Traffic Safety

A grant awarded by AAA – The Auto Club Group Foundation will allow SAFE (Seatbelts Are For Everyone) Iowa the opportunity to continue their work with young drivers (ages 14-17) across the state of Iowa.  

As students across Nebraska and Iowa begin heading back to school over the coming weeks, AAA urges motorists to wear seatbelts, slow down, stay alert in neighborhoods, and school zones. Also, to be especially vigilant for pedestrians during before- and after-school hours.

As AAA prepares to rescue more than 393,000 drivers nationwide with car trouble this Independence Day weekend, it will also provide a free service in effort to keep impaired drivers off the road. The Auto Club Group is activating its Tow to Go program in Nebraska, Iowa and other select states (see below), offering a safe ride for would-be impaired drivers and their vehicles.

While on patrol this summer, Minnesota law enforcement agencies will be on the lookout for kids wearing helmets. If caught, a child may find themselves making a trip to a local DQ® restaurant.

Fatal wrong-way driving crashes on our nation's highways are a persistent and devastating threat that is only getting worse.

As part of AAA’s annual School’s Open, Drive Carefully campaign, motorists are advised to expect to see children along their travel routes throughout the day and to be extremely cautious in neighborhoods.
