The Ohio Department of Public Safety (ODPS) 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 schools not meeting these standards or those in violation of current Ohio law.
ODPS inspects driving schools, including teenage driver schools, driver training schools
for those with disabilities, and Commercial Driver License training schools to verify 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 Ohio Driver Training at (614) 466-3524.
