MPI increasing capacity for Driver Z program
On Wednesday, the Crown corporation announced it increased capacity for the fall session of Driver Z to nearly 4,700 seats, including 2,126 outside of Winnipeg. This is an increase of 500 spots since the fall 2024 session when it offered 4,200 seats available.
MPI noted that this puts it on track for 10,000 seats this year, which will bring it back to pre-pandemic registration levels.
MPI added that registration for the Driver Z fall session will begin on July 23 at 8 a.m. The program, which is offered in communities around the province, uses a mix of e-lessons, virtual and in-person classes, and in-car sessions to help students learn to drive safely.
MPI will post the Driver Z course finder on July 18 so customers can pre-plan which course works best for them. Parents are also encouraged to complete the first few steps of registration, including setting up the new driver as an MPI customer and purchasing the Driver Z program, before registration day.
On the day of registration, parents and guardians can sign up their child for the program at an Autopac broker or MPI service centre, through the MPI Contact Centre at 204-985-7000 or by calling the MPI driver education phone line at 204-985-7199.
