The AAA Foundation was established in 1947 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit research affiliate of AAA/CAA with a North American focus. Its mission is to identify traffic safety problems, foster research seeking solutions, and disseminate information and education resources, funded through donations. Surveys found Americans equally concerned about aggressive and drunk drivers. The AAA Foundation analyzed fatal crash data and found that as many as 56% involved unsafe behaviors like speeding, reckless driving, or failure to yield associated with aggressive driving.
