Traffic Education

Welcome to the Bozeman Schools Traffic Education Program!

The applications for the Summer B 2025 session are closed. The next available application period will be for the Fall 2025 session. That application session will take place in mid-August. Please check back on this website for details after July 1.

NOTE: Traffic Ed is not a requirement in Montana. The Student Relief Program allows 15+ year olds to start the licensing process without participating in a Traffic Education Course. Review the information at https://mvdmt.gov/new-driver-license/drivers-under-18/ to determine if this option is appropriate for you and your student.

General Information

Bozeman Public School District provides a driver’s education program for students who live within the geographic boundaries of the school district, where or not they are enrolled in the district. The student must reach their 15^th birthday within six months of the course completion and have not reached 19 years of age on or before September 10 of the school year. 

There are typically 6 traffic ed sessions per year: Fall, Fall 2, Winter, Spring, Summer A and Summer B. We will run the Fall 2 session if there are enough instructors available. Each session has its own online-only application period. We do not take continuous applications. Any applications must be done during the application periods. If your child does not make it into the session, you must reapply for any subsequent sessions. It may take several attempts to be accepted into a session as there are typically more applicants than there are spots. Placement is determined by date of birth. Please continue to check this website for future sessions and application dates.
