Mr. Taylor helped to start a community-wide discussion regarding teen driving issues and methods to address this tragic issue. With Mr. Taylor’s boundless energy and leadership, Drive Alive was founded. Drive Alive’s mission is to reduce the number of injuries and death among teen drivers by providing resources and support for parents to effectively communicate with their teens and guide their behaviors.

Drive Alive is a testament to his selfless devotion to our community. The Drive Alive Ralph Taylor Memorial Scholarship will help continue Mr. Taylor’s legacy by providing scholarships to area youth to attend driver’s education course.
