Rotary Youth Driver Awareness (RYDA)
RYDA provides first quality road safety information to youth to help ensure when they commence driving they have the best road safety education possible.
RYDA, a not-for-profit company (limited by guarantee), is an organisation that has 
developed a road safety education program delivered to the youth of our community through Rotary Clubs.
The Program about road safety is directed towards our young people as as they approach the period in their life when they start driving a car and ride as a passenger in a car driven by one of their peers.
