Independent Living Program’s (ILP) | Transitional Age Youth (TAY)If you are under 21 years of age you may be eligible to receive YDS-ILP services and resources (go to their website at www.probation.lacounty.gov or www.ilponline.org or contact your ILP Coordinator to verify eligibility). The cost of Behind-The-Wheel Driving Training services are provided at no cost to you. If eligible, all cost are paid by YDS-ILP Program except for cancellation or extended enrollment fee.

You must have an instruction permit while learning to drive. Your accompanying driver must be 18 years old or older and have a valid California Driver’s License. Note, an instruction permit does not permit you to drive alone-not even to a DMV field office to take the driving test.

- 6 Hours Behind-The-Wheel Training;
- Assistance with scheduling your DMV Driving Test;
- DMV Test Pre-preparation and transportation to a local DMV Office (2 attempts);
