The Auto Club has been an integral part of Southern California for more than 100 years, not only because it provides for its members’ needs, but because it takes an active role in helping to build a better community. Toward that goal, the Auto Club is involved in promoting traffic safety, enhancing education, improving transportation systems and supporting the communities we serve. The Auto Club is committed to protecting our youngest population by promoting laws that improve their safety, sponsoring programs in schools that benefit thousands of students each year, improving education and safety for teen drivers, assisting mature drivers in meeting new mobility challenges, preventing and deterring impaired driving and serving our local communities through effective traffic safety education programs. In addition to offering a variety of programs, the Auto Club provides resources in the following areas: alcohol awareness, bicycle safety, child passenger safety, driver education, pedestrian safety, school bus safety, and senior mobility and wellness. Our programs and materials are available to schools, community organizations and law enforcement FREE of charge. Quantities may, however, be limited based on availability.

The Auto Club works closely with the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety to identify new opportunities for research, and to develop and disseminate educational information and tools focused on improving traffic safety.
