The state’s decision to stop funding driver’s education and high private driver’s education costs may be contributing to many Michigan teens delaying getting their driver’s licenses.
  • 56 percent of Michigan teenagers had driver’s licenses in 2021, down from 66 percent in 2000
  • Reasons for the decline include being too busy to learn and high car ownership costs
  • Cuts in driver’s ed funding may be disproportionately impacting Black and low-income teens
