Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting safer vehicles, safer drivers, and safer roads through the adoption of effective traffic safety laws and regulations. Founded in 1989, the organization works to advance evidence-based policies that reduce traffic crashes, injuries, and fatalities across the United States.
The organization typically pursues legislative policies related to motor vehicle safety standards, impaired and distracted driving prevention, occupant protection laws such as seat belt and child passenger safety requirements, graduated driver licensing systems, automated enforcement, and improved roadway safety measures.
The organization is primarily funded through contributions from insurance companies, safety organizations, and related corporate and foundation grants.
Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety works closely with national and state traffic safety coalitions, insurance industry groups, public health organizations, and transportation safety advocates.
