The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety is dedicated to saving lives and reducing injuries by preventing traffic crashes. Our mission is to research why motor vehicle crashes happen and educate the public about how to avoid problems on the road. We offer useful information to everyone who uses the road - pedestrians, cyclists, children, drivers young and old, school bus passengers, school safety patrols, and more.
Research is only the beginning.
The Foundation uses its research to create focused, high-impact educational materials for all age groups. Knowledge is the first step to becoming a better driver. The Foundation's studies have shown that understanding the risks of driving and one's own limitations can prevent crashes. The Foundation's materials seek to give drivers new skills, sharpen old ones, and change attitudes, as the first step to changing behaviors. Other materials teach pedestrian safety to minimize the risks of injury.
