As part of that support, the OPHA BEWG has conducted research to better understand the needs and attitudes of Beginner Driver Education (BDE) school staff around including and/or enhancing sharing the road with cyclists (STRC) curriculum content by gathering intofmration about the current curriculum used by their school. The information gathered from this survey has helped to guide OPHA’s strategy around STRC information in BDE schools throughout the province.
