for Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) students is expanding access to students who may not otherwise be able to afford driver's ed classes. It's all thanks to additional funding they've recently received. Jodie Donabar, a supervisor with MKE Recreation, which coordinates MPS Drive, says a typical driver's ed class costs about $500 on average. MPS Drive offers the classes for the cost of a learner's permit. That comes out to $35. "Having (students) get their license the correct way for $35 is way more appealing to the students now. Now the students are like 'Oh yes I can do $35, whereas $500? I can't do $500,'" said Donabar.
