The program targets young people aged 18 to 25 for whom holding a driving licence is essential or clearly beneficial for employment. Funding covers driving school fees and related expenses for licence categories B, C or D, including special vehicles such as agricultural or forestry tractors, trolleybuses and trams.
Launched in 2015 and now in its 11th edition, the program has supported 412 young people so far, with funding provided by MOL România as part of its long-term social responsibility initiatives.
