AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety
- AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety
The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety is a non-profit, charitable organization conducting relevant traffic safety research and educating the public on the findings. To educate the public, the Foundation creates educational materials, such as brochures, handbooks, videos, and DVD games. Foundation research has been used to strengthen laws, and advise states on roadway improvements. The Foundation’s 2007 “Nationwide Review of Graduated Driver Licensing" study confirmed how valuable graduated driver licensing programs can be to saving lives and provided the science needed to support advocacy efforts for new and strengthened legislation. The Foundation’s 2006 “Safety Impacts of Pavement Edge Drop-offs” study is used by the Federal Highway Administration to advise states on road improvement.
Programs are also run in cooperation with state departments of transportation that rates the relative risk of rural road segments. Pilots have been completed in Florida, Iowa, Michigan, and New Jersey where the program continues to contribute to the highway management programs in these states. Pilots are currently underway in Illinois, Kentucky, New Mexico, and Utah.
