The Best RoadReady Alternative in 2026 — And How to Keep Your Hours

Updated July 2026 · 4 min read

Quick answer: RoadReady — the Safe Roads Alliance app recommended by several state DMVs — is no longer available in its original form. The closest like-for-like replacement is DrivePath: it tracks supervised hours against all 50 states' requirements, supports multiple drivers, exports a DMV-ready PDF, and — critically — imports your existing log as CSV or PDF so the hours you already drove still count.

What happened to RoadReady

RoadReady launched in 2013 and became the default permit-hour logger — over 70 million drives logged, and official recommendations from state agencies like the Massachusetts RMV. But the app is no longer maintained in its original form, leaving families mid-way through their 40 or 50 hours with a log they can't keep building.

If that's you, you need two things: a replacement logger, and a way to not lose the hours you already recorded.

How to migrate your hours to DrivePath

  1. Get your old log out. If you still have RoadReady installed, export or screenshot your drive history. If you only have a printed or emailed log, that works too.
  2. Download DrivePath free and pick your state — your total and night-hour targets load automatically.
  3. Import your log. DrivePath accepts CSV and PDF imports and merges the drives into your history. If your old record is paper-only, batch-add drives with Log Past Drive — date, duration, supervisor, and conditions for each.
  4. Verify the totals. Your dashboard should now show the imported hours against your state requirement — the same place you left off, minus the abandoned app.
  5. Keep driving. Use the live timer for every new practice session, and export the final DMV-ready PDF when the bars fill.
Switching from a paper log or spreadsheet instead? Same process — CSV import handles spreadsheets directly, and manual entry covers glovebox sheets. No logged hour gets left behind.

Your hours still count. Keep counting them.
