Mi Ae Lipe
On March 27, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) honored Mi Ae Lipe of Bothell, Wash. with the NHTSA Public Service Award at the 2017 Lifesavers Conference in Charlotte, N.C.
The South Korean-born Lipe volunteered many hours over the past five years to push the state towards strengthening driver license testing and training. As a result of that work, Washington’s Target Zero® plan now includes a strategy of learning about other countries’ approaches to driver testing and training.
Mark Butcher of Sammamish, Wash. also received the same award for his contributions.
