RE: Preserve Access to Online Driver’s Education in Massachusetts

Dear (Representative/Senator) (Last name):

My name is (Your Name), and I am writing to you as a constituent from (Your Town) and as a (parent of a teenage driver/driver’s education instructor/local business owner—choose one or more). I am urging you to take action to preserve online driver’s education in Massachusetts beyond September 22, 2025, when current authorizations (Bill S.2441, An Act relative to online driver education and Bill H.3661, An Act relative to drivers education) are set to expire.

As you know, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles allowed driving schools to offer virtual, instructor-led driver’s education classes. This temporary flexibility was extended most recently by H.3661, but that extension is set to end this fall. Without new legislation, driving schools across the state will be forced to eliminate online instruction entirely, regardless of how successful and widely appreciated those programs have been.

This shift would place a heavy burden on students, families, and small businesses. For many communities, especially in rural or underserved areas, online instruction has improved access to driver’s ed while maintaining high standards for safety, engagement, and accountability. These programs have helped working parents manage schedules, reduced transportation barriers, and allowed businesses to reach more students without being limited by infrastructural constraints or physical classroom space.

Ending this option abruptly would not only disrupt services for thousands of families and drivers-in-training across Massachusetts—it could also force driving schools to scale back their operations, lay off staff, or close altogether. A one-size-fits-all return to in-person-only instruction fails to recognize the value that online education has proven to offer under experienced, qualified instructors.

I urge you to support new legislation that permanently authorizes online, instructor-led driver’s education in Massachusetts. We need a path forward that keeps quality and access at the center of policy and ensures that families and small businesses aren’t needlessly penalized.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
(Your Full Name)
