Advocacy & Education

Transportation Policy and Government Advocacy
At the national level, AAA actively represents the interests of motorists and other travelers for fair transportation taxes, traffic safety issues, energy, environmental, travel and tourism issues. Club experts testify before the U.S. Congress on a variety of issues including safer highways and vehicles, drunk driving prevention programs, child passenger safety, teen driving programs, and truck safety.

Locally, AAA MountainWest public affairs is committed to advocating on behalf of motorists’ rights. We remain actively engaged in the legislative process, monitoring, supporting or opposing legislation that may affect the safety, security and peace of mind for our members.

Traffic Safety
AAA seeks to advance safety measures and allocate funding to maintain and improve highways. Club representatives sit on several committees and coalitions devoted to addressing the issues of traffic safety and motorist rights.

AAA MountainWest is also actively involved in traffic safety education in our communities, drunk driving prevention, teen driving safety campaigns and senior mobility initiatives. In addition, our traffic safety staff works with Safe Kids organizations and schools to deliver traffic safety messages to children and teens.

Driver Education
AAA has available a variety of driver training modules, guides and CD-ROMs, including “Teaching Your Teens to Drive,” “Licensed to Learn” and “Driver- ZED.” AAA members can find information for Mature Drivers and/or Defensive Driving online.
