Register Your Team

The teams participating in TRACTION Training Conferences can consist of up to 12 students (freshman, sophomore and junior) and 2 adult advisors.  To better implement team action plans, it is suggested that teams be diverse and made up of an equal number of male and female students, when possible. We request that the adult advisors and student team members commit to working as a team throughout the upcoming school year.  This is crucial to the success of the program!

Each team will be required to pay a registration fee of $15.00 per person which will be utilized for conference support. All other costs (meals, lodging, speakers, etc.) will be covered by the Missouri Department of Transportation, Highway Safety Division.

All registrations must be received by May 1, 2025 – cancellations made within 30 days of the event will result in a loss of your registration fee plus a $ 50.00 cancellation fee. No shows or cancellations within two weeks of the conferences will result in loss of registration fee along with a fee based on a % of the amount of rooms/meals we have to cover for your team not showing up.
