LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) --Â Kentucky State Police is trying to make it easier for young drivers in outlying areas of the state to get their driver's license.
The pilot program is being launched in Barren, Grant, Marion, Oldham and Perry counties to provide easier access to young Kentuckians wishing to obtain their driver’s license.
The pop-up program is designed to help those living in counties without a permanent, full-time Driver License Regional Office. Beginning Sept. 1, KSP driver test administrators will conduct the skills (road) test only for interested applicants ages 18 or younger residing in Barren, Grant, Marion, Oldham or Perry counties who wish to obtain their intermediate license.
The program is designed to reduce travel time and mileage for teen permit holders and their families who otherwise might have to drive to surrounding counties to participate in the testing.
Appointments are required and will be available through KSP's online scheduling system.
The locations for the initial pilot program are:
- Barren County: 100 Weldon Park, Glasgow
- Grant County: 224 S. Main St., Williamstown
- Marion County: 144 E. Mulberry St., Lebanon
- Oldham County: 100 W. Main St., La Grange
- Perry County: 234 S. Main St., Hazard
Locations are subject to change based on demand, but five counties will continuously be offered for bimonthly pop-up testing. All other driver testing will continue to be offered at permanent Driver License Regional Offices, which can be found here.
