AAA is a fully tax-paying, not-for-profit member organization. We exist for our members and will judge everything we do by how well it serves their needs. AAA does not have a political action committee or "PAC." AAA does not work on behalf of any political party or candidate.

Where Does Your Penny Go?
While advocacy may not be the primary reason members join AAA, we take this role seriously. Members expect us to represent their interests.

AAA has an enduring commitment to enhance and maintain the safety, security and peace of mind of its members. Most members view the work we do on their behalf as very important and have indicated so in a variety of ways - through face-to-face interaction in more than 1,100 AAA offices in North America, written correspondence, e-mail, surveys and phone calls.

No Hidden Agendas, No Secrets
AAA makes no secret of its advocacy work on safety and mobility issues. Members are kept informed through publications and other activities. The media is kept informed of AAA's activities and regularly reports on AAA's work.

Because AAA is nonpartisan and represents a large motoring constituency, it is relied upon by policy-makers at all levels of government as a trusted, credible and objective source of information on a wide range of safety and consumer issues.

AAA is a not-for-profit organization that still regards the public service work carried out on behalf of the traveling public as the cornerstone of what we are as an organization. We work hard to ensure that the public service and educational programs we initiate are well supported by scientific data.
