The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, established in 1947, is committed to preserving lives by preventing traffic accidents and minimizing injuries when accidents occur. With a strong emphasis on research, the foundation conducts studies and prioritizes areas of investigation aimed at better understanding driver behavior, performance, and emerging technologies in the context of roadway systems. They also advocate for the safety and well-being of vulnerable road users, such as teen and senior drivers.

By exploring the connection between roads, infrastructure, and drivers, the foundation works towards creating a safer and more secure transportation environment for everyone. Their research encompasses a wide range of topics, including in-vehicle technology use among older drivers, the impact of posted speed limit changes on traffic safety, and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on traffic fatalities.
