RESOLUTION 

Recognizing the American Highway Users Alliance on the 

occasion of its 75th anniversary, and for other purposes. 

Whereas in 1932, Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., then president of General Motors Corporation, and other civic leaders had the 

foresight to found the National Highway Users Conference for the purpose of working ‘‘for good, all-weather 

roads in every state’’;

Whereas in 1970, the National Highway Users Conference 

merged with the Automotive Safety Foundation to form 

the Highway Users Federation for Safety and Mobility, 

which in 1995 was renamed as the American Highway 

Users Alliance (known as the ‘‘Highway Users’’); 

Whereas since its founding, the Highway Users has been a 

persistent and outspoken proponent for adequate funding 

of the Nation’s highway infrastructure and a consistent 

voice for motorists who use the highways for leisure, family, and business purposes and for those who depend on 

the Nation’s transportation infrastructure for commercial 

purposes; 

Whereas the Highway Users has voiced the interests of motorists and businesses on all major national highway and 

traffic safety legislation over the past 75 years, including 

the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, which authorized 

the Interstate Highway System and established the Highway Trust Fund; 

Whereas the Highway Users has been a consistent force for 

protecting the integrity of the Highway Trust Fund and 

State highway trust funds; 

Whereas research conducted by the Highway Users has documented the promise and potential of modern United 

States highways in improving safety, facilitating emergency evacuations, and growing the national economy; 

and 

Whereas the Highway Users has been a strong advocate in 

favor of strengthening the national highway network by 

promoting a strong Federal role in mobility and safety 

and by advocating policies that benefit highway users: 

Now, therefore, be it
