Advocacy

Memorial Day signals the beginning of the summer travel season. It also signals a higher risk time for unsafe driving, motor vehicle crashes and fatalities. In a unified effort to help prevent traffic deaths and injuries, AAA Michigan, the Detroit Tigers, Michigan State Police and local law enforcement agencies have teamed up to promote a safer summer.

As warmer spring weather leads to increased outdoor activity, AAA and SEMCOG, the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments, are teaming up to encourage people throughout Southeast Michigan to walk, bike, and drive safely.

With more than 1.4 million members in Michigan, AAA has been a vocal advocate for improving traffic safety for over 100 years. AAA Michigan applauds the Michigan House Transportation Committee for passing three bills that will strengthen the current distracted driving law.

AAA and First Responder organizations teamed up to highlight the importance of Michigan’s Emergency Vehicle Caution Law – commonly referred to as the Move Over law -- at an event Tuesday morning at the AAA-Auto Club Group Administrative Office Building in Dearborn.
