Colleges can expand driver training access

Institutions in Louisiana's community and technical college system can partner with local public school systems on optional pilot programs. The pilots aim to increase awareness of and access to commercial driver's license training and entry-level driver training. They also cover transportation, distribution, and logistics programs. Partnerships require approval from the college system's Board of Supervisors and the local public school board. The law specifies no funding or launch date.
