High School Traffic Safety Event

Join the Grand Junction High School Traffic Safety Event on Saturday, August 8, 2026, at the Grand Junction High School parking lot (1400 N. 5th Street, Grand Junction). In collaboration with Mesa County Valley School District 51, Colorado State Patrol, and local community organizations, this free event invites Mesa County students aged 15-18 to engage in hands-on learning about traffic safety. Participants can choose from two sessions: 8:00 a.m. - Noon or 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. Students will rotate through interactive stations focusing on key topics such as distracted driving, impaired driving awareness, seat belt safety, defensive driving, pedestrian safety, and bicycle safety. Upon completing the program, participants will receive a certificate of completion and a free school parking pass for the 2026-27 school year. Registration is available in person on the day of the event or online at www.gjcity.org/1628/GJPD-High-School-Traffic-Safety-Event.
