Advocacy and Education

Transportation Policy and Government Advocacy
At a national level, AAA actively represents the interests of motorists and other travelers for fair transportation taxes, traffic safety issues, energy, environmental, travel and tourism issues. Club experts testify before the U.S. Congress on a variety of issues including safer highways and vehicles, drunk driving prevention programs, child passenger safety, graduated driver license programs, and truck safety. Locally, AAA Arizona Public Affairs is committed to advocating on behalf of motorists' rights on a broad spectrum of issues, including traffic safety, teen driving and consumer choice. We remain actively engaged in the legislative process, monitoring, supporting or opposing legislation that may affect the safety, security and peace of mind for our members.

Traffic Safety
AAA seeks to advance safety measures and allocate funding to maintain and improve highways. Club representatives sit on several committees and coalitions devoted to addressing the issues of traffic safety and motorist rights, including but not limited to the Governor’s Traffic Safety Advisory Council, Maricopa Association of Government’s Transportation Safety Committee, Arizona Highway Users, the Senior Mobility Group and the Loop 101 Photo Enforcement Technical Evaluation Committee. AAA Arizona is also actively involved in traffic safety education in our communities, assisting with regional crossing guard training programs, drunk driving prevention strategies, teen driving safety campaigns and senior mobility initiatives. In addition, our traffic safety staff works with schools in the state to deliver traffic safety messages to students.

Driver Education
AAA Arizona’s Approved Driving School Network (ADSN) inspects and approves the best driver training schools in the state. You can have confidence in ADSN schools because they must meet AAA’s standards, including quality AAA-approved course curriculum and AAA-certified instructors.
