The Community Driver Learner Programme (CDLP), run through the Waitomo District Council and Te Kuiti Community House Trust, aims to address the challenges many young people face when trying to get their restricted licence and help them to develop safer driving behaviours. 

Over 100 young people in Te Kuiti have gained their restricted drivers licence, thanks to an initiative funded by the NZ Transport Agency and the AA.
