About this organization
Mission
The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety is dedicated to saving lives and reducing injuries on our roads. The impact of traffic crashes is felt by every person and every family, in every state across our country. Each year, more than 33,000 lives are lost and 3,000,000 injuries are sustained, all at an economic cost of more than $230 billion. We aim to identify problems, foster research that seeks solutions, and disseminate information and educational materials that promote good traffic safety practices.
