The four session training program is based on UPS's safe driving methods. Taught by UPS volunteers, in 2009 UPS Road Code rolled out to Boys & Girls Clubs in U.S. cities. The program is available for teens between the ages of 13 to 18 in the following cities:
| Atlanta | Los Angeles | Dallas | Omaha, Neb. |
| Little Rock, Ark. | Oakland, Calif. | New York | Washington |
| Chicago | New Orleans | Orlando | Miami |
| Tampa |
The four session program utilizes the following curriculum:
Week One:
Adapted from the five viewing habits UPS drivers use each day, teens will hear from a UPS Circle of Honor driver, who is one of the nearly 4,800 active UPS drivers with 25 or more accident-free years.
Week Two:
Covers risky driving behaviors and the consequences of those behaviors – such as talking, texting or using cell phones while driving.
Week Three:
Focuses on the "10-Point Commentary," which are 10 safe driving tips and tools used by UPS drivers. This course also features a laptop-based hazard-identification test used by UPS to train new drivers.
Week Four:
Teens practice what they've learned behind the wheel of a computerized driving simulator. Three computer screens serve as a "windshield," and teens use a steering wheel and gas and brake pedals to navigate a virtual roadway. The simulators provide scores based on safe driving, providing a friendly competition aspect to UPS Road Code.

The UPS Road Code program is supported by the National Safety Council (NSC) and the Network of Employers for Traffic Safety (NETS).
