2009 Traffic Safety Poster Program
 

The No. 1 killer of children ages 3 to 14 isn't a disease - it's traffic and pedestrian crashes. That's why AAA works with young people across the country to spread the word about how to stay safe through the AAA Traffic Safety Poster Contest. In its 65th year, the contest encourages students from kindergarten through 12th grade to put their best creative foot forward and develop posters illustrating key safety messages. The artwork is judged locally and nationally, and top entries can earn prize money. In fact, more than $18,000 was awarded to national winners in 2009.

 

 

Ben Kwan from University High School in Irvine, Calif., was awarded the national Grand Award in the 2009 AAA Traffic Safety Poster Contest for his video PSA about drinking and driving.

Crashes vs. Congestion


AAA recently released a groundbreaking report that shows traffic crashes cost more than traffic congestion. The report, "Crashes vs. Congestion: What's the Cost to Society?," reveals that crash costs are nearly double those of congestion in very large metropolitan areas, and more than seven times the cost in small urban areas with less congestion. This report demonstrates that safety issues warrant increased attention from policymakers at all levels, as well as the traveling public.
