The Ohio Department of Public Safety licenses driving schools and renews licenses to schools that meet and/or exceed standards outlined in the Ohio Revised Code. ODPS has vowed to be vigilant in its investigation and discipline of those schools not meeting these standards or those in violation of current Ohio law.
The Governor's Highway Safety Office
inspects driving schools, including teenage driver schools, driver training schools
for those with disabilities, and CDL training schools to verify that they are meeting
and/or exceeding state-set standards.
Upon completion of the inspection and closure of any related administrative case, an inspection report can be obtained by contacting Wendy Forbes, Driver Training.
