In its’ 66th year, AAA’s Traffic Safety Poster Program has communicated safety messages in schools, encouraged peer-to-peer communication through creativity and established trust in AAA for future members and their parents. By demonstrating an understanding of an age-appropriate topic, students create visual representations depicting the importance of child passenger safety, pedestrian safety, distracted driving and the dangers of alcohol and driving. Teaching these important safety messages can help combat the number-one killer in children ages 2-14 and the increased dangers in novice driving that teens face today.
For more information regarding the AAA Traffic Safety Poster Program or to submit an entry, contact your local AAA club. ALSO CLICK HERE
