Advocacy & Education

Since 1902, AAA has been a leader in developing and supporting transportation policy as well as educational and safety programs for motorists, pedestrians, cyclists and children.

Transportation Policy and Government Advocacy
At a national level, AAA actively represents the interests of motorists and other travelers for fair transportation taxes, traffic safety issues, energy, environmental, travel and tourism issues. Club experts testify before the U.S. Congress on a variety of issues including safer highways and vehicles, drunk driving prevention programs, child passenger safety and truck safety.

Locally, AAA Oklahoma monitors legislative activities and proposes and drafts legislation to benefit Oklahoma travelers, reporting potentially significant developments to members.

Traffic Safety

AAA seeks to advance safety measures and allocate funding to maintain and improve highways. Clubs work with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to set safety guidelines and promote School Crossing Guard Programs, an Annual Traffic Safety Poster Contest, drunk driving prevention programs and teen driving safety campaigns.

Voluntary tax-deductible donations to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety provide funds so AAA can continue this important work. If you’d like to contribute, please send your donations to: AAA Oklahoma, Traffic Safety Foundation, 722 N Broadway, Suite 401, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73102.

AAA’s driver education course, we offer you “Take the Wheel,” AAA’s complete classroom and in-vehicle instructional program designed for parents to teach their teens to drive.

Oklahoma law allows teenagers who complete a Driver's Education course, including AAA's parent-taught "Take the Wheel" program to receive an unrestricted driver's license at an earlier age (16 1/2 years old) than students who choose to not take Driver's Education (17 1/2 years old) teaches teens the basics of safe driving. The course compliments Graduated Driver License requirements and addresses the most common causes of crashes among new drivers.
