About Drive $mart America
The Best in the World
Drive $mart America (D$A) is the premier fuel efficient adaptive driving training program that teaches drivers to modify their driving habits to lower fuel consumption, reduce emissions and increase safety through classroom and behind the wheel training and ongoing individualized performance assessment.
D$A can change how you look at transportation costs

- Increase corporate social responsibility
- Increase driver health/welfare
- Increase public corporate image
Quite simply, our D$A Program will change the way your company views its fleet operation and will also change the way it views itself and its associates forever because we emphasize the Hu Factor, the driver, over technology.
