Frequently Asked Questions
Any student, faculty, or staff member at one of the participating Orange County schools may join, provided they have a valid learner permit or driver license. Friends, family, and community members can also join a school's team and count toward that school's score.
Yes! The challenge is completely free to join!
Safe Roads Challenge does not send or sell user's personal information, location data, or individual performance data to anyone, including your insurance company. For full privacy policy, see: https://saferoadschallenge.com/privacy-policy/
No. The app is designed to use very minimal battery and data. Trips are recorded efficiently in the background, and we delay processing until after your drive is complete. If you connect to Wi-Fi, the app will use Wi-Fi to upload trip data instead of cellular whenever possible - helping reduce data usage even further.
The first step is joining your school's team. To do that, click the Teams Tab from the bottom navigation bar. Then tap Manage Teams and enter your school's code to join the team:
Advent Health University: AHUDRIVE
Full Sail University: FSUDRIVE
University of Central Florida: UCFDRIVE
Valencia College: VCDRIVE
After you've joined the team, you'll see the Smart Driving College Challenge in Your Teams list. Tap "Go to challenge" to view the leaderboards and challenges associated to your team.
To view the $20 sign up bonus in the app, click the For You tab on the bottom navigation bar. You'll be brought to the Quests page and should see a Quest titled "Take your first safe trip!".
Once you have taken a drive, claim your trip on the Trips tab, and if you scored 70+ overall, you will see the Quest's progress bar complete. Tap the green "Claim" button on the Quest and you're done! Safe Roads Challenge will email you the gift card credit automatically to the email address associated with your account.

iOS Users: Go to your device's settings, scroll down to Safe Roads Challenge, click on Location, select 'Always' for location access, and turn the 'Precise Location' toggle on. The next step is to ensure that your Motion & Fitness is set to On. To find the Motion and Fitness setting go to device settings select Privacy & Security, go to Motion & Fitness and click Fitness Tracking to On. In addition to these settings, low power mode needs to be turned off as that will interfere with Trips recording in the background of your phone.
Android Users: Go to your device's settings and scroll down to Apps. From there, find and select Safe Roads Challenge, turn your location on to 'Always Allow' and set your Motion and Fitness to On. For Trips to record properly, battery optimization has to be turned off for Safe Roads Challenge. To do this, return to the Apps section of settings, click on the 3 dots in the top right corner, select Special Access, choose Optimize Battery Usage, click on the dropdown beside 'Apps not Optimized' and choose All. Scroll down to Safe Roads Challenge and turn the toggle to Off.
