Program is part of DrivePoint’s efforts to strengthen Colorado’s professional driver pipeline and build Colorado’s next generation of professional drivers and transportation professionals.
United States, 1st Sep 2026—DrivePoint CDL Academy, a Denver-based training and testing facility for commercial driver’s licenses (CDL), today announced the launch of its Transportation Workforce & Safety Initiative. The initiative trains future commercial vehicle operators in safety skills that go beyond driving-related requirements. The goal is to augment Colorado’s pipeline of professional drivers, which is currently shrinking, and build Colorado’s next generation of professional drivers and transportation professionals.
“At DrivePoint, our mission extends beyond CDL training,” said Alisha Brown. “We believe professional drivers play a vital role in our communities, economy, and public safety. Through workforce development, safety leadership, and community engagement, we are committed to supporting the next generation of transportation professionals.”
The initiative supports career pathways into transportation and commercial driving, promoting transportation careers as stable, high-demand professions in the process. It provides training opportunities for career changers, veterans, women, and individuals entering the transportation industry. The initiative works by partnering with employers to develop safer and more qualified drivers. By so doing, the initiative will help address workforce shortages in trucking, utilities, municipalities, passenger transportation, and fleet operations.
“Transportation is essential infrastructure,” Brown added. “Most people don’t even realize how much their communities rely on skilled drivers to keep goods, utilities, public services, and people moving. As the industry struggles with a shortage of trained professionals, we are all going to feel the effects soon. Our initiative intends to avert problematic outcomes.”
Safety leadership is one of the initiative’s core objectives. As Brown put it, “Professional driver training is about far more than passing a test. It is about creating a culture of safety.” To this end, the initiative emphasizes risk awareness, training students to perform thorough vehicle inspections and reinforcing the importance of brake safety, cargo securement, and compliance.
Brown added, “We support employers in building safer fleets and reducing preventable incidents. By encouraging professionalism and accountability in the transportation industry, we are fielding graduates who contribute to safer roads for everyone, including families, commuters, emergency responders, and fellow motorists.”
DrivePoint invites employers, workforce development organizations, municipalities, community partners, and aspiring transportation professionals to join the conversation about building a stronger, safer transportation workforce for Colorado.
