AARP DRIVER SAFETY PROGRAM
If you are 50 years of age and older, you know that cars have
changed as well as traffic regulations, driving conditions, and the
roads we travel on every day.
The AARP Driver Safety Program is hosted at the Millcreek
Municipal Building monthly throughout the year.
First-time attendees MUST attend an eight-hour, two-day
course (4 hours each day). If you have previously attended the
course, you are eligible to take a four-hour, one-day “refresher
course.” The course is open to all Millcreek and non-Millcreek
residents.
In these classes, you will learn:
• defensive driving techniques, new traffic laws and rules
• how to deal with aggressive drivers
• how to handle problem situations, such as right-of-way
and blind spots
Best of all, those who complete the course can earn a discount
on their auto insurance. (Please consult your insurance agent.)
Cost for the program is $15 for AARP members and $20 for
non-members.
Registration is required. For any questions or to register for the
course, call the Public Service Department at 814.833.1111.
Upcoming classes will be held on:
October 10 & 11 Two day course 9:00AM-1:00PM
October 12 Refresher Course 9:00AM-1:00PM
