Safety Improvements

As we did during consideration of the Transportation Efficiency Act - TEA 21 - in 1997 and 1998, AAA will actively support legislation that guarantees federal gas tax dollars are invested in the nation's surface transportation infrastructure to promote mobility and ensure safety.

This does not include simply expanding road capacity.

AAA also will advocate for multimodal transportation choices that meet the needs of local communities.

AAA is recognized nationwide as an advocate for improving safety on our highways. From advocating better child passenger safety laws to working for graduated licensing laws for teens learning to drive, AAA's goal is to protect the safety and mobility of our 45 million members and the traveling public. While these activities may not be directed at improving the environment, they are nonetheless the cornerstone of our public service activities. AAA gauges its success in advocacy by its successes in promoting safe travel.

This includes improving safety for pedestrians and bicyclists. AAA has many educational programs and a variety of educational materials on this subject.
