Driving is an essential activity for many MPR member employees. Considering the risk of serious injury or death and the potential for substantial litigation, each member must routinely require driver training for applicable staff and volunteers. MPR members have access to several online driver training programs through our partnership with Safety National — interactive, quiz-based courses available at no charge to eligible members.
